Officiating

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; How can these guys be the best in the business? They're just horrible. I think the college refs are better than the NFL's. I'm waiting for some NFL player that doesn't give a crap, to tell the world that he's ...

How can these guys be the best in the business? They're just horrible. I think the college refs are better than the NFL's. I'm waiting for some NFL player that doesn't give a crap, to tell the world that he's going to try and knock the QB the heck out. Since he's going to be flagged anyway, he might as well make it count. LOL.

I agree the officiating was horrible. I'm hard of hearing so I can read lips and but Coach Peyton was going off on that ref and for good reason LOL. I figured for all the BS plays we got they should give us the Sproles out of bounds ~ LOL

Not only the calls, but it seemed like there were also screwy things happening with the game/play clock, especially earlier in the game. They kept mysteriously stopping the play clock when the Bears had the ball, they'd start it counting down, then pause it for just a few seconds, then turning it on again, giving the Bears a few more seconds here and there, to help them get a play in and to quiet down the crowd. Then when the Saints had the ball, the clock was starting the instant the whistle blew, and running continuously, like it's supposed to. I think the officiating crew did not have their act together, especially early in the game.

But I look at it like this: if it weren't for the benefit of dubious officiating, the Bears would not have gotten that touchdown in the first quarter. It was really their only impressive offensive drive of the day, and it was loaded with gimmes and extra clock stoppages, gift-wrapped first downs and all sorts of chances for "do overs." Other than that drive where they had the refs' help, you are looking at 30-6 or even worse for the Bears.

Nope. Need to correct that. All teams complain about the refs, only loosing teams blame it on the refs.

How do some of these guys get jobs as Refs.. Good thing they are not air traffic controllers... What a mess that would be!!!!! Cause they sure seem to be blind at times...

Hey, I noticed that about the clock, too! Pointed it out to the hubby, as we were behind the Bear's bench on the 35 yard line...I had a really good view of it! I was worried that the Forty Whiners of old were reincarnated into Bears uniforms, and here we go again! (All that mafia stuff).
