Something we just dont see often is some real hard nosed football discussions.

But I like to hear everyones take as it related to the Saints vs NFC South opponents this season and the replacement officials.


Last time the Saints got a new defensive coordinator they pretty much ran the table with the Division, only losing to Tampa and Carolina at the end of the season but they also held all opponents to some low pt totals in those games to.

Does Spags defense give the Saints advantage vs these teams offenses this season since we talking about new schemes?

Since Atl has bought in Mike Nolan, can the same be said about them? Or is their 1 qtr of play vs Baltimore just a smoke bomb?



As for replacement officials, does anyone believe that teams are doing more holding, contact, that normally results in a penalty because the officials are not calling it?

If we had the strike officials in the game, do you think the Saints defense would be more dominant? Or would we continue to see blown calls (like possibly some penalty on the Brady hit?) Which is what the Strike officials the last couple of seasons been famous for?

My opinion stands, Replacement officials get the calls right when its called, Strike officials blow almost every call it seems, although they tend to see more than what the replacement officials do.


Thoughts?
