People need to get out there and really raise a stink about the strike officials blowing calls. Not just for the Saints but for everybody. Get on Facebook, other forums, post comments under news articles, go on other message boards and talk about it with friendly fans on other teams. Because THAT is what is actually more likely to get Goodell fired,than his mishandling of Bountygate.

They even lied about how much experience these scab officials had -- what does that tell you about Goodell, and also about their evidence in Bountygate? They're willing to stretch the truth to prove their point. Point this out to people if you are ever arguing with somebody about Bounty stuff sometime. They said they had Big 10 experience and they didn't. They said one of them was a ref for a year with the "Lingerie Football League" (I know, right?) but it turns out he was canned after only half a season with them.

No one should have ANY illusion about it, the Saints are going to be playing against the refs EVERY WEEK, as well as the other team, next season. Either by them being biased against the Saints, or just plain unintentional bungling. We will have to overcome a LOT to win.


They missed a SAFETY (holding in the end zone) and a TD by Ingram. If Ingram doesn't get it on the next play, that's a swing of 9 points which could have affected the outcome, if the game had been real. They missed a low late hit on Brees' ankle during the Patriots game -- they're horrible.

What the scab refs do is, and I really noticed this happening a lot -- something happens in the play, you have three refs right there, and they all LOOK AROUND AT EACH OTHER -- waiting for the other guy to do something or make the call. None of them want to call a touchdown unless the other one signals touchdown, too. Or throw flags. Or even spot the ball. It's totally wack.
