The hit and fumble was the game changer. We probably would've had to settle for 3 but it would have kept the crowd out of it a little bit driving on their d like that.

Losing PT was HUGE on so many levels. When Ivory is in it's usually a run, when Sproles is in it's usually a pass. PT is the guy who keeps defenses off guard. We became very predictable on offense. PT can run, catch, and pass block. When he got knocked out we lost our most versatile RB.
Plus when PT went out they put Roby back on kickoffs to save Sproles knowing they would need him more on offense. Roby promptly fumbled a kickoff that would of been fielded by Sproles had PT been in the game |

Nah, that hit wasn't legal. San Fran is a big market team, so the league has a financial interest in them doing well, so for that reason, I wouldn't be surprised if Gooddell says no fine. But the fine won't even matter. We needed the freakin' automatic 1st down!
New rule: Illegal hits in the post season that would result in a suspension in the regular season, you lose a 3rd round pick to the opposing team! |

PT was out like a light after that hit. Losing him seriously hurt our offense. Even with that, the 10 points off of turnovers was the downfall.

Did he have a concussion?
What about the 49'ers. It was ugly. Nasty. Low . Cheap shot. If Saints had done that, I would not have changed my opinion of it either. Legal or not, cheap. The 49'er who did this, seems he should have had a concussion too. Concussions are not funny. |
