Saints vs. 49ers Halftime Score: 49ers Maintain Lead, 21-10

It's halftime, bitches! Do what you have to do then get back here to chat up the first half results and discuss the 3rd quarter of the Saints-49ers game as it unfolds.

Stretch your legs before the 3rd Q starts - it's halftime!!

The teams have traded TDs in the 2nd quarter, but unacceptable drops and despicable game management by the Saints after a late turnover kept the team from scoring/sustaining drives and has kept the margin at 11 points. Some signs of life have appeared in the Saints, but so have the same old bugaboos.

If they don't do better, this game is over, and with the 49ers getting the second half kickoff, the time is now!
