We get screwed again

Audiotom · 11-09-2014, 06:55 PM

I was in the stands three rows up from the hail mary
Pretty obvious push off by Graham

What pisses me off were the 5-6 PI calls killing drives we had including initial ot drive

It wouldn't have come to this when we cant score even a fieldgoal just before half

Drew you cant throw into triple coverge

I guess it would look obvious from the stands when the defender throws himself to the ground like a basketball player trying to draw a charge. He put his hands on the guy, but that is VERY common on hail mary's, yet the one time we complete one, it's flagged.

I'd be a hypocrite if I complained about the Graham call. Because it annoyed the hell outta me when Michael Irvin made a career out of pushing off receivers and it never got called.

Roddy White does the same **** to, that is his career, if he never did it, he be no more a WR than Nick Toon.

We got screwed alright, but you're blaming the wrong guys. We got screwed by Drew Brees the turnover machine. As far as the PI goes it was absolutely the right call. Should that DB win an Oscar YES, but it was still a push off. The sad part is I didn't think he needed to push off.

Sorry it was not the right call. What are the odds of them throwing a defensive pass interference in that situation. The answer is zero percent. If there is no way they would've called it on the defense then that was not enough in my opinion to throw the flag. There is no way it should've been 14 to 0 when we are at home either though. Roger and them can hate all they want because we still win the division and just might get our revenge on SF when it truly counts.

Go to see an eye doctor, immediately!

Listen this loss hurt big time, Can't blame the refs for every freakin loss though. If you couldn't see the push off, wow

You're an LSU fan like me, obviously, so let me use lastnight as an example. On the last play of the game (which wasn't even a hail mary, but it was a desperation type of pass) Jennings throws it up and our receiver is getting run over by two guys, but because it is perceived as a jump ball by the refs, there was no flag. And that didn't surprise me, for that very reason. I expect that.

What Jimmy did was not nearly as egregious, and in fact, it was barely anything. And the fact that he clearly had position on the guy, I'd like to think a ref could use a little discretion in that situation, regardless of it being a hail mary or any other play. Your assessment seems based on technicality rather than the football play that it was. You gotta let them play sometimes, and that is undeniably a time where refs usually do. But they didn't, and that is very upsetting.

But it is not the only reason we lost, and I think we all realize that. But you know if anyone blames it on Drew they can't possibly be a real Saints fan in the eyes of many on this board. And if we blame it on Colston's drop, then we're just picking on a good ol' boy who is too nice to deserve criticism for yet another pitiful performance. Nobody is ever happy with any sort of analytical view point around here.

I never said he didn't push off. I said if they wouldn't call it the other way it should've been let go. I also did not blame the refs. I actually said we shouldn't be down 14 to 0 at home. I will still say it is a possibility that Roger was behind the loss because we might not have drafted the way we did if we had a second round pick. U might want to check an eye doc yourself pimp. Go ahead and throw you a 49ers hat on while your at it.

He pushed off, but that's a call they usually let go. It is what it is.
