    Graham again prob, if they were down close Sproles on a quick out pass would be a good bet!

    The Saints can count themselves lucky they are still in this game after 4 turnovers (although that last one isn't too different to a punt as it was 3rd down for the Saints)

    Who's getting the ball to start the second?? missed the start of the first so..

    very nice INT there for the 49ers and unlucky to be marked down by contact there... still a good drive here and a score before the half is needed for the 49ers to maintain control of this one coming into the 2nd half

    Much better than a punt! Give the D so much more confidence!

    You're right the 49ers D will be full of confidence, but it still left the niners 70 yards away form the endzone.

    This drive will tell about the confidence of the Saints, will they run out the clock or try to score?

    The best thing for the 49'ers now is the half time whistle. They need to get back in the dressing room, get settled down and come out in the second half like they did the first.

    Why didn't NO go for field goal there?

    ...just with the half they had just had, 4 turnovers, starting at your own 20 with the 49ers flying about, I imagine they will be happy to get back to the locker room only down by 3. As it turns out, they didn't show much ambition beyond that 1st down pass attempt.

    49ers shot themselves in the foot with the Smith fumble and will delighted the Saints didn't get a PI call or the required yards to attempt a game-tying FG.

    Cause it would been around 60 yards....not worth risking the return for a TD off the miss!!

    4 turnovers and only a 3 point lead. It's a testament to how well Brees has played ;)

    I'd be worried though that NO have woken up, and the 49ers offense has been bad on the last few drives...they need to step up!

    Not at all, after the initial balls up, he has shaken it off and shown real quality.

    With all the turnovers by him and his offense, it's a testament to the D that they have kept the 49ers from scoring more!
