Message: [QUOTE="Culhwch, post: 2545776, member: 1983"] Well for a start, three minutes is an eternity in the NFL. The Saints still had all three timeouts and the two minute warning. The Niners may have gotten a field goal, but given the way the Saints defense was playing on the fourth quarter, that might be wishful thinking. Let's not forget that Kaepernick had his own chance to win it or at least force overtime and couldn't manage even a single first down. But, okay, the Niners get a field goal, get up by six. They still likely leave time for Brees and Payton, to have another shot, and now they're playing for the TD, not a field goal - although to be fair when they were only playing for the field goal Brees still was slinging it, including a gorgeous twenty yard strike to Colston. But I'm sure as you say the vaunted Niners defense that had only given up almost 400 yards on the day would have held.... But in the end this is all hypothetical because the correct call was made and the Saints finished a game the Niners couldn't. [/QUOTE]
