[quote]You don't think SF would try to stop u from running to the 2 one 1st & 2nd?[/quote] The immediately kneel at the 3. ...

I'd be more inclined to fire CSP over making the same mistakes over and over again late in the game than I would for taking a risk and changing it up. I would've had more respect for CSP if Smith had gone down at the 1 and he bled the clock, allowing the offense to potentially win the game. Su...

[quote]You would be on here bitching and moaning if Smith took a knee at the 1 and then the Saints failed to punch it in. Smart guy, you go down at the 1 or wherever you like if you need a FG to win but not if you need a TD. Go look up the winning % of each scenario. That's what coaches at the elite...

And the 49ers sure as heck aren't scared of us. And they know it'll be even tougher for us having to go to SF in the playoffs. Our defense probably doesn't stop the SF offense one time out there. If we play the 49ers in the playoffs Drew and the offense will need to score a TD on EVERY POSSESSION...

Do not ever trust this defense to ever hold a lead for you. Assume that you need to score with 5 seconds or less left. If you do this you have a chance to win another SB before retiring. If you rely on this defense they WILL destroy your chances in the playoffs EVERY TIME! Learn from this. ...

[quote]And what happens if we fumble or get called for holding? Then you are scrambling to get the TD. You take the points when you can and hope you can get the 2 point conversion but if not you have to hope the defense can hold. [/quote] Doesn't matter. At least the game is in the hands of the ...

[quote]Even without hindsight I wished Smith would have given himself up at the one. I've just seen this play out too many times. Most will say you don't take points off the board but I trust Drew from the one with 3 tries to punch it in much more than I trust our defense to make a stop there. I don...

[quote]So Trequan goes down at the 1 and then we fumble the next play. Have to score there[/quote] Or we bleed the clock and then Brees gets a TD and we win the game. See how it can go either way. Either way, do you trust the offense or the defense at the end of the game? I know which side I t...

[quote]Here’s the thing. The book doesn’t know we stalled out inside the 5 a bunch and missed a two point conversation and a 4th and short. When you can score you score.[/quote] The question you have to answer honestly is this. Which scenario do you trust more: Behind in the game, our offen...

[quote]So on 1st & 2nd and Goal at the 1 we should lose 3 yards each play & then try to score on 3rd/4th & goal from the 7/8 yard line?[/quote] No you just run to the 2 and then kneel down. Do that for 2 plays and bleed the clock. Then you have 2 chances to win the game and leave SF no time to do...
