Brees, Thomas, and the ST coughed up 5 turnovers. And only lost by 4. Not a banner day for alex

Anyone with half a brain knows that this has no relevance. Why? I'll point it out...
Regardless of what happened prior... this is where the game was...
start of the 4th quarter...
The score is 20-14 SF lead
Saints drive and kick a FG... 20-17
SF drive fails... NOLA drive fails...
SF drives for a FG... up 23-17
NOLA drives for a 3 min. TD... they take the lead 24-23
4 minutes left in game..
SF then drives for a TD to take back the lead... 4 passes/2 runs.. 29-24 SF lead
2 minutes left in the game...
NOLA scores another TD in 34 seconds... takes lead back 32-29
now there's 1:37 left in the game..
SF drives quickly and with all passes.. gets into easy FG range to tie the game...
Safe and timid Alex Smith... who allegedly doesn't throw into tight coverage... doesn't settle for something safe with eyes on that FG tie... no.. he zips a bullet into VD's chest in the EZ with
9 seconds left... SF wins!
Everything in the game that happened prior... does lead up to the final outcome... but that 4th quarter? The score was close.. and both QBs were moving their team and taking the lead back. One of them got the last laugh.... and oh, was it sweet!
