NFL Wild Card: Lions at Saints

[PatsSox363804]

Saints o-line got away with the most blatant holding I have ever seen on a televised NFL game.

So you've never watched a Colts game?

“Referee Tony Corrente ruled the play was a fumble and a recovery by Detroit,” the league said in a statement emailed Sunday night to PFT. “However, during the play and before Detroit recovered the fumble, another official blew the whistle believing it was an incomplete pass. Because the ruling on the field was a fumble, and the whistle came before the recovery, the play is dead because of the inadvertent whistle and the Saints should have retained possession of the ball. New Orleans would then have had the choice to put the ball in play at the spot where possession was lost or to replay the down. Inadvertent whistles are not reviewable

Putting to rest, our guys stopped at the whistle and never tried for that ball, according to the rules Lions never should have had the ball at all, and because of the whistle blew it would not have been a forgone conclusion that we would not have stopped the runner or gotten the ball back. Our guys stopped. Truth is the whistle was blown before anyone touched it and it was Saints ball. Lions got a free shot at us to make 7 and didn't.
