Officials

those were also bad because they kept the Saints drive going

 

That's the point, but it appeared to be intentional to all who saw it..the camera picked it up very clearly.

 

the officials can't see slow motion replays though

 

15 yard face mask only gets called if the player yanks on it.

 

I figured the PI on Davis was a makeup call for Keyshawns reception on our opening score. But that was a terrible flag to throw. Im glad we overcame because we could have collapsed.

While Peppers showed no malice in almost taking Brees' head off, that's gonna get called every time.

 

I thought it was PI on Davis until I saw the replay. To me it looked like he had his left arm hooked under Conwell's right, but in slow-mo you could see that it was clean. From behind, which is where the ref was, it probably looked worse. Of course, you shouldn't make that call from behind anyway.

 

It looked to me like they were both using their arms a little and the got tangled up. I was at the game though, so didn't have the ability to watch again except for the stadium replay.

 

Agree. And when a D player arrives to make a great breakup, they sometimes get called for interference. Its the way it goes. I thought the game was pretty well officiated.

Remember, they called the Keyshawn juggle a catch (I think it was), didnt call Marshall for interference, and ruled Foster down after the ball was stripped. We got our share of calls.

 

??. Malapoo, Sackem90, and I are all women.

Collin's right. They don't judge intentional. Only whether the touch to the facemask (or helmet) is incidental or yanking. Fingers to the eye happen accidentally all the time. Of course, deliberate ones do too, but those are usually at the bottom of a pile.

 

The radio feed said Peppers was being held so much, his shoulder pads actually broke and they had to tape them together on the sidelines. Any truth to that?
