To be fair, Brees did throw 7 TD's and for over 500 yards. They probably should have held and mauled our receivers more.

I've can't remember the last time officials called a penalty after the fact like that. That face mask call was the difference in the game. Can't say that call didn't go the Saints way.

It wasn't after the fact. They immediately threw the flag when it happened, but then I think they confused themselves when they were trying to figure out if it was a fumble and whether or not Snead could advance the ball. The flag never should have been picked up, but they got it right. And it was very flagrant, so I don't know why you make it sound like we got a lucky call. It obviously helped us out, but it was also the right call all the way.

Yeah, good point...that's a huge call.

The Evil Empire HQ'd in New York will not be happy. But they do have to throw the peasants some crumbs occasionally.
