Oh, sort of like the "tell your boobs to stop staring at my eyes" argument?

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. |
