Re: New here... a few thoughts on the brees hit

It was not the LAST series of the game. Even after the penalty the niners could have stopped the saints, they didn't, they had the ball with 2min left, kap could've moved them down field and kicked a game winner, they didn't, again on the next series they could've stopped the saints again and possibly went to OT they didn't. My theory is that this is a smokescreen to take away from their offensive struggles and inability to stop the saints so they blame it on one play. I f they lose to the redskins next week the hit will seem like it happened last year and now one will even remember it.
You make some good points ... the Whiners were up 20-17 at that point and the fumble recovery after the hit would have hypothetically put the proverbial nail-in-the-coffin with 3:12 left. Giving the ball back to an explosive offense like the Saints is what frustrates the Whiners most, because everyone on the planet knew NO was gonna' win that game/score with the ball back ... hehehehe,  .
