There were "clear" penalties that were called against the Saints. Because the Saints SUCKED and were playing badly, hitting out of bounds, unnecessary roughness, illegal hands to the face, which our lineman did because he was consistently being beat, etc. If you are a good team, playing well, good football, the refs will GIVE you all the calls or non-calls or judgement calls that you need. The Saints STUNK yesterday, they were sloppy and undisciplined and disorganized, and the refs called them on it. You want the refs to give the Saints a bunch of easy breaks, and coddle them, just because they are playing badly? That's not how it works.

I think Jenkins actually probably pushed the guy down, because of the frustration of the stiff arm in his face mask seconds earlier -- which was perfectly legal by the Rams runner. So since he pushed him down as a reaction when the guy was already WELL out of bounds, on the whole it was a very very dumb, very emotional play by Jenkins, really stupid and cost his team yardage in the worst possible spot of the field. If the Saints want to play sloppy and undisciplined football like that on the road, while the other team plays better football, then the refs will be there with the "inconsistent" flags for you all day, you'll see them everywhere.
