Joe Montanna and the 9ers turned the ball over 5 times in the infamous "the catch" game and they still won and now Joe Montanna is a hall of famer.

I don't see it as ignorant...........I see it as a different point of view. Which is one of the things that makes this such a good forum. That and we don't call people names.

The over-aggressive strategy was to compensate for obvious deficiencies elsewhere!

I still think Williams saw the writing on the wall and did that on purpose.

The timing on that was really freaking weird and disturbing. I mean come on. Rumors about Gregg Williams going to St. Louis all during the week before. Saturday evening, Saints lose in a sudden and spectacular defensive collapse for the ages, twice in three minutes. Sunday morning, articles on ESPN announcing Williams was hired in St. Louis, less than 12 hours after the Saturday game in SF had ended?

No... For one he wasn't fired. His contract wasn't renewed because he had a job in for the ram. Even though they didn't offer to renew his contract he had an out and could of saved face. Not to mention why wouldn't he want to leave with a 2nd super bowl win
