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.
