this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I was at the game, and can't find a 'highlight', so plz answer if you can. Was the hit on Henderson legal? He looked on replay like he was down, or pretty close to it, plus it was a blow ...

I was at the game, and can't find a 'highlight', so plz answer if you can. Was the hit on Henderson legal? He looked on replay like he was down, or pretty close to it, plus it was a blow to the head. Anyone know?

Re: Here Are The 21 Worst Replacement Referee Mistakes From Sunday
It's not b****ing about the refs to say that Jake Locker is injured now, because they missed an obvious call that should have been blown dead. That is pretty darn serious problem if you ask me.
I forget who it was, but in our game there were at least TWO non-whistles, where the forward progress of the Saints runner/receiver had been stopped, he was upright and wrapped up, no whistle, and Redskins players were twisting the guy around and punching at the ball and trying to bend his knees the wrong way. That kind of "lazy" whistle, is eventually going to (a) get somebody hurt and (b) result in fumbles and changes of possession that are not really fumbles, for whatever team it happens to, not just the Saints. A lot of injuries happen when there is that scrum, the pile is actually upright and stationary, and then if there is no whistle, that one outside defensive player (usually a defensive secondary guy) runs flying in at full speed and hurtles his body in there, hitting the pile and twisting people of both teams. That's not b***ching about the refs to point out that it is dangerous and unnecessary. |

So, with that in mind, I can't really fault the replacement refs for following that same guideline set by the regular referees. |

As much as I hate the zebras I hate these guys more. If only because I want Der Kommisar to come across badly.
