This isn't fantasy football.

And as for the time holding the ball on the six sacks ... watch the video of all six sacks.

Sack 1: 4 sec
Sack 2: 4 sec
Sack 3: 4 sec
Sack 4: 6 sec
Sack 5: 3 sec
Sack 6: 3 sec

Every sack by the Falcons on Drew Brees | Week 10 - YouTube

Only ONE of those sacks came in over FOUR seconds. That 4th sack came on the sixth second and was with eight players in coverage.

How is trying to force dumb throws to your best players when a win is mathematically impossible asinine? What does that achieve other than injury or loosing the respect of your team mates? Even if they score the clock runs out.
There is a difference between competitiveness and ego. Payton and Brees showed the latter.

Where are you getting this losing the respect of your teammates crap? If any player was ready to quit regardless of the score then they don't deserve to be on the roster. I would expect that every player respected the fact that Payton and Brees refused to quit. And as I pointed out earlier a fact to which you ignored, two of the playoff seeding tiebreakers are total points scored and total number of touchdowns scored. Every scoring opportunity is important.
