So... it's all because of the refs. LOL

Tell your friend he is a deluded moron. Like I said, we can all learn from Jabba the belly.

I can really only think of two calls a Colts fan might question.

1) the 2 pt conversion ruling, which in the end did not win the game and was correctly reversed.
2) the offensive PI on 3rd and goal. Even if that had went the other way, the Colts might score with 40 seconds left and still trailing. Our D was giving up some real estate in the end, but SLOWLY. Don't see the game changing even if the Colts recovered an onside kick that everyone would know is coming.

Refs played little part in this game IMHO. What were there, 6 or so total penalties in the game?

It was a well played game by both teams that really boiled down to the turnover margin (Superbowl winner now 32-3 when winning the TO ratio) and a great stop by our defense in the red zone at the end of the game.

If those two are the only two then I call BS, because both were called correctly, and that's no homerism.

1) Lance bobbled and then 'controlled' the ball, over the line and no question IN the end zone. That's 2 points. The Colts player kicked the ball out of his hands after the fact. The BAD CALL was that we had to challenge it to begin with, because the REF is standing 2 feet from the play and blew the call.
2) Minus the offensive PI, that's an INT, because our player was pushed from behind, forcing him to place his foot OB to stay in position. The Refs were right on it.

I saw it worse than that. The Colts pulled the arm making a catch practically impossible - palpably unfair act. If ever a rule needs to change, that was it. Clear INT but offensive PI. Penalty has to be more than 10 yards repeat down. For a start, loss of down. Perhaps 15 yard penalty as well, not 10

Some people are such sooooore losers! LOL....if anybody paid off the refs, it sure was not us! I liked the fact that the refs pretty much let them play the game last night, and didn't call a bunch of piddley little penalties on either team unless it was a flagrant foul. All in all, the refs did a good job!

Choupique · 02-08-2010, 01:49 PM

It was all vodou spells. I been telling ya'll that for the last week.

I find it ironic that anyone says the Saints have the refs on their side.
Give me a freakin break.

What this Super Bowl is, if anything, is payback for decades of chitty calls AGAINST us.

I would suggest midol or tampons to those whiner idiots. Sorry, I'm too blunt sometimes, I admit.

I agree. I'm just pointing out the only two calls that were even remotely close.

I think the refs called a very fair game and were a non-factor in the outcome of the game.

Jabba · 02-08-2010, 08:36 PM

I don't think the 2 pt conversion changed the game... but i thought that the receiver had to control a catch out of bounds or even AFTER crossing the goal line. I thought that was wrong... but I am no expert.
