The refs are killing us. Geez. I understand the first two fumbles, but the missed holding calls, plus their complete ignorance in calling that a fumble on Lewis is pretty freakin blatant. The Bears are getting away with alot. If that's just "homefield advantage", then we may as well just give them the game now.

Offensive pass interference..... This is freakin' pathetic... I'm getting ready to go back to bed.

That offensive pass interference call was BAD

No illegal stuff, and inside 5 yards of scrimmage. That was BAD

We didn't play well enough to win. Refs or not. I hate using the refs as a scapegoat.

Had we had some calls go our way we still fumbled way too much.

4 lost turn overs
Chicago with one meaningless penalty
a safety
a missed field goal

We didn't play well enough to win.

thats right biss
but i have to say the penility on smith on that punt return was crap. that was big

SaintPauly · 01-21-2007, 07:20 PM

What penalty against the Bears?? I didn't see one the whole game. At least, not one that was called. You can't get stuck in a 16 point hole in the first 22 minutes of the 1st half, and NOT expect the team to lose momentum. Did we play well, hell no, but everytime we made a big play, a ticky tack call was made, to bring it back. The "block in the back", on the Lewis return, also BS! No offense to anyone here, but I am TIRED of people saying, don't use the refs as scapegoats. That is also BS. I saw, count em, two missed face mask calls against he bears, and at least 4 blatant holding calls. Is this the reason we lost, probably not. Did it help us lose? You damn right it did.

The Bears relied on luck, and weather to win this game. That luck is going to run out in Miami, when they don't have snow on their side. We lost this game, they did not win it. Don't believe me.... What were Grossman's numbers again?

Yo, i thought that it was a a ridiculous called game, but with that being said, we just didn't get it done today. We just didn't make the plays early when we needed to, we dropped passes, fumbled, and missed passing opportunities in crucial opportunities, and we didn't run DEUCE enough! Maybe Coach Payton out coach himself, i don't know, but they should've ran DEUCE a lil bit more, i don't know, but i think DEUCE got hurt early in the game,i don't know, but maybe? Can anyone help me out on this?

FlexDefense · 01-21-2007, 08:06 PM

The Saints couldn't get a tempo going in the first half, and the boneheaded ref calls didn't help matters. The Lewis fumble was entirely bogus. He had control of that ball when he hit the ground.

Bise · 01-21-2007, 09:42 PM

There was one 5 yard penalty on the bears late in the fourth quarter..... I think it was false start.

meaningless.

The bears out played us.

The *only* part that I thought was fun about this game was watching Reggie run away from 4 bears players on that long pass. Noone could catch him.... that was sweet but it was short lived
