RE: THE REFS JOBED US AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!
 

Come on guys, don't start covering up the teams mistakes with the Ref's made us do it. They returned 1 fumble and 1 blocked field goal for a TD. Even if we give ourselves the Hakim TD, we still lose by 7. Where's the logic.

RE: THE REFS JOBED US AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!
 

The blocked kick was illegal. The refs never threw a flag, but it was blatant. They showed the play over and over. Even the commentators admitted that a flag should have been thrown. The rule states that you can not put your hands on another player's back as leverage and he did.

Since they missed that call, they probably started watching the line more closely during the kicks. They caught a Saints player holding and it wasn't even near the play, but they called it anyways.

Do I think the refs strategically stole the game away from the Saints on purpose? No. However, I do believe poor officiating was a reason that the Saints fell short on this one.

I feel like such an SEC football fan for posting this, but it does seem appropriate after today.

Also, there is holding on nearly every play in the NFL. It is up to the officials to decide if the holds change the result of the play.

Did yall see the same game as I did??? That Guy LEAPED over the lineman... the lineman just sat there in a 3 point stance and the Falcon just jumped right over him.

Your right, if we don't allow the blocked punt, its another game. However, you know how the league is always defending the refs judgement with their "black/white" rules and how there is now "grey" area? On the blocked punt, a falcon had his hand on the saints players back to jump over and he was the guy that actually blocked it. Now they annoucners said they didn't call it because it looked like he had his hand there for support and not for leverage. Where's the " black/white" rules at? And that had a direct impact on the play and the call and the end of the game, had no impact on the play what-so-ever!

Yeah Lummox...finaly a voice of reason ...
WE WON THIS GAME STRAIGHT OUT(barring special teams)
Refs Phucked us.
Refs Phucked us.
Refs Phucked us.
I'll say it till I'm blue in the face........
The blocked field goal before half-time was a severe penalty..
ITS CALLED LEVERAGE!!!!!!!!!
They called it on Tampa a couple years age against Indy on monday night and turned that game around.....
think about it ...for once we recovered from bad play (turnovers) and actualy positioned ourselves to win the game......
I'm proud of my Saints.......Phuck the haters....

That last call was bull sh*t, if you watch any football games you will see most of the time player on the end will pull the ot, by no means did he pull the player so another player can block the kick, he pull so he could get by. What happen the ref seen the ball drifting to the right and threw the flag. I think it should be a investigation on these ref's. This game made me wonder if these nfl games are fixed and that ref determine who win or lose. This go back to the tuck rule.

Way to go Haslett!
 

Hasletts post game press conference was classic! He called the referees performance at the end of the game "CHICKEN ****" about 3 times. Probably a costly statement, but who cares. The Refs screwed us and people lose jobs over losses in this league. Somebody had to stand up and be honest about us getting poked in the ass and Haslett was that man.
We outgained the Falcons 450 yds to 250 yds.
They took away a TD to Hakim that directly led to that non call on the field goal. For those keeping score at home, that is a 14 pt swing. We absolutely destroyed the Falcons today. Anyone who watched that game knows we just beat their ass up and down the field all day long. To have these brain dead bastards ruin our season on a day when everyone else in our division got a win is inexcuseable in my book.
I would like to see this as a rallying cry to come back and start winning again, but you can only get beat by so many things in a season before you fold up. We have had three things decimate this team this season, actually four. Extra road game, Hurricane displacement, Injuries to key people, and Refs phucking us.
At the end of the day, I would still rather be a Saints fan than some douchebag Falcon fan.
You always learn more about yourself from how you come back from a loss than how you play after a win and if this week was any indication we at the very least have a team with heart.
