Horrible Officiating!!!!

SaintsRule11 · 11-13-2011, 04:02 PM

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?

Horrible calls on both sides...

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

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.

I was thinking the same thing

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!!

Jordan and Smith were constantly being held on their way to hitting Matt Ryan, did they have a holding called on them any?

yeah, its getting out of hand, but porter did hit him before he touched the ball, so you might want to let that one go. The Graham holding call was just stupid

This is every game we play. I think the officials need to be fined gor every suck call they make.
