Saints fans still complaining about the refs

I'm pretty sure that you may be the only person in the United States who watched the game and feels that way, pherein.

The announcers, media, fans, and coaches all praised Aqib Talib repeatedly.

Im pretty sure you dont subscribe to the general media supafly, unless you want to agree with what they also say about the patriots threw the years. You cant pick and choose just to fit your point of view, or when its convenient.
Talib is a great player and stoped 4 passes to graham. The other two he should have made. Any other crazyness that hes a shut down corner will only get you in to trouble.
Because we will pass on him again. Not sure about other teams, but I like the matchup.
Im glad Brees passed against him, and he needs to more. Graham is very capable of beating Talib. He has height, weight, and vertical leap on him. Brees even passed against Revis without believing the hype. There is no island, and these guys need to be tested. They have wonderful stats because no good QB's are testing them and avoid them. Otherwise they are just damn good CB or S. Hardly shut down. Talib was better than I thought though in this game. Hope he keeps it up.

Speaking of complaining:

Atlanta coach Mike Smith complained to the league after his team’s loss to New England about the manner in which the Patriots and other teams were defending Gonzalez – not only double-teaming him but holding him up at the line and double-checking him within the five-yard zone, much in the manner teams do with special teams “gunners” – and has gotten favorable results. The Jets were flagged for holding Gonzalez two weeks ago. And the NFL has essentially instructed officials to make it a point of emphasis, not just in cases involving Gonzalez, but all receivers, to penalize the defenders for employing similar tactics.

Expect people are mostly complaining about the rule.

If you are an actual football fan you'd know holds sometimes don't get called at the end of games unless a player is completely mauled. Hell holding is probably called only about 65-70 percent of the time.

This was the first time this rule was ever enforced and there is the debate of whether or not the jets did it on the FG that sent the game to over-time.

Saints fan said the same kind of thing on our boards last week and got an entire thread devoted to their "whining."

You can nit-pick and talk semantics until you're blue in the face, but Pats fans are doing the same thing now you all complained about all week. I see a post about the refs being paid off by the Jets, I see conspiracy theories regarding a rule change and, most of all, I see a whole lot of people unhappy about what they see as a possible undeserved loss with officiating as a factor.

Hot damn, I love irony. Think I might even pay the Jets board a visit soon. LOL

No in the grasp of Eli...no choke hold on Seymour by O'Hara...three other PHOTGRAPHED DOCUMENTED HOLDS on the same play...didn't happen...nope...but today's FIRST time enforcement of a rule NO ONE ever heard of before and Pats fans should shut up and are ironical ...OK...but YOU are CLOWNICAL.

valid I think

How about that no-call push off by Kenny Stills on 3rd and 20?

Weird how a similar play happened today and the ref threw the flag.

Now it gets out of hand. Its not our place to put other fans down. Our boys speak for themselves . Brady was outside Bress locker room with his kids and Brees had his kids on his sholders talking for hours. These guys really like eachother.
Your right, that the shoe is on the other foot, but no reason to rub it in.
We should be better than that, and if we are not, than we have a problem in our fan base not theirs. Post like these are non productive, and not what we are about.

but the irony is pretty funny

It's all good. If we GIVE it we should be able to TAKE it.

While the loss irritates me beyond belief, the irony does make me chuckle a bit.

In any case, my stance has remained consistent....Saints fans were right to complain last week just as the Pats fans have a right to complain this week. Last week we got the breaks, this week we didn't. I guess it's true that these things even out over time.

I was wondering when someone was going to bump this thread. We have seen the enemy, and it be us...

There is no irony here. One play was a holding call/no-call that happens all the time. The other play was the first instance of a new call that had gone the entire season without being made, had not been made despite similar actions having occured in the same game, and was made for the first time on a play that essentially decided an overtime football game.

If people can't see the enormous difference between those situations, they need intellectual lasik surgery.

The irony is that Patriot fans are still complaining about the refs, just like Saints fans did, regardless of the situation. Glad I can help.

Bumpity bump bump, because it's just those backwards sorry-ass Saints fans, right???

LOLOLOLOL

(In all honesty tough one to lose, the ball wasn't catchable to be PI but it certainly should've been defensive holding, IMO).

I dont blame the loss on the refs. My biggest issue was the fact that they just picked it up said game is over and walked off the field. No explanation? It seems like the ref made the wrong call but the way he handed it was much worse to me.
