Refs never gave a jersey number on that one.

All three of these posts encapsulates the officiating yesterday...

The only other thing I had a problem with was our interior defensive linemen were both chop-blocked, tackled even, and there was little to no holding called...

Not sure the Bucs rallied in the third quarter if even one flag was thrown for holding...

Yeah. Since it was originally called a Saints recovery it would have had to have been clear and obvious that the Bucs had recovered for it to have been overturned.

Seriously I have never seen a pile up where one of the two teams didn’t come up with the ball. I’ve seen them give it to the wrong team but not just straight up nullify the fumble.

When is the last time you have seen a player ejected for helmet to helmet? As big a deal as they make about the helmet rule I have seen it happen over and over without being called. When they do call it you get a penalty and fine at most. I made a comment on here a couple of weeks back that a player who hit one of our guys helmet to helmet should have been ejected. Several people said it never happens. That particular hit was way worse than the one today.

None of these changed the outcome, we still would have won but Tampa kind of got screwed. We think the league hates us (they do) we always get screwed with scheduling too. Tampa has 7 SEVEN road games in a row one of which is in London. Maybe we got kicked up the ladder on the leagues “Teams we want to butt ream” list.

When you play a team the NFL doesn't care about, you will get make up calls.

All I want at this point is the Onion to do a story on:

"NFL Finally Does It! Refs Call Perfect Game".

Watched the game again and the commentators said they thought it was on #23
