At least they almost even out. We had 2 that went for us as well.

Really? Which ones were those?

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

That play looked like a setup. The fact that their coach was signalling 'holding' before the call was announced, combined with the acting job of the rusher on the outside, tells me that they went into that play luring the referees into the call. 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.

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!!
