The 3rd and 1 call really annoyed me. Murray was nowhere near the first down, our guys did a fantastic job and the refs just marched the ball a yard and half forward. That led to a TD.

That one set me off, too.

No doubt, this was the clearest example in the first half of tampering in the Vikings. The 2 PI calls, the one where the WR was holding the DB's wrist was ridiculous, but let's call it the ref's angle, whatever. A 2 foot spot for the 1st down, was total BS, and speaking of why in the world would we not challenge?
It makes sense that the refs are told to make calls to try to keep the game close, to display a better "product", who wants to see a 40-3 superbowl? Me if the saints were up 40.
But no way should we lose to the Vikings, and that was obvious yesterday. There has always been suspect calls, like someone said earlier, but it seems like this year they have been over the top.
Someone showed me a video of Jordan pulling off the edge pressure on the same play Williams whiffed, could some the players be in on the take?

We didn't challenge because there was an issue with the replay monitor in the Saints coaching booth. That is also the reason given for the second half challenges that should not have been made. They were flying blind.
