Huge turnover to put a halt to Brees run. NIners needed that.
Have been very disappointed with Steve Young and Jerry Rice for the 49ers thus far. Both have been anonymous
Great half of football. 
+1. Top class.
Energy sapping to watch that half, I’m beginning to flag already, hopefully I get my second wind in time to see me through the late game.
Best game I’ve seen this season so far. You just know something big is just around the corner every time the Saints have the ball, be it a big play or a turnover.
Only team to blow 17+ point lead at home in the playoffs is… [b]49ers[/b], twice (1957, 1972)
In SuperBowl era, teams w/ 4+ turnovers in postseason games 21-133. Last to win was Titans (4) vs Steelers, 2002 Divisional
Christ another turnover.
5 of them and it’s early in the third quarter.
what’s with all the dancing and shit before the kick off?
I’d say the Saints could be in line to set some kind of record for negative turnover differential in a winning cause here. They’re starting to get on top on both sides of the ball, and I still think they’ll win. They really have to stop turning the ball over though!
I expect them to win too but the last two possessions weren’t great and they seem to be nearly just waiting for the comeback to happen.
no worries Bandage. its a good watch in fairness. as I say, hard to dislike him. works hard, and does all the right things. but I hope he loses tonight!
tough game here. had a power nap and got thru the first half on sky plus to get it back to live viewing. some turnovers by the saints. only 3 down. if they didnt fumble/get picked they would be out of sight now. Niners relying on defence to get them this win, not sure if they can sustain it for the rest of the quarter. tough hits and on the field a lot, at least they had the bye week, so shouldnt be that tired, but it could be a factor yet.
any of ye cunts that use twitter, keep on abusing your idols, you never know, it could pay off yet!
Ochocinco is some man in fairness to him.
Say what you want about Chad Ochocinco, but the man is an original. Sure, he’s been close to invisible this season in New England’s offense, but that’s not how he’ll be remembered, at least not by one young fan.

College student Victor Gonzalez, one of Ocho’s 3 million-plus followers on Twitter, has spent the past two years trying to elicit a response from the receiver online. Mired in a one-sided relationship for the ages, Gonzalez hit his breaking point last Sunday, according to FOXSports.com.
“Been tweeting you for two years and have not ever gotten a response,” Gonzalez wrote.
And then it happened. Ocho wrote back.
“Damn 2 years? My bad. Want to come to the game saturday?”
It took the less-famous of the two very little time to respond and skillfully turn the table: “I would love to but i live in FLA. can you fly me out?”
Not a problem for Ochocinco, who promised to transport Gonzalez from his home in Fort White, Fla., up north in time for Saturday night’s Patriots-Broncos divisional playoff game.
“Bundle up young Jedi for it is cold here,” Ocho tweeted Friday.
Gonzalez touched down safely in New England. Now they have entered into that blissful first stage of new friendship, where all the world is a carnival, with Ochocinco taking Gonzalez to Red Robin for dinner Friday, followed by a trip to pick up endless amounts of Patriots gear Saturday, before the kickoff at Gillette Stadium.
The lesson here: If you’re in a one-sided relationship, especially with a celebrity who tends to ignore your advances, keep pushing.

Thats class :lol:
Never seen Brees & Saints O be dominated by a Defense like this
More great defence and now 49ers get the run going. Saints in big trouble.
Crucial for the Saints to limit them to a FG obviously and keep it a one score game.
Akers still doing the salute to Pat Lampard that pissed me off when he was with the Eagles.
Huge stop on third down there, anything could have happened after the pass was blocked though. Big moment now - can they find a way to get the better of the San Fran D line? This is fascinating stuff. Really high quality battle when the Saints have the ball.
Now here’s a huge third down play for the Saints.
