Whistlegate: Titans accuse Saints of cheating - blowing whistle from sidelines

xan · 12-12-2011, 09:40 AM

If there were whistles coming from the bench, it would have been noticed by the side judge and the sideline crew. And, wouldn't it have affected both teams equally?

Schizophrenia is a bad disease. It's really bad when you get paranoid from the sounds you "hear." A PET scan and a prescription for Lithium should clear that right up for you.

Hey OILERS sorry Titans STFU, you lost even with the ref's helping you out so deal with it, they sound like the Viks after 09

F*&k them and I hate that there calling Harper a dirty player

I heard a whistle too, at the end of the game with their QB on his knees. Game Over

All the calls seemed to happen on big plays too, for massive yards, or scoring plays, which tends to make one, generally suspicious.

And while I do say "Hey, that spot is bad, or that wasn't much contact," from time to time, usually upon review I am amazed at how close they got the spot, or I'll say "Yep, that was holding," or "Uh huh, he interfered." So I'm not a guy who gets pissed every time someone calls a penalty on the Saints' as they get it right amazingly and repeatedly.

But this game, was to say the least, very fishy. Even the reviews, every one of them went TN's way. I'm not clear on what the rule is, but on that "pass" (it was called upon review) the arm wasn't moving at all, and to me it looked more like the hit caused the movement forward. Is that called a pass? I felt like that movement was involuntary, but maybe it is called a pass anyway. Even the guys calling the game seemed to think the officiating was suspect.

Well we had to do something, since the refs weren't doing their job right!

I hear whistles from the stands in just about every game...and I'm frikkin hard of hearing! I even ask my wife occasionally about whistles I hear that's NOT at the end of a play, and she'll tell me it's just someone in the stands. My point is, that it's not uncommon.

Mardigras9 · 12-12-2011, 01:42 PM

The refs didn't give them a favorable spot on the QB sneak, which could have been argued by the Titans. I don't think they were out for the Saints specifically, I think they just sucked all the way around.

Or we could all send them thousands of toy kiddie whistles ... may be just as effective ... it'd be worth the 2 dollars it may cost us each ...
What's the Titans address again?

Stunning.

Those Titans must have Daredevil like hearing to define location like that.
