Again I ask... WTF was Roby doing waiting for the ball... Obviously no thought about weather or NOT he should take it out.

I also have a comment for Sean Payton... Your brilliant, I wouldn't trade you for any coach in the league..... Next year when you go up against a defense that is known for FORCING the most turnovers in the league... Make everyone on special teams and offense carry a ball all week... make the defense spend all week trying to get their balls... I mean in the shower, mall... everywhere.

We were NOT prepared for SF defense to come after the ball like that.

Other than that, we lost because of game play... wasn't the field, the wind, the 49rs.... If we had turn the ball over that many times against the Colts we would have lost... well maybe not the Colts.

You need to think outside the box on the Roby turn over. That one is directly related to PT going down. We couldn't risk Sproles getting injured on a KR so Roby came in rusty in a tense game.

...and fumbled TWICE in one reception. I'd have rather started inside the 5.

No thanks, not without a week worth of football catching and carrying.

Roby, being generally a good player and worthy Saint, has GOT to feel HORRIBLE today.

I am out side of the box but still on the planet.... Take the touch back... no need for ANYONE to run it out... Just as Sproles did each and every time.

I agree totally...after the first few turnovers there was no need to run out the kickoff...take the ball at the 20...protect the ball...as someone else pointed out, roby was only in there to assure no injury would befall sproles...but he should've taken the touchback

I'm surprised more posters don't understand this. If PT doesn't get hurt, Roby isn't back there.
