Agreed, but I look at it this way... even with the vast majority of calls in New England's favor, and the Saints having back-to-back road games (a killer), playing one of the AFC's leading Superbowl contenders coming off a loss, it still took a last second miracle with a blatent offensive hold for them to pull off the win.

We have 10 games left, and I don't see more than 3 or 4 losses.

We'll finish 11-5, maybe 12-4 if we get a few bounces our way.

We'll finish 15-1 if we get the same kind of favoritism New England got yesterday.

Yeah, but there was shoulder-to-helmet contact/defenseless player and I see why they called it, though I vehemently disagree with them calling that one, :burn: ... it was so obvious Bush was doing everything in his power not to put a flagrant hit on the guy but still do the job the Saints sent him out there to do ... poor judgment and erring on the side of caution by the refs, IMO.

The shoulder to helmet contact was not from a shoulder going into the side of the helmet, it was from the helmet going into the shoulder as the defender was right in front of him. There is a difference there.

Re: Refs: Home Cooking?
 
I just automatically assume that all refs are against the Saints, permanently, and it's completely hostile, 11 against 18, you have to beat the other team AND the refs, every time the Saints step on the field. I mean pointing out obvious mistakes is fine, but bellyaching and making a case that it influenced the outcome of the game, "we wuz robbed," etc, I just don't understand that kind of thinking after a loss. You have to beat the refs and the other team, in every game, it's always been like that.

There was nothing in this game anywhere remotely close to an "INTERTOUCHDOWNCEPTION" screwup like the famous Packers/Seahawks game, so there's no reason to bellyache. Although the Drew pick was a definite busted play, you could tell because portions of both the Saints and the Patriots were NOT reacting to the snap of the ball.

It is a common thing for refs to "clip the wings" of a superior team, or to give a little "home cooking" to the home team, or to give "Golden Boy Superstar" the calls he wants or needs, whether it's Brady or Clay Matthews or even Brees. That happens all the time.

Back to Jeanpierre's original point, there is also ref home cooking especially in a game like the Bears game, where a superior team is starting to separate and clearly run away with the game against the home team, early on. Which is what was happening against the Bears. Then the refs will gently "clip the wings" of the team that's starting to run away with the game, and say "nope, can't keep doing that," to slow the faster, better team down and give the other losing team a shot. That happens all the time, and not just with the Saints. But that's where stuff like your bad spots and your ticky tacky holding calls come into play.

Why was the timeout brees called that didn't get awarded factor into the game? 2 reasons
1. They get a pick that leads to 3 points
2. We lost by 3!
Also the offsides that was called a false start would've put us in field goal range if we wouldn't have gained another yard!
AGAIN WE LOST BY 3!!! 6 point swing on that one mistake by the REFS!!

Re: Refs: Home Cooking?
 
What I notice is that if a team wins -- no one from the winning team discusses questionable or clearly unfair play calling by the officials. Seems to me everyone needs to get in the complaint department line to talk about poor officiating after a game -- especially the winning team. What would happen if Bill Belicheck after the game said, "We need to review some of the officials calls....I think they gave us the game." Until that happens, I agree that complaining about the officiating is probably pointless.

However, that does not mean that poor play calling doesn't matter or have an impact. We all know the infinitesimal margin of error between winning and losing in games between two well matched teams. A few key plays generally turn a game. Why do we let coaches challenge official's calls? Because, it matters.

So, yes, we need to complain -- and not just the losers.

I think the poor officiating is a result of a couple things.

#1 - No one wants to see replacement refs.

#2 - Current refs I feel have a stranglehold on the NFL and can do as they please, which could explain how bias they are to 1 team in any given game. This of course speaking after the ref lockout that happened last season.

After that point, its been pretty forgone conclusion that they been siding with 1 team since that point last year, its pretty much put both San Fran and Baltimore into the SB last year as well.

Re: Refs: Home Cooking?
 
It's kinda' like that in all sports ... Michael Jordan used to get the calls, Wayne Gretzky and now that wus Sydney Crosby, the strike zone is smaller for some batters and larger for some pitchers ... it is what it is, :rolleyes:.

I watch a lot of games on Sunday and there's questionable calls/non-calls in every game. What I don't like seeing is the increase in what I perceive as "make-up" calls, most notably in the pass interference area, where the refs miss an obvious PI call on one play, then call PI on another play that's close, but not PI. Half the time, there's no flag on a play until after a coach or player starts screaming at a ref for the call.

As it's been noted, it's becoming almost impossible to defend a pass and there's been an increase in knee hits/injuries to receivers as everyone tries to adjust to the new 'player safety' mindset.

Lotta' split-second decision making on a myriad of rules/regulations going on out there, there's gonna' be mistakes ...

I know, I've got several friends from that area who were talking smack...

Emailed a list of questionable calls punctuated with the link of the Solder hold - they shut it...

Even they said it was pretty bad and remembered getting the 'home cooking' against the NY teams...

The part that get's me is the BS defense that the refs view was blocked - now that was incredible to hear...

How can the referee who stands to the rear of the offensive backfield who's responsible for that very call not pull the flag?!?

This block certainly appears to be a hold, but what you must consider is the timing of the action. As Tom Brady releases the pass, the defender gets twisted, and normally a call would not be made for this action, since it occurs just as the pass is being released.
The "holding" wasn't just the armbar, he had a hold on Galette's jersey the entire time, and wrapped him up more the further he got. The entire play was a hold, saying it came "as the ball was released" completely misses it. Probably the worst call made the entire weekend.

Read the link in this thread how the ref that got the last Superbowl had his grades adjusted and several "unnamed" contemporaries were not happy with the league doing same...

Would the league give specific instructions?!? Can't imagine they'd be that stupid

But I'd like to see a study re: officiating getting zealous when one team starts to pull away early in a game of the week that needs ratings...

But I've no doubt that in some of those guys minds, they may conceive perceptions that the League has certain markets they favor and getting those premium post-season assignments are their carrot...

Re: Refs: Home Cooking?
 
Wanted to comment on the officiating yesterday - it pretty much sucked it, for BOTH teams...

Fred Jackson scored (and no, he's not on my FNFL roster), but the Bills made it moot...

The thing that irritated me with the calls on Brees is it's fine if you're gonna call it tight, but, c'mon Alice, spread the mayo on both slices of the bun...

Bills Center, Eric Wood, drew our defense on an encroachment penalty he created by "pumping", or simulating a snap, I thought that too should have been called and wasn't...

And to ask for the ref to ask, and re-ask, the official that threw the flag on the blatant facemask against Drew, well, that was pretty pathetic...
