Rams fans launch petition to remove referee from Saints-Rams

vpheughan · 01-16-2019, 07:20 AM

Those same Ref's missed a few pass interference calls that could have been easily called on the Saints.

"Rams strangely have a tough time when he is the head officiator, going 0-7 with him at the helm"

Doesn't sound like the league is trying to engineer a Saints Superbowl, sounds like the league saying 'F**k the Rams" all season lol...

Hippies and their fu***ng petitions, already manufacturing an excuse for a Rams loss.

Here are Bill Vinovich's statistics as a Ref.

Since 2014 he is 3-3 with the Saints

What the Rams fans going to be asking for next, that any person wearing a black and gold shirt in the dome, must be replaced by a Rams fan in case it gets a little noisy for their offence??

PATHETIC and COMICAL!!!

GEAUX SAINTS, WHO DAT!!!!!!

Just about ever fan base believes that the League is "against" them.

Wow, Eagles fans said the same thing about the Divisional Round matchup and guess what? Officiating was waaaaay in Philly's favor...

From previous discussion...

Crusader's point is that the game was called unevenly, and as much fandom as I have for my Saints, an objective mind with knowledge of the game could see it...

And then there's this factual statistical comparison:

Team: Penalties - Penalty Yards

Philadelphia: 4 - 30

New Orleans: 11-84

Even if you take away Peat's four flags that Brees-Thomas overcame, that's still 7-4 - that's how uneven the game was called...

And don't even get me started with flagrant hands to the face on nearly every single play by the Eagles defensive line...

So I don't want to hear any bullshinski about the officiating being in our favor - a better team and a home crowd is what we have going for us...

Goodell and his officials won't be doing us any favors...

What about the obvious OPI that wasn't called when the receiver fell down and pulled Lattimore down so that he wouldn't have a chance to intercept the ball?

What they also don't realize is that for the playoffs it's an allstar crew and not the ref's regular crew. Vinovich will only have 2 of his regular guys with him for this game according to Vinovich and Blakeman are the referees for the Conference Championships – Football Zebras

I bet the Boston faithful aren't too pleased about the Head Ref selection either.

Clete Blakeman and the Patriots don't mix.
