neilfish2 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Congratulations, your team played a heck of a game. Out Coached, Out Played, All around Good Game. Not to make excuses, but a small dose of Ref. help and ya'll know it. I think we opened some eyes, and we do have a great team. Good Luck in the Bowl....

neilfish2 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 The ball was clearly moving before his knee was down. Also, the invisiable Offensive Pass Interference early in the first Qtr. 1st of the game. I think the ref thought it was about that time to throw a flag...

I think the ref thought it was about that time to throw a flag... I find it amazing that a 25 point game was decided by a PI call against the offense. And the FG that came from the fumble.

TheGrunt Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Nobody's teams ever just lose anymore. I can't get enough how protective and defensive you are about any referee call this year. I don't know if you've been this quick to jump the gun regarding a questionable call a ref has made in any game previous last years Super Bowl. But you sure do seem to do it a lot this year, and more often than not you are defending the ref. It's obvious the refs don't dictate the true winner or outcome of a game, but there becomes a point where you are allowed to question the calls a ref makes and not be considered a . Refs make bad calls sometimes, accept it. I'm pretty sure this sort of complaining has happened much longer than just this last year over calls that some refs make. It's the whole reason the NFL adopted the option to challenge calls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To question a call is one thing, to try to say that the refs determined a win or a loss is pathetic. Fans are always so quick to blame officiating, and it is annoying. I've NEVER blamed a loss of any team I root for or play on to officiating. It is the talk of loser and is weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skins Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Man, I wish the Saints had done it. That would have been amazing. Now I want Manning, that New Orleans kid, to make it and win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pope Flick Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I like the Chicago avi's. We'll have an 'official'one tomorrow. Unless someone really disgrees, here's my idea for the sig: I, your friendly yet arrogant neighborhood Saints fan, have learned as good as the Saints are, the Chicago Bears are better. See you next year: our team is here to stay. Geaux Bears! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you know Menudo you are pretty ignorant or blind if you don't think calls can win or lose games. What's worse is when a call is looked at thru instant replay and they still get it wrong. Sorry Menudo calls have and will forever be a part of football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispirons Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Crisp & Darin, PM me your address & lemme know if you like your beer dark(Turbodog) or light(Abita Amber). please send me abita amber. and then, don't send it. drink it and remember what a fine yr da saints had and root for the bears in the bowl (which it sounds like you are already). after reading all the threads, i think people are wrong about the calls and officiating. most of them were right on. a couple of maybe this or maybe that, but it was actually pretty good. i would like to see the review the refs get by the league. i bet they did well in there grading system. jmo.

cdrudge Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 The ball was clearly moving before his knee was down.I don't believe the question was whether or not the ball was moving, but rather did he have control of the ball when his knee hit. I agree that the ball was moving however I felt he had control of the ball still. But what do I know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are usually calls that are missed on both sides. I'm not saying bad calls don't happen or don't have an effect on the game....they can and sometimes do. However, pointing to them as an excuse for why your team lost is and always will be weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying bad calls don't happen or don't have an effect on the game....they can and sometimes do. However, pointing to them as an excuse for why your team lost is and always will be weak. That's exactly why I loved the idea of instant replay. I was actually foolish enough to think instant replay would take away at least one excuse for the losing team. However to be honest, whenever a play is being reviewed whether or not it will hurt or help my team my confidence in them getting the call right isn't very high. What's funny is even that last fumble by Brees that was obviously a fumble that was being reviewed I felt there was still a decent chance 25% the Saints would retain possession. For the life of me I can't understand how it can't be 100% correct especially when over ruling a call made on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
