So what about when drews incomplete pass was whistled dead before anyone touched it and all of sudden "ball was fumbled and recovered by lions" even though one official stopped the play? Still want to blame the refs?
How about when Stafford slid for a TD on 3rd down when his back knee was easily down without the ball crossing the pylon? Still want to blame the refs

Grow a pair you sore loser

Stafford's TD was legit. I watched it on a 5X8 screen from 10ft away. It was close, really close, but he got it. I don't blame the refs though on the the Brees fumble because the ball went forward. In real time it looks like a pass. No ref could make that call IMO.

Problem with this call is the ball has to be inside the pylon. The point of the ball hit the pylon and therefore never crossed the plane inbounds. Last time I looked the pylon is on the ob edge not in the field of play.

Yeah, but on the NBC "super close-up" or whatever they call it they showed the ball pushing the pylon inward, which would in effect mean that the ball crossed the goal line.

Although, when I watched that play frame by frame on my own from the backside perspective - I thought that the left knee was in fact down before the ball touched the pylon, 2 frames before where the NBC froze the play showing the pylon going inward. But the call was called "confirmed," which means that even if they would've called it 4th down on the field, they would've reversed it after a Lions' challenge.

Actually, the pylon is considered the endzone. Touching the pylon is as good as breaking the plane.

I don't like Shwartz. I love aggressive coaches and enjoy emotional ones. But I hate cry baby poor sports. It's ok to be upset after a loss but you still need to be classy. I can't stand him. I think his attitude reflects upon his team. They will never be great while he is coach.

Cant you get fined for talking smack about refs?

SaintsBro · 01-08-2012, 01:09 AM

I don't want to comment too much without reading his actual quotes or hearing the actual press conference, but the Lions WERE holding as well, and not getting called for it. To the credit of the league I felt that this was a CLASSIC playoff game instance of "letting the teams play the game," where the officials become more loose, removed themselves, letting the players push the rules to the limit, and only calling penalties when it blatantly affected the specific outcome of the particular play. Many ticky-tacky calls were not called that could have gone both ways.

Loser.

Douche bag. Good news: We won't have to listen to him anymore this season.

I am so tired of listening to coaches whinge about the refs after they lose. It is bad coaching.
