I thought Sproles might have been able to go back inside on that return, but it's OK to let Brees operate from there

[Stardust]

We're seeing another typical performance by #Saints D. Gave up one bad big play. But they've also made two big momentum-changing stops now

[Stardust]

Don't try for heroics, just protect the ball and move it efficiently, no need to worry

[Stardust]

The ball just hit the turf during commercial. Refs trying to give it to SF

[Stardust]

: it would be a HUGE loss to sf if goodwin could not return. makes the line calls, familiar with saints'

[Stardust]

Momentum has shifted, 9ers got lucky now that streak is done and it's our turn!

[Stardust]

Huge injury, center Jonathan Goodwin looks woozy and needed help getting to the sidelines. Might see Adam Snyder go to center and Chilo Rachal to come in at guard.

[Stardust]

Good throw. Drew Brees

[Stardust]

Jimmy Graham back in the game for the Saints. He banged his head pretty hard on the turf after that TD

[Stardust]

Brees is getting cranked up. The 49ers had been taking the tight ends and RB's. Now Brees is hitting receivers

[Stardust]

Crowd progressively quieter with each 1st down

[Stardust]

Ricky Jean Francois in the game for McDonald now

[Stardust]

Dashon Goidston looks like he's limping slightly.

[Stardust]

Sproles drops another pass. 49ers LB's are going to haunt his dreams tonight.

[Stardust]

td pass to colston, #49ers up 17-14 with 4:09 in half, pending xp

[Stardust]

Instant analysis: Drew Brees good.

[Stardust]

Saints are right back in the game, now with the momentum, trailing just 17-14 to #49ers.

[Stardust]

49ers get to their own 45 with 30 seconds left in the half. Should try to score?

[Stardust]

The Saints will score at least 35 points and how the 49ers to 3 points in the second half

[Stardust]

Fumble!!

[Stardust]

saints force smith to fumble with 0:17 left. will have ball at 45

[Stardust]

That was the #49ers first turnover since Thanksgiving (23-plus quarters)

[Stardust]

take a shot!...plenty of time for a big play and field goal

[Stardust]

at least we go to the half with more than field goals. now it will be the first team to break in 2nd half.

[Stardust]

not enough time ..12 seconds to get ten yards and spike??

[Stardust]

Jean Francois getting pressure against former Cal player Brian de

[Stardust]

What they did only left 4 seconds NYwhodat. What you're suggesting would have used all the time

[Stardust]

Wow. With three rushers??

[Stardust]

The Saints have WON this half. SF gets 4 turnovers and only leads by 3. That's a win.

[Stardust]

What a 1st half
