Kind of hard to defeat two teams last night.

Why am I not surprised....

Side note - by the rule of the NFL, the hit on Kamara was legal.

I know a lot of people bashing the refs but if you look at the calls they were correct. Except for the one on Sean.

They were legit otherwise.

Problem is we were sloppy and didn't deliever in the clutch. Injuries yikes.

True, but my issue is that similar calls weren't made on the other side.

Because there weren't...
I saw a couple of hands to the face calls that could have been called on both teams that were let go but when you look at the game as a whole. Saints were sloppy and not prepared as I think they should have been I mean look at the injuries as well.

I guess it's subjective...

No reason to make excuses. Brees and Payton ****ed it up.

You're right Rez ... no one cares. Saints need to make progress & not excuses. Ice up, rehab, recharge, recoup and get a W against the Jets in 10 days. We still control our fate. Just win. Get healthy.

Footnote - Banjo, Lattimore, Teo, Crawley, Kikaha played well. This defense (specifically the secondary) is turning a corner.

What about the push off from Sanu on his touchdown?!

Or the sneeze on Ryan that was flagged for roughing the passer?

Or the numerous holds from the Falcons O-line that were never seen

Or the Payton trying to call a timeout for 8 seconds and then gets flagged for running on the field to grab their attention

You can't honestly say that it was a fairly called game

Yeah even if the hits were legal it was still an extremely poorly called game by the refs. I lost count of how many penalties they "missed" against the clowns... whatever, everything that could go wrong in this game did go wrong and we still almost pulled it off. When they come to our house in 2 weeks they're gonna go home defeated, embarrassed and out of the playoffs. F****n losers.
