But the people whining about the refs are such babies. They're like a bunch of crybaby liberals who want the refs to PICK UP and advance the football FOR the Saints, when the Saints can't get a first down on their own, because waaaah, it's NOT FAIR for the other team to stop them! We should score every time, it's not fair, wah wah wah.

Okay, the refs -- what is their JOB??? The refs are basically there to REWARD good football, and to punish BAD football! That's what they do!

If you are playing GOOD football -- disciplined,smart, sportsmanlike, solid, and if you are the better team of the two -- the refs will GIVE YOU all the calls you need. They will inch that ball forward to give you the first down; they will throw that pass interference flag for you, or delay of game, or call an obvious incompletion a catch -- they will GIVE YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED to win.

If you are playing BAD FOOTBALL, if you're getting manhandled, outphysicaled, sloppy, undisciplined, overpowered, and are complaining about everything, they will look the other way, or tell you to TALK TO THE HAND.

It happens all the time. For the Saints, the way to get more of the calls to start going your way, is to man up and start NOT SUCKING ON THE ROAD.

Sorry but having your receiver completely held before the ball gets there without the slighest suggestion of a flag isn't whining

Learn how to really jab some one at the line of scrimmage not just push them a little bit.

It's a problem. And, he has not been in our last several games.

You just answered why we so not spend the big money for a #1 WR. It's very risky.

We lose on the road because we always do something stupid early and play shell-shocked the rest of the game.

Its 90% Mental, 10% personnel... oh and 10% coaching.
