Nothing that happens prior to the game winning score matters apparently. If the starters are killed by a falling comet in the 1st quarter but the 2nd teamers takes the lead in the 4th only to lose the game, that game is all about those disappointing 2nd teamers.




If the second teamers are playing in a crappy Greg Williams Scheme then yes.

It's more then points,

it's T.O.P
it's field position

you are not looking at the game as a whole

Thanks for being one of the few with a brain around here.

I NEVER said the turnovers didn't hurt, but points are NEVER guaranteed.

The only way we guaranty a win is if we stop them on the last drive.

ARE YOU frickING STUPID??? The SCORE is the number 1 stat that leads to a win or loss.


No, you are fricking stupid. The SCORE is the stat that determines a win or loss.

The turnover is the number one stat the leads to determining the final score.




I know we are emotional right now...no offense.

I shouldn't be taking this out on fellow Saints fans.

When you get down to 20 seconds to play in the game AND YOU'RE IN THE LEAD and your opponent is in your half of the field the ONLY thing that matters at that point is stopping them.

Not turnovers that happened earlier. Not T.O.P. Not field position.

Stop them from scoring and you win.

So your argument is now that we lost because we scored fewer points?


No... I'm saying that turnovers is NOT the #1 reason why you win or lose. Scoring and keeping the other team from scoring is the #1 reason.

look, the whole point was you were putting blame on one aspect of the game, i don't disagree that this didn't factor in, but the turnovers put us in this position.

hey man it sucks, i know

POINTS AREN'T GUARANTEED


MAYBE WE DO SCORE ON THE DRIVES WE TURNED THE BALL OVER BUT WE WILL NEVER KNOW.



NO ONE HERE IS SAYING TURNOVERS DIDNT PUT US IN A BIND, BECAUSE THEY DID.


BUT WE OVERCAME THE TURNOVERS AND HAD A LEAD LATE IN THE GAME... LIKE VERY LATE.... LIKE PACK UP THE BUS ITS TIME TO GO HOME LATE. AND OUR DEFENSIVE MASTERMIND WENT LIMP AND STUPID ON US.




YOU CANNOT SAY THAT TURNOVERS THAT HAPPENED IN THE FIRST LOST THE GAME BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO CLUE IF THEY REALLY WOULD HAVE LEAD TO SCORES BY US. FOR ALL YOU KNOW WE MISS THE FIRST FIELD GOAL, THEN WE GO 3 AND OUT AND PUNT ONLY TO HAVE SAN FRAN RETURN THEM FOR TD'S AND WE ARE DOWN 17 ANYWAYS.

but if you play prevent offense and make Alex Smith find a receiver and end up stopping him... then you for sure 100% win the game.

if we are speaking in hypotheticals then lets also say that regardless of the turnovers the niners still jump out to a 17 point lead

it would have been worse since it would have meant the d was getting dominated and controlling the game instead of just giving up scores because of the offense and special teams

no turn over 3/5 would have resulted in a saints TD or FG.
