re: A 50 yard, cross body, cross field pass on 4th & 10

It's been their m.o. all season. You leave the game on the line with the defense. It's going to be a loss. However, the 49ers offense got dominated. They had one good drive the entire game. Brees caused an early 14 point swing and then periodically shite the bed throughout the game, which is why they won. It's also why they won in 2011 and 2012. Don't turn the ball over and we win, plain and simple.
