Re: Quit blaming our losses on the refs and Goodell
Can't put all the offensive woes on Brees, though. O-line has been bad - almost as if the man in charge of coaching them is off doing something else.
Besides that, WRs/TEs are dropping passes like they're scared of the ball. |

Re: Quit blaming our losses on the refs and Goodell
The refs and the Goodell should share a part of the blame. The bountygate damage has been going on since what, February? And then the Brees contract problems and finally the stress of Hurricane Isaac. The Saints didn't even get an off-season as far as I'm concerned. We've been Goodell's punching bag since the day the New York Giants parade ended.

Re: Quit blaming our losses on the refs and Goodell
Refs????????
What about the defensive TD that was not allowed? I only heard the game on the radio but the commentators said the the KC player fumbled the ball after hurting his elbow?? We then scooped up the free ball and ran it into the endzone! TD for us, or a least thats what the Saint radio commentators said, they could not see a problem at all, but it wasn't allowed??????? Maybe I miss heard but I'm sure that's what they said????? |

Re: Quit blaming our losses on the refs and Goodell
I forgot about that one to because that was a defensive TD, but I dont remember if we ever scored on that turnover or not.
It was a stupid call because the runner wasnt down and they blew the whistle before he was even touched. |

Re: Quit blaming our losses on the refs and Goodell
The rule says, as best I can tell, that his other foot - the one that hit the pylon, had to have come down in the end zone for it to be a touchdown.
For all they got wrong - and that was plenty - it looks to me like they got that one right. |

Re: Quit blaming our losses on the refs and Goodell
Yeah because 2 things occurred on that play.
Never touched. Loss the ball. The refs if you notice all through that game though, were blowing whistles about a sec before they should have been blowing them. That happened a bunch of times, especially on plays where the player went out of bounds, they blew them before they actually went out of bounds. |
