Re: Most amazing thing about recent run
 

I’ll bring this thread back because I think it’s important. Obviously there are many reasons the Saint struggled to put this game away even though they were clearly the better team. Such an obvious disadvantage in penalties is one. Now, looking back on these past games, maybe going back to Green Bay- this 10 penalty game sticks out. So, I’m wondering/asking again about the amazement I have about the refs letting the team play the game. Was this last game really so bad that the penalty difference was warranted..or was it BS ? Honest thoughts wanted.

For me it is not just penalties, but replay, too. In yesterday’s game, they reviewed a long catch by Gage (I think) and ruled it a catch. I thought it was pretty clear that the ball was loose before it hit the ground a certainly loose after and was stunned by the review. I am one, who tries to be unbiased when looking at the replays for these types of things and I was sure it was incomplete, though I knew there was a good chance the refs would disagree.

When this sort of stuff goes on in a game, I have to wonder if they are just trying to help the other team out a bit. Sure seems like it sometimes.

That was a case where there wasn't enough to overturn the play obviously. I agree with your take, but understand the decision.

The thing that I really noticed was the lack of calls on Atl. I swear I noticed at least three clear holds against Hendrickson alone that were not called. From the first punt received that had a hold called that made the first drive start on the 14 on, it was clear the refs were going to make it an uphill battle all day.

I feel the same way. I didn't watch the game on a big screen tv so I can't be sure but that PI call on Lattimore during the Falcons TD drive sure seemed contrived.

I had several local Pats fans here text me saying they thought it was BS. They had no skin in the game.

Consistent play from the stars and leaders. Important plays and big games from the supporting cast. Truly improved coaching from week to week and adjustments during games. It's all there. Again. Gotta get past the refs and Mahomes. It has happened against the odds and greatness. Ask Peyton.

The announcers even said they didn't see any foul on the play.

It’s all BS in this game today, we talked about this years ago when the NFL wants to keep games competitive tru - out they can’t have total blowouts anymore. people will gradually turn there sets off or find another game to watch, which won’t sell advertising or there overpriced products.
