Mike Florio of NBC goes out of his way to insult Falcons and Brady gets ref help AGAIN

[Doctor Kildare]

"Yes, Buccaneers left tackle Donovan Smith was called twice for holding during the late Tampa Bay touchdown drives. But he should have been called for holding more than that.

Smith was holding on pretty much every pass play down the stretch. Except, of course, when Brady got rid of the ball before Smith could actually do it."

..."The Saints still had plenty of chances to not go full-blown Falcons and blow the game to Brady and the Bucs. But it should have been first and 20 from the 12, with the Bucs down 16-3."

We have no love for the Aints, but they were victimized by yet another NFL ref-aided "storyline" assisting the ageless Eighth Wonder of the World. And that two-point conversion at the the end of regulation in the Super Bowl sure looked like blatant pass interference too.

Games like last night is why a lot of Falcon fans see promise in the Arthur Smith regime. Except for opening day, the ball control philosophy of Smith looks designed to close out games and not fade late like the "fast and finesse" philosophy of past years.

After six years, Florio perhaps needs to start using the term "full-blown Saint" for blowing games late. Time after time, the Aints have provided late comedy relief for the national audience since 2017.

Until we win several SBs, people will always clown on us and even then, i doubt itll fully go away. And lets be honest, we been dog **** ever since that game. 2017 was decent but aside from that, the Falcons been terrible which doesnt help. Also doesnt help when your "promising" coach is a hypocrite and lets Mariota basically start an entire season.

I do give him credit for stating the facts when Brady's team gets extraordinary help from the refs. He did the same after Grady's "roughing" call.

[Jpg428gggg]

I really didn't care who won last night. I am not a fan of either team.

With that said, the refs hosed the Saints last night. It was like the Bucs made the decision that they were going to hold on every play and force the refs to call it. The strategy worked and NFL got what they wanted. Another Tom Brady miracle...

Yep

 

Started with that infamous Tuck Rule controversy. That's what started it all.

Florio's just upset cause inflation is killing his gerbil budget. 

[Falcons_Frenzy]

The Falcons have done it to themselves. Until they stop Falconing this is expected.

Florio is country without the tree.

Let's revisit.  I'll go first.

This is actually my favorite part of the Minneapolis Miracle.

To be fair Florio was pro falcon until we let Carolina be way to competitive both games.

This is right up there with the falcons fan hitting the cheese heads off packer fans after the 2016 championship game 😂 

Greatest moments captured on video!  Brings a tear to my eye 😢

Florio is a joke.  Anytime I ever heard his name brought up I have never heard someone have a positive opinion on him.  Not once.

We deserve all the criticism we get until we finally decide to stop being bumbling nicompoop bottom feeders.

[dodge_birds_fan]

Well, maybe we could stop doing it. Blowing leads and all. At least we barely blew any this year, we've also barely had leads this year..

Why would you post this video? Goes entirely against what you believe, that the NFL is real.

You can't plainly see that the Saints DBs have no intent to interrupt this pass or tackle the WR after the catch. They fake getting tangled-up and out of the way. This is one of the videos used by those saying the NFL fixed.

Perfect, good job finding this!

Yeah but that doesn't me we can't react to it.

Exactly. We blew a 16-point lead in the 4th quarter to the Saints just this year. 

[Brookings]

Welcome to the new NFL! It's unwatchable!

[Drunken Minotaur Zebra]

Now y'all ************* got me watching Aints fan reactions to the Minneapolis Miracle at work. Oh well, can't be mad.
