Game Balls

Yes, the OL. Williams had his best day. As a team, one of our best rushing days. Like...ever. Some tackle issues, and some center gaffs? Sure. Patchwork bunch out there...some playing out of position, some fucking their mothers a few weeks ago before getting the call.

The OL, yes. Was it perfect? Nope. Won't ever be.

 

Refs for blowing the whistle and giving us the ball back

 

Questionable call, but was there ever any definitive shot showing both the recoverer's feet definitely in bounds even without a whistle? The shots I saw did not show any green between line and second foot down though none I saw were clear enough to say an absolute in or out.

 

um yes, very clear... even Mike Pereira said they blew the call

cost the Saints a touchdown, Panthers ended up scoring a touchdown on that drive... would have put the Saints up 31-13

 

I watched the game on NFL network, so not sure if what I saw was different or not than what you saw, but there was no angle that actually showed green between his right foot and the sideline, which is what would have been needed to change the ruling on the field. FWIW, from what I did see, it appeared his right foot was completely in, but not 100% certain.

 

yeah... there was... Mike Pereira commented that the angle was not made available to the refs during the review, but it couldn't have been any clearer

 

I heard him say that, but I thought I saw the view he was referring to and while I didn't see obvious toe out, I couldn't say from the distance that there was no way no part of his foot touched the edge of the line - it was just white against white with no clear definition - to me.

 

Just watched the game after being in the dome. Not sure Keuchly did a ton to deserve a game ball but he was solid. Josh Thomas played pretty well.

 

Probably true. Munnerlyn also made a couple of nice plays.



And yeah, there were replays showing the Saints recovered that well in-bounds. That was gift-wrapped idiocy. Can you imagine the media outcry if that had happened while the replacements were still in? I wish someone would write about how the officiating didn't get any better when the "real" ones came back.

 

I think so too. In fact, that's the kinda game i expected to see more of all season long. No Cam didnt throw TD #20 or run one in for another. But he got us in position, pretty much setting up Toberts 3 TD's with passes inside in 5 yard line. Should have had 4 with the first drive of the day.

He shared the love, might have pissed of FF players but thats the kinda play that makes the team better by increasing everyones confidence.

Thomas and Munny made some nice plays. Godfrey got his pick at a pretty crucial moment in the game. DJ dropped a gimme tho.

Keek had his 10+ tackle game but it was always gonna be tough on the backers with NO abandoning the run and going on 4th very early in the game. But he did have 2 PDs too.

CJ had his two sacks but I thought the DLine really missed Hardy. Brees had ages to throw back there.

Delo of course and the depleted Oline for helping him gain 200+ yards.
