Saints/Broncos blown calls

[Kold]

This won't be too much of an angry, bitter fan rant, and this isn't meant to take anything away from Denver as both teams fought hard...but in 2016, with all of the rule changes and camera angles, it amazes me that the refs could miss these 2 calls. The 2nd for obvious reasons, but the 1st is incredible in it's own right, given that the ref is standing right in front, as the center's head is getting pushed down

They weren't blown calls.

Unbelievable. The Eagles have been getting gouged all year long. Back to back BLATANT penalties in the 4th. One helmet to helmet where the WRS face was gushing blood. It's just getting unbearable.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Always hated that the sideline is white when players wear bright white shoes so frequently. Wouldn't mind some stripe of some kind that was red or something.

I guess you listened on the radio and can't see the above pictures???

Blown calls, *missed calls, all the same difference when you lose on a tip six

It kind of amazed me too that there wasn't a better camera angle of the sideline. I said right away while watching the game that there wasn't a view to overturn that. I would agree that he probably stepped on the line, but nothing showed enough to reverse it.

Be happy man, your Saints played a heck of a game against one of the best teams in NFL. The turnovers were game changers more than than that ridiculous blocked kick for 2 points. You had it in the bag and one great play by a rookie that jumped over the line and got a bit lucky changed the outcome.

I could see the second one as a Issue

but the 1st looks like nothing. The leaping blocker is not touching anyone

And Von Miller gets held on almost every play and yet it's rarely called. The Saints didn't lose the game based on an iffy call, you can't see him clearly step out on any of 4 angles they showed. That's not on the officials and it certainly isn't a blown call. And if the guy jumps and touches the Center it's a penalty and Simmons didn't touch him.

Worst call I've ever seen

Oh I'm very happy. We fought hard against a great team, and we're still just one game back of the division. Just sucks to lose in that fashion

It wasn't about the leaper, it's about the lineman that was leveraging the center's head down as the leaper leaped.

Call me a homer, but I saw just enough that should of overturned the call on the field. As for the center, see above

IMHO, you guys played better than the Broncos. Tough luck on the turnovers, have to credit the Broncos they know how to force those situations. Surely that will be THE issue to discuss this week for your team.

 

[Mondo Jay]

Didn't like the blatant hold/holds against Denver's D line during Bree's TD to Cooks.

I am getting over it.

93?

It looks Sketchy but his hands seem to be fists not anything that would hold a Lineman down

Trust me, I was going for the Saints, but the refs made the right decision to not overturn that call.

There needs to be beyond a reason of doubt that he stepped out, and there were no angles to change that.

Did you just start watching football recently? Like today maybe?

Shh God no. You all know that the NFL will paint the sidelines fucking pink for stupid ass tits.

That sounds a lot like you're anti-tits. Say it ain't so.
