You can't say smith got held that much. With that argument, EVERYONE gets held on every play... it's just a stupid argument from either side to blame officials (unless it's UGA vs. LSU or something). Either ways, the Saints won and the Falcons lost in a really great game. Could've gone either way and that's what awesome in this renewed rivalry! Good luck the rest of the season, the Saints are good - so are the Falcons... it should be fun!

It looked like Reggie was off the line of scrimmage and the wide out was on the line, which would make Reggie an ineligible receiver, right? That's what I thought the flag was for, and it seemed the Atlanta sideline was lobbying for the same thing.

Again, if you're talking about the series after the interception when the Saints were about on their own 15 or so, the call was actually for holding Henderson.

The slot receiver is covered up, and ineligible, if both he and the wide out are at the line of scirmmage when the ball is snapped.

They blew calls on both sides. This is an old article but it surveyed NFL coaches on the officiating crews. Triplette's crew is the 2nd worst crew. LINK The NFL should never send a poorly rated crew to do a primetime game that has divisional and playoff implications. Their worst crews should be doing the Detroit vs. St Louis games every week. I am glad we won but to whoever assigns crews.
