To be a champion, you have to be able to win games you shouldn't have won. That's what they did today. It was over when Vernon Davis dropped what should have been a 20 yard catch on the first play of overtime. When that happened, they gave up.
It should be noted, once Lattimore went out, Cousins picked primarily on Williams and Harris, who were our starting CBs in the two opening losses. If there's any doubt Harris doesn't belong in the league, go back to the Ryan Grant's TD catch (where he was so open, he literally skipped the last 5 yards into the end zone). Saints blitzed 8...my grandmother knows that when you blitz 8, the remaining 3 are in man coverage. But Harris, who was inside, let Grant run by him to go after the second receiver, who ran a quick out right into Williams' lap. Complete lack of field awareness.
Good call. Besides the wet 40 degree temp the effort just the same. All we needed was the camera man to find the unknown Whodat in the crowd.
