I thought it was pretty fair. Plus we won the game. Let's face it guys, our team commits a lot of penalties.

Watch Smith getting held on virtually every snap on the replay tonight and then reassess whether or not you think it was called fairly.

1) You have to be (a) focused exclusively on Bushrod and (b) looking to nitpick to call him for the false start that wiped out our first go ahead touchdown.

2) Conversely, you have to be purposefully and specifically ignoring or otherwise simply refusing to call at least one holding call on Atlanta when they held on more or less every offensive snap they took.

Oh no. That game was not called fairly.

What time is the replay? Is it on the NFL Network? The "old man" told me he wished we recorded the game, but I rather record it on replay since there are virtually no interruptions.

I'm not saying the Saints don't commit penalties.

But damn,if the refs are only going to call one penalty on Atlanta, why bother?

tell you what i hated seeing. the vikings were robbed last night by replay. #18 clearly made a perfect endzone catch, got his feet in, but was robbed by super slo-mo which showed the ball wiggling several atoms the size of an amoeba's balls .0000003 of a half inch, which they said meant he didnt have control. He caught the damn thing, and ended up with it. In the back yard, thats a freakin catch. Replay did exactly the same thing to Eric martin in 1988. Proves my point that all replay is, besides a delay of game, is a 2nd chance for the refs to screw up.

this is a wacky opinion, and nobody will agree with me, but we lived for years without it, and did fine. i know Im crazy. I also dont need a helmet to ride a bicycle.

Penalties need to be added to what can be challenged. We have all watched games and a players number is called and that player was on the sidelines.

If a defender was held, and by it not being called,the QB completed a pass for a TD or 1st down, that should be challengeable.
