Jesus, now you're not allowed to touch the receiver on the helmet? Fucking refs are in the Saints' pockets. What a bullshit call.

 

[Branduil]

That's not a catch.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Its hard to beat the other team and the refs.

 

[KaYotiX]

no touchdown but then does the personal foul still count?

Never saw a personal foul, but if that helmet tap was it then :jnc the refs are shit

 

[GraveRobberX]

OK that Ref was fucking blind, he was pulling for the flag and completely forgot about the receiver hauling in the ball, and did TD stance, cause you know give them the TD cause they are in the home stadium

Disgusting!

 

[Tamanon]

They're calling a penalty on that? Holy fuck, this league blows.

Yeah, there was no facemask there, which I assume that's what they called.

 

[meadowrag]

I can't believe that was ruled a TD with the ball coming out 3 inches from the refs face.
He was literally staring right at it

 

[NomarTyme]

OMG, the ref is standing right fucking in front of the ball as it clearly comes out and still calls it a touchdown. What a joke.

The ref didn't finish watching the play lmao.

 

[Wellington]

He jumped before the the ball was snapped, and didn't get back onsides by the time it was snapped.

Then why not throw the flag when it happens instead of waiting to see that it was an incompletion?

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

Yes, why wouldn't it?

cause i want them to review how much of a bullshit penalty it was!

 

[Levyne]

So would that be a catch by old rules? As soon as elbow hits the ground with possession = catch?

Definitely not with process stuff.

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

What bullshit flags. These refs are fucking atrocious. Fuck the saints

 

[cajunator]

Thats not quite a td.

 

[Seda]

That wasn't a penalty either.

 

[bob_arctor]

Hit to the head??

 

[HarryDemeanor]

OMG, the ref is standing right fucking in front of the ball as it clearly comes out and still calls it a touchdown. What a joke.

He was excited.

 

[Elfforkusu]

it's a penalty for touching a receiver's helmet?

when did receivers become QBs?

October 2010.

 

[NomarTyme]

Legit penalty....

 

[NihonTiger90]

Why y'all arguing? Saints just gonna score anyways.

 

[WanderingWind]

That's a penalty now?

 

[Trey]

That's a terrible penalty call.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

What a horrible flag..wtf

 

[brentech]

That's like Woodson's hit to the helmet call.

 

[friskykillface]

lol "i wish i played in this era"

 

[RurouniZel]

Hit to the head??

Grab head, slam to ground.

 

[DonasaurusRex]

LOL the commentators are like....uhh slap to the helmet..

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

so they're flagging slaps now.

no fun league

 

[eznark]

You can;t even touch someone's helmet now? What. the. fuck.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Six and one quarter yard line?

C'mon now, these NFL players aren't smart enough for that, just call it the six.

 

[ConradCervantes]

"That was a vacation hit on that play there."

Collinsworth preaching the TRUF.

 

[KaYotiX]

Even collinsworth was laughing at that flag

 

[Tamanon]

LOL at Collinsworth: "I wish I played in this era"

The levies of penalties have broken.

 

[Dragon]

October 2010.

September 2008

Spoiler

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

come on man. i thought you could touch a recievers/QB's helmet (if it grazed it) but if you pulled the face mask them it was a penalty

 

[bob_arctor]

haha "that was a vacation hit when we played"

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Its only a bad call if it hurts your team.

 

[MatthewB92]

LOL the commentators are like....uhh slap to the helmet..

They will never have the balls to say the ref is wrong.

 

[neoemonk]

They should just play flag football the way they call this shit.

 

[goldlion054]

Not just that flag, but flags league wide need to be reviewed this offseason. It has been an absolute joke all year. Selective reffing and bullshit flags have been absolutely atrocious this year

 

[Elfforkusu]

That's like Woodson's hit to the helmet call.

Yeah, after seeing the replay you're right. At least the ref has the excuse that it looked worse from his angle.

 

[eznark]

LOL at Collinsworth: "I wish I played in this era"

The levies of penalties have broken.

JNC

 

[Doorman]

:JNC at that play. Brees backstepping like a boss.

 

[Dragon]

Nice terrible play Breesus.

 

[NomarTyme]

Damn Brees should have just thrown that away.

 

[Black Mamba]

for all they've given NO in calls, could have been a holding on the Saints there...

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

they flag for a slap, but not against the obvious offensive holding

 

[Spectral Glider]

I was waiting for a roughing the passer call on that one, I'm shocked.

 

[DonasaurusRex]

OMG it should be 21 to 10

 

[eznark]

Brees sucks.

 

[Elfforkusu]

they flag for a slap, but not against the obvious offensive holding

Are we really going to start bitching about uncalled offensive holding now?

REFS ARE IN THE TANK FOR ALL 32 TEAMS
