Re: Broncos game-winning block against Saints may have been illegal
Here's a close-up video of the defensive holding with the Umpire (No. 102) clearly able, and unwilling, to pull the flag and make the call...
NOTICE that No. 93 holds down Drescher allowing the linebacker to leap over; in fact, the linebacker buoys his balance against No. 93's helmet which is also, technically, a penalty... |

Re: Broncos game-winning block against Saints may have been illegal
Blandino has been on the radio defending the call all day. You can push the lineman down, you just can't pull him. He equates it to that of an o-lineman...push is ok, pull is a hold.
I think more should be put on our special teams coach. Film on Denver doing this was out there, shame on us for not being prepared. Oh and I think it was mentioned before but we turned the ball over 4 times. That's what got us beat. |

Re: Broncos game-winning block against Saints may have been illegal
Granted, I know it's in slow motion, but when I look at that video above, I see one team that is going through the motions, phoning it in, like the extra point was a gimme formality in the Pro Bowl and it didn't really matter, and I see another team playing with heart and passion and fire, jumping in to try and make a play to turn the balance of the game and WIN. Away from the block, just look at the push and the leaping on the left side of the Broncos and how there's pretty much no physicality to the Saints line there at all, like they're just expecting to lightly tap pads and go home. Watch it again from any angle you like, and look at the difference in energy level between the two teams. That's why it happened one time earlier in the year, and that's why the WHOLE CITY should be calling for McMahon's resignation/firing right now. The special teams unit is poorly coached and it's costing us games.

I'm just calling total BS on the League and Blandino for actually defending botching this call and not admitting they got it wrong... |
