THAT "BLINDSIDE BLOCK" CALL THOUGH

Sinner · 12-03-2021, 02:48 PM

There is so much WRONG to talk about with the Team right now, but in terms of ENERGY or momentum, a call like that turns everything around. A bunch of patchwork B Players can start having fun and shock the favored Team once the ball starts rolling, but a call like that one, throws a monkey wrench into the gears real quick.

How can something so blatantly obvious be allowed to stand, without even an instant review? And where does the call to make that call come from?

Curious...

I understand that mistakes get made. What I find inexcusable is that the officials as a team don't discuss the call. Have a huddle and a "what did you see?" discussion. A flag like that should be picked up unless they are quite certain it was legitimate. The other refs needed to step in.

I mean, THAT one was so obviously wrong, they could have just watched the replay up on the big screen.

Thats the problem I see in alot of NFL games is they quickly make the call, no discussion, and move on.

Their was also a false start penalty on the Saints I think was bogus because the Cowboys linemen was moving all around prior.

But this kind of thing is expected with the condition of this team is in right now. Winning teams is going to continue to get favorable calls, its been expected.

Also the NFL has learned to when call penalties or not call penalties on teams like the Saints where Peyton has coached into them momentum and turning points of a game.

Also we were playing " Americas Team" we should all be used to this by now. Most times when there's red linen on the field I just assume it's against us.

But this from Vrillon:

Case in point the Blindside Block not to mention that breakout run from Ingram getting called back. Momentum Killers always on queue.

Just when you thought the ridiculous call (roughing) on Ellis vs Titans call was bad ... we get this one on last night. It's hard to win a game and the refs.

Sucks for us but a bad call like this is going to hurt a team in the postseason.

An atrocious call & SP never received a clear explanation from the officials ... because it was bogus.

It was definitely a bad call and definitely a game changer. I was wondering if the non-call roughing the passer on the int where Prescott was hit in the head was a make up for that play in a way.

Roger called NY control and said “It’s time screwum when you can and then deny them any explanation” Sh*t happens baby.

"The League" wanted to slow down our momentum. Folks we were not expected to have a chance and "The League" does not want Washington (formerly the Redskins) anywhere near anything meaningful.

Dallas had to win that game. One thing is for sure - nobody has a better explanation because at this point nobody has ANY explanation.

Saintfan smells a rat...
