How much are you guys paying the Zebras

[Zodiac]

Honestly this is the most biased officiating i've seen in my life. My cousin who is a diehard saints fan (He payed 1400$ to go to the superbowl nosebleed seats last year.) is up here watching and he even says the Zebras have helped them a whole lot. This is some of the most god awful officiating ever.

I'm now starting to hope for a lockout cause that means half these bums will be out of a job.

MVP- Zebra #3!

The saints did get some favorable calls ( the blatant misses catch that was called incomplete) a pretty ticky tacky holding call ....but those were not the reason why the saints won.

Farve aside from the final drive in the first half did not seem to want to be there. His body language was very telling.

And the saints did a pretty good job in run defense, and with how disinterested farve was it seemed it was over.

The calls were questionable but not reason the vikes lost.

It is not NEAR as bad as it was in the nfc title game.

The holding call prior to the missed fask mask call was very ticky tacky... espeically when you saw saints linemen do the same thing.

The catch that was ruled incomplete but after the replay it was clear the ball bounced off his hands.

That would have been big.

Those were the only real calls I saw they were wrong.

Farve not giving a **** and Childress not having a set of balls did the vikes in more then the refs.

Also the ghost Holding call after Camarillo long catch, he kept his body right in front of smith and kept him in place and no that is not holding thats a fair block. Holding on a Fair Catch???? Vilma PI'ed Twice 1st time on

the int, 2nd time on the long pass across the middle right before Camarillo's catch. Jahri Evans in the second quarter basically jumping on pat williams back right when he was about to catch brees, Bushrod had 2 distinct block in the backs against Jared Allen that weren't called. The Catch yes it was a catch. Offensive PI on Shockey.

Also they were playing with a depleted secondary (Abdullah and Asher Allen starting lol) and Sidney Rice thier best WR on the PuP.

It will be called every time that guy was beat you can't grab him and turn him around, that is holding in every game. I am sorry you can't come to realize that, yeh the "possible catch" was iffy, but it's the rules a ref saw something the other guy did he was in front of the play not behind.

They made up on one of the calls when on TV you could clear as day that he grabbed Smith's facemask.

So every time there's a bad/missed call that favors the Saints, it's paying off the refs/Katrina. Every time there's a bad/missed call that favors the Saints' opponent, it's part of the game and not every call can be made.

Gotcha.

Saints were a lot closer to scoring 24 points than the Vikings were to scoring more than 10. Saints played poorly and still won. A win is a win. Glad it's week one so they can fix some of the problems, but if they keep playing like this on offense they'll be lucky to win 11 games.

Thankfully they have history on their side being ranked #1 in offense 3 of the last four years. Probably an abiration.

[st. diehard]

Offensive PI on Shockey.

Never happened.

Not

even

close.

[Zodiac]

Also thank Childress for not going for it and not using AP in the 2nd half, AP was tearing up your line and you gotta face Frank Gore Than Micheal Turner your Line is going to be battered and broken by week 3.

[Laugher]

This was a hard fought win for the Saints sorry you don't see that, you will have your chance twice this year.

If the refs wanted they could call a penalty on every play, but man we don't have 12 hrs to watch a football game every time.

[falconsd56]

The saints d played well. Brett made some bonehead throws and the queens d line looked old especially #94. It was a good game for the saints but they probably pay the refs just as much as they pay to screw the birds over. Give credit where credit is due.

Yeah the saints defense did play well.

they got fortunate a couple times with Harvin and Farve being on totally opposite pages.

But they played well.

Not having Rice out there REALLY hurt the vikes.

The saints defense played well the second half no doubt about that.

That ball bounced after it hit his hands. There was no other view to say it didn't hit the ground.

What about the no pi on Thomas that even collinsworth called out. Yall r sore losers.

Jut get ready. Ur o isn't close to the Vikings.

[falconsd56]

watching it live it did look like a clear push off but from the other angles, it looked like just a good play on his part.

Like I said they missed some, but they miss some EVERY GAME, The refs were not near as big of factor as they were in the nfc title game.

Like I said before if Farve gave it may have been different but he was a guy who seemed to be going through the motions.

Good thing we had three drops and 2 missed fg's. This game would o been A blowout.

[Laugher]

This is the first game in a long time that I actually seen the Saints defense play like that.

Yeh AP did rush on us, I just wonder how many rushing yards we would have had if we actually ran the ball in the first half.

That cut back was killing them. Pt had it going n the second half.

Porter and Greer r superb. When our o clicks with this d. GAMEOVeR!!!!

dude that was a catch.

especially after the last couple replays it was clear that was a catch.

Like I said Refs are going to miss calls, nature of the game.

The refs were not the reason for the loss.

[Laugher]

Agreed night all work tomorrow!!

GGz Saints!

In the current form Our O is better than the Vikes, they dont have Chester Taylor anymore and Syndey rice was out thier. We'll have Mike Jenkins and our deep threat HD back. So I really dont get what your saying here as well as a fit Micheal Turner and a proven Back up in Jason snelling and a healthy Jerious Norwood. The Vikes Oline is better but in the current state our O is a lot better and our D is a **** of a lot better, be afraid it isnt going to be a walk in the park.

possibly,

The vikes dropped some chances too though, Brees should have thrown AT LEAST 1 pick.

Allen had that one right in bread basket that he dropped.

Harvin having a couple major brain malfunctions also helped the saints defense ALOT.

That said it was a good game by the saints. they tightened up in the second half and made plays when needed.

U don't know what ur team will look like come Sunday. Turner only did good one year. Hd has 13 catches n the NFL. No clue what he will add.
