- - Horrible Officiating!!!! (https://blackandgold.com/saints/38076-horrible-officiating.html)

The PI call on White was one that went the Saints way. I saw a couple more but the Saints are definitely on the losing end from the ref's every week.

My guess is Smith told the refs to watch Graham because he had been holding, a great acting job by the rusher, and the refs make the poor call.

I was thinking the same thing

What a giant load of horse turds I just witnessed from the officials. There are three bad calls that stand out, all of which went against us.

1. The most egregious call, by far, was that totally bogus phantom holding call which erased a John Kasay field goal. Bogus!

2. Phantom PI call on Tracy Porter which sustained a Falcons drive late in the game. The slightest possible nudge as Porter is covering the pass play? Really? That's Pass Interference?

3. Lance Moore was clearly hooked and pushed by the Falcon defender prior to the ball getting there, so the ref throws the flag, then the other refs come over to have a powwow and take back the flag? WTF???

HORRIBLE OFFICIATING! When is something going to be done about this????

I'm pleased with the outcome but the game was a mess and I think the officials have it in for us this year. Is the NFL rigged?

I wrote this earlier today before the game. I am so with you!

"An honest concern for me is the refs. They have a bad bad habit of giving generous spots to this Falcons team, do not know why. I am scared there will be one bad PF, one bad PI, and one bad spot. I never like to blame the refs, but I hope this doesn't happen today, but boy am I worried of it"

I knew that **** was going to happen

I dunno, I was kind of impressed with the officiating today all things considered. We usually get hosed every single time. I thought it was a miracle they overturned that 1st down towards the end in overtime, and they even called Roddy push off on his BS a couple times. I have seen worse that is for sure.

I think what had me livid was the picked up flag on int against LM, then the totally hosed holding call on JG. The porter PI too on Roddy Roddy Pipers Pit

Question. Do they not do a 10 second clock runoff for offensive penalties under 2 minutes anymore? Or is that only under a minute. The Falcons had a false start on that last drive of regulation with about a 1:15 and there was no runoff.

I am STILL pissed that Devery was called for holding because he pancaked a Tampa Bay db on what should have been a Sproles TD!

One, for sure, was the offensive PI call against ATL... don't remember which player.

Refs blew a bunch of calls, including several they could have called against N.O., but missed.
I'm just glad we got the W despite the poor officiating.
It's very frustrating when bogus flags sustain drives that were about to be punted away!!
