Greer and Drew Got Mugged
 

Did anyone else see the pushoff by Roddy White on the long pass?

How about the helmet to helmet on Drew? It made the hit on Manning look like a love tap. No penalty, but the DL that hit Drew will be fined.

Re: Greer and Drew Got Mugged
 

Yep and yep.

Re: Greer and Drew Got Mugged
 

Agree on both.

Blatant push off.

Re: Greer and Drew Got Mugged
 

Agreed. LOTS of non calls.

There looked like there was a hold on Turner's big run to the right that helped him get around the corner.

OL had his hand around our guy and was grabbing the back of his jersey.

Re: Greer and Drew Got Mugged
 

officials let both teams play

Re: Greer and Drew Got Mugged
 

There were bad calls through out the game for both teams ... refs suck every year so what you gonna do about it, Saints won so its all good

Re: Greer and Drew Got Mugged
 

i pretty much saw a hold on smith every play. they were destroying our players on the line (hold wise)...we won, i'm happy...but yea, bad refs.

Re: Greer and Drew Got Mugged
 

Damn ... see what an aggressive pass rush does, the only way they could stop it was to hold on every play. I turned to my fiance at one point and said, if they don't want to get called for holding then they better start grabbing for the inside of the shoulder pads cause they need to stop grabbing our ends buy their necks

Re: Greer and Drew Got Mugged
 

Yeah it was bad. Listening to Falcon fans talk about how one-sided it was for us is simply laughable. Sad we had to use a challenge on that dropped TD pass when the ref was standing right there staring right at it.

Re: Greer and Drew Got Mugged
 

You gotta be kidding me!:boohoo:

Apparently when forward momentum of a player is stopped, and he's sitting on the ground, and the refs don't blow a whistle, you can rip the ball out his hands and wave your hands that posession goes your way... and that was the rule in that game... IN FAVOR OF THE FALCONS!

Also, why can the Falcon's coaching staff walk 15 yards onto the field to LOBBY refs for calls etc.? Aren't their sideline rules?

Re: Greer and Drew Got Mugged
 

I remember Sean getting a sportsman like contact penalty during the Giants game for going onto the field to argue a call but there wasn't a flag when Mike Smith went out there to whine about something ... damn be consist ant you sorry refs, throw the flag (but it wasn't the only flag they swallowed)

Re: Greer and Drew Got Mugged
 

They could call holding on every play and pushing off by the reciever on almost every play. I prefer the non-calls.

Re: Greer and Drew Got Mugged
 

true but the helmet to helmet on brees was just BS..should have been called

Re: Greer and Drew Got Mugged
 

Yeah, but when a guy hits a 68 yard TD player on a top 5 CB in the league one on one, and the whole planet sees him push off - including Trey Wingo on NFL Live who said "how is that not offensive pass interference" - you need to throw the flag.

I'm not asking for every ticky tack call out there, but for God's sake, you called it on Devery for much less. Just be consistent if nothing else.

Re: Greer and Drew Got Mugged
 

Yeah there were bad calls both ways but the one that really bothers me is the missed called on White's second TD that we had to challege to get overturned. That's just pitiful with the official 4 feet away staring straight at the play and missed it.

Re: Greer and Drew Got Mugged
 

Geez- how about Mitchell's off-side? Bad call right off the start. Ton of bad spots as well

Overall bad job

Re: Greer and Drew Got Mugged
 

Agree

Re: Greer and Drew Got Mugged
 

Yeah, there's rules that keep coaches off the field, but the refs. were having a hard time seeing anything. Which explains why the coaches had to get right in front of the refs. to get their attention.

Re: Greer and Drew Got Mugged
 

The bell fumble was bs...his forward progress was stopped for like 3 seconds....he was sitting on the pile stuck...whistle should have been blown!!! I noticed a lot of falcons playing after the whistle as well...why was that not called...and when colston was being held be one leg...why no whistle or flag there or something!!!
