They need to decide whether the officials are just mindless drones on the field to start and stop play and ALL the calls, including flags, are made from the booth OR they'll just put it back in a better place.

I think we're losing something in the game because of instant replay.

Ironic isn't it?

But officiating has gotten worse. There have always been bad calls but long ago, before replay, everyone just dealt with it. They reset the ball and replayed the down etc.

Now, I've seen whole games held up until decisions are made from watching replays on TV.

Funniest part? THEY GET THE DAMN REPLAYS WRONG AFTER SITTING THERE AND WATCHING IT FOR 5 MINUTES AND HAVE TO ISSUE AN APOLOGY THE NEXT DAY!!!!!

As for the Saints, I think we see what everyone else in America sees - we all see our teams getting bad calls against them. From New Orleans to Arizona to Jacksonville to Green Bay to Denver to New England - which Fans really do believe calls go their way??? I think none.
