Should Graham have laid down on the 5 on the Saints last TD?
 

Would have Allowed the Saints to burn more time leaving the Niners with nothing to work with. Thoughts?


Graham scored with 1:37 left.

LOL no.

Absolutely not. Anytime you have a chance to score a TD, you take it.

Same for alex smith he should of went down at the 5 .

Especially when you are down 5 points with just over a minute left.

I posted in the game thread that they scored too soon. No NFL player is ever going to lay down in that situation, but if they had, they would probably have won.

AND it took a team until what, week 17 to score a rushing TD against them?

Oh, the Saints would just pass.

OK, put the ball in the air when Graham could have trotted in a minute earlier.

I've only seen it once.

No ****ing way

At the 5, no.

Maybe at the 1.

Probably, but Alex Smith could have done the same thing on the drive before that.

I remember Bryant Westbrook (I think) did it in an Eagles game a few years back.

They weren't losing in that game, were they?

It's sort of like a team pinned at their goal line deliberately taking a safety late in a game. The 2 points don't matter, are better than risking a fumble/block in the endzone, and the distance gained by the free kick all but guarantees victory. I've only seen that once, too. But it was a smart play.

MJD did once.
