There was also that call on a punt or kickoff where the Panther player deliberately shoved one of our guys in the back causing him to fall down as he was running to cover the returner. It happened right in front of a ref and no call. I mean right ****ing there

yet there is no flag when Scam rips the ball out of the ref's hands to give to someone in the stands OR when there were 5 of them celebrating in the endzone together OR when they were celebrating from the endzone to the 30 yard line. I'm pretty damn sure all 3 of those are a penalty.

The officiating in the NFL as a whole is a ****ing joke, its one of the many reason why this season I watched football on Saturday and only Saints games on Sunday.

This year it feels like I've seen more Saints players being crybabies, looking around for the flag after plays, waving their arms around, than ever before under Payton. They act like they suck, like they need help from the refs, and it shows.

There were a couple of plays yesterday where I noticed the Panthers ball carrier would get tackled, hit the ground, and he'd ROLL FORWARD and the refs would give them another three, four yards on the spot of the ball. Why don't the Saints do stuff like that? Because they SUCK. Back when we were good, we used to get away with all kinds of stuff and get favorable calls going our way, all the time.

OK, officials can give judgement calls to a winning team but you can't give them the obvious 12 men on the field. I could see it sitting 8 rows in the stands and was even yelling at the refs to throw the flag. I don't care if you are 0-11 or 11-0 you don't blow calls like that. And yes I firmly believe the Panthers win was aided by the bad calls and lack of calls.

the last play happened in front of my dad's seats, he said Cooks was held before the ball got there, I was in the terrace so I couldn't tell. I told him good teams get those calls

Cooks could have had that ball. I thought it was a miscommunication but he had his man beat
