Why don't we create more turnovers in big games?

Is it because we hardly take chances and play within our base too much? I see teams whose defenses aren't even close to being as stout as ours create timely turnovers that swing momentum. Look at the saints in '09, or the patriots last night. Even the packers did it in 2010.

big games are played against good teams. good teams are good because they don't turn the ball over very much.

It's because Patrick Willis lacks passion, Aldon Smith is an alcoholic, Justin Smith is old and declining, we need a nose tackle, Donte Whitner sucks and Carlos Rogers created HIV/AIDs.

1. play calling sucks
2. coaches are bad
3. players are no good
4. Greg Roman is on the team

We were 2nd in the regular season in turn over margin with a +12

I think the bend but don't break mentality has actually hurt us. Yeah, our defense will take us far, but to win it all we need those game changing plays, whether or not we have to take more chances. Remember Harrison's pick 6 against Arizona? Had Arizona scored there instead of it going 100 yards the other way for 6, they'd be holding a sb trophy.
