I'd say it was pretty close, impact-wise, so STFU Falcons fans. This post was edited on 11/3 at 7:23 a.m.

Everyone want to be the team to knock off the Saints. When they don't, they resort to (1)complaining about the refs, (2) saying they aren't impressed with Brees, the defense, etc. Psychologically, it gives them some peace "knowing" it wasn't that the Saints were just the better team. I'm not a psychologist, but I play one on the internet.

Only "bad" call was Vilma probably should have been hit for DPI on the pick 6, though in quick speed it was probably close. It was mentioned that the hold everyone talks about going our way was the right call, but it wasn't on Bush, it was on Henderson. As far as the calls (and no-calls) that went ATLs way instead...there's not enough room in this post. We should have only had 2 turnovers, and recovered the onside kick, to name a few differences. Oh, and they should have had a good 300 yards in holding penalties on the guy "blocking"(choking) Smith.

TexasTiger6777 Surrounded by Longhorns and Aggies Member since Jan 2008 988 posts	re: Falcons Fans Crying About Officiating (Posted on 11/3/09 at 9:04 a.m. to Eternalmajin) on the play where Ryan threw the ball after Will Smith almost stripped him, that looked like a hold on the ATL offensive lineman. when I watched the catch devery made on the 2 or 3 yard line, it looked like he may have pushed off. vilma, could have been called on the pick six for a penalty Roddy White very clearly pushed off on Greer for his td. Both teams had calls and non calls This post was edited on 11/3 at 9:05 a.m.
