Had Lutz missed your giving the Bears 1:30 to go about 40 yds.

Luckily we have a good kicker so it didn't matter.

Okay, don't trust Kamara enough to punch it in or even hang on to the ball?

Fine, then have Brees take a knee a couple of times, leave less than 0:20 on the clock in the event of a mishap - like the one earlier in the game...

Some are trying to give Payton credit for thinking ahead, building confidence in players - Don't...

The sampling is there in the last few tight games and in the tournament where Sean fumbles mentally in the crucial moments, under pressure...

Each kneel down backs the ball up two yards. Just saying. Why make the kick intentionally longer?
