89 yards rushing and a TD at the half for the Niners. Good to see him getting lots of PT today. Also, Blough looks to be the Lions starting QB for possibly a few more games - depending upon Stafford's health, maybe the rest of the season.

It's too badd Drew Brees has a sorry defense That game Most likely knocked saints from going to the super bowl.
Not helping my fantasy situation though!

Sean Payton blew that game. The Saints got the ball with about 5 minutes to go in the half up 27-20. Payton took the ball out of Brees' hand when Brees was having a phenomenal game. Hill was QB for two plays with Brees on the sidelines and the one play Drew was in he handed off. The Saints went three and out, had to punt for the first time, and the 49ers scored. Payton also went for two-point conversions twice and failed each time. The Saints ended up loosing by two.
Yeah I know I watched It I was pissed. I have a $1000 Bet with somebody that Saints win the Super Bowl this year. He most likely cost me a $1,000Sean Payton blew that game.

I don't mind a fake punt but at least give yourself a chance at making a play.They didn't lose the Super Bowl because of this game. Remember this is a team that won in Seattle with Teddy Bridgewater.
The play I didn't get was the fake punt.

It made no sense passing to the gunner. The gunner was going to be covered, plus there is no pass interference on a punt play engaging the punter. Did Peyton not know the rule?
I believe that he was looking for a defensive holding penalty(not interference) which certainly could(should?) have been called.
Probably, but they were both holding. Plus on a fake punt you are looking to surprise and no one is going to not watch/engage the gunner.
Not saying it was a good play call by the Saints. Just that the coach wasn't looking for a PI call. The announcers went down that(PI) road as well, all while the coaches were asking for the holding call.
The defense has been inconsistent though, and, it was almost non-existent on Sunday unfortunately. That said, the Saints blew several opportunities...made some VERY questionable decisions (as covered in a post above regarding a key series and the going for 2 early that ended up biting them, then, scoring "too soon" on their own last drive), and, really had themselves to blame (well, and some horrible calls yet again that did not go their way).The defense has actually been pretty good this year.
Also, having to maybe go to SF for a playoff game isn’t that bad of a deal for the saints. Not like having to win in Chicago or GB
May just be me, but, I am of the opinion that with some of the calls that have been against them, and, others (like that particular one) that were not called for them, that the league is not looking to do anything to help the Saints cause.Not saying it was a good play call by the Saints.

They have won a single road game in their playoff history, so, while SF is a better place to go and play than Green Bay or Chicago, it does not bode well still...that is why they really needed to win on Sunday.
Disappointing for Brees in that he was robbed of an opportunity a year ago to play in another Super Bowl, and, may miss out again this year.

If I were a coach I would never, ever, go for two before the fourth quarter.
The one that really gets me is how often they go for two after a second TD when they had missed the kick on the first TD. But If they had gotten those first six points from two field goals they always kick the extra point. Classic Prospect Theory.
