As Saints fans we are used to getting bad/non calls made against us.

But the officials last night raised the bar.

Offensive pass interference is rarely called in any game. Offiicials finally called it against the Falcants, but miraculously a defensive penalty is also called against the Saints.

I quit counting all the times I saw the Falcants holding when a Saints defender was getting close to Ryan.

The ghost 15 yd penalty roughing the passer when a defender "supposedly" hit Ryan's face mask.

And the one that pissed me off to the heights if pisstivity was when the Saints were driving and had the bird droppings on their heels and the officials suddenly decide they need to measure and make sure the Saints had a first down. It gave Atlanta a breather and I think on the next play Brees threw the pick 6.

They don't call defensive pass interference when the defender never looks back for the ball.

A defender grabs Bush's helmet and throws him down.

I know the Saints won the game despite the officials, (and themselves), but when the officials call penalties 8-92 vs 1-10, (you get 3 guesses and the 1st 2 don't count), as to which figure belongs to which team.

The Saints would probably score in triple digits if the Saints got an evenly called game!
