What about "Dumb teams" is this a new category.

A dumb coach would know best....

Re: Observations from the Saints' Loss to the Titans

I'm not too bummed by this loss. They hung in till the very end even while tripping over their own feet all day. Siemein is a lot better than what Iexpected too see from a 3rd stringer.

Re: Observations from the Saints' Loss to the Titans

I know it’s beating a dead horse, but has anyone seen or heard an official or league response to the roughing the passer call? Any comment from the ref or statement from the league? Just curious.

Re: Observations from the Saints' Loss to the Titans

They're not going to address it. Why would they? There were probably 30 game changing penalties across called across the League yesterday.

In the NBA all flagrant fouls are reviewed to determine body positionings, force, intent and impact point. In college they review the targeting calls. So it's wrong to expect NFL refs to be able to determine these variables at full speed. It's obvious that in NFL that all personal fouls should be reviewable. It won't correct every gaffe, but should allow them to get 80+% of the blown calls fixed. Could it make some games a bit longer? Yes, but better that than have the credibility of the sport in constant jeopardy.

Probably not. I believe the league did say something about mistakes made during the Chicago/Pitt game. Interested to see if they do here.

If these guys running the league are just now considering the idea of standardizing camera angles for review then they are incompetent fools who don’t know how to maintain the “integrity” of the game in the first place. They are three moves too late.

They don’t give a damn about the integrity of the game, all they care about is making rules that allow as many subjective penalties as they can. Refs can flag for taunting basically any time they choose and there’s no real way to measure the accuracy of the call. The NFL has become a freaking joke. I’ll watch my Saints but I am not nearly as emotionally invested in it as I have been in years past and I’m much happier for it. Sunday was the first game I’ve missed in years. I spent the day with my daughter and had a great time. I was a little bummed when I checked the score and saw we had made a comeback but later when I heard about the call on Ellis it I said **** it. I still haven’t watched the recording and I don’t plan on it.
