Re: Saints fans launch petition asking team to fire Dennis Allen
When the score goes from 16-3 to 17-16 with 3 seconds left on the clock, it is clear that a poorly coached team handed the thin razor to Tom Brady. We have reason to grieve.

And if you don’t realize the refs allowed several holding calls go you don’t know jack sh*t about football.

The difference between holding and not holding on the line is whether the hands slip to the outside of the pads where the Ref can see them. If the hands don’t slip that O-Lineman is still holding that defender by his pads most of the time because he knows if he can just slow him by a fraction of a second the QB may get the pass off or the RB may squeak by. A successful play is based on fractions of a second but close wins and losses are because both teams played with heart or sh1t the bed. |

Do you visit many boards for other teams? You should try it, especially after that team loses. The consensus across the league is that the Referees are screwing everyone. To me that’s a level playing field. ![]() |
