Refs?

Did anyone else get the impression that the refs really didn't call a very tight game on Thursday? I feel like I saw a lot of holding and a variety of this kind of infraction without any flags hitting the turf. Just wonderin'?

IMO the refs did an OK job Thursday night, it's the Saints who made bad calls and bad plays.

I saw a couple of holds they let go on a couple of occasions but didn't see it a one sided thing.

I didn't think it was particularly one sided, I just thought they were letting a lot go... especially for an early game, let alone the season openner. Maybe I was wrong.

No there were plenty of calls in which they let slide. At least they were consistent.

Agreed that the consistency was good - and that is paramount.

There was A LOT of holding that was not called. And even though it wasn't one-sided, they did still call it sometimes and not others. I think they were pretty inconsistent with it.

However in a 41-10 loss, I don't think it would have saved us even if they were consistent.

I didn't complain about the refs at all duiring the game. They were fair on both sides. I saw Brown with a couple of holds as well as the Colts LT. What I didn't like was the no call when Freeny got his hand to Brees' Head and slammed down on him, but no harm no foul I guess.
