Did Brees talk refs into throwing a flag?
I was reading the posts on the iggles board and a guy admits the iggles were holding either Sproles or Ingram.
It resulted in a loss and the officials didn't see it. Supposedly Brees got the officials to huddle and they finally threw the flag |
Re: Did Brees talk refs into throwing a flag?
No, The Iggles weren't holding Sproles... They tackled him and yes Brees threw it to where Sproles was lying on the ground and was pointing, it was a good flag

... cleanest tackle I've seen in a long time.

Re: Did Brees talk refs into throwing a flag?
Yeah, initially Sproles was blocking, but before he could release, he got hauled down.
I don't think I have ever seen a huddle / delayed flag on a play like that before. Brees definitely worked the call |
Re: Did Brees talk refs into throwing a flag?
It was a legitimate complaint. Sproles was tackled before he could release. It was a good call by the officials and a very obvious one they should've seen. Brees had every right to say somethin.

Savvy play on brees's part to react that way.

You don't talk a ref into throwing a flag.....
You tell the head umpire he missed something and make him ask another ref if he saw it on national TV when the violation is playing on the jumbotron...... Repeatedly :) |
Re: Did Brees talk refs into throwing a flag?
That's because Brees watched it happen since it took away his only option on that play and couldn't believe it wasn't noticed.
