Have any of you seen mainstream media questioning the officiating of the game yet? I haven't, all I've seen so far is just a bunch of stroking Brady's ego. I guess it's just like the TV announcers, if they try and raise the red flag they'll conveniently get shown the door.


It's a conspiracy Man!

Lol. It's been the top story on ESPN this morning.

The only controversy ESPN is talking about is Gronk not playing.

The only storyline taken from this game will be that there was an epic battle between Brees and Brady in which Brady pulled out at the last second and that our defense sucks again.

There won't be any mention of the officiating, how Brees and the entire offense was off, how the playcalling was horrendous, and how the defense held Brady and co. to 3 points in the second half until that last second TD.

Complaining about officiating has to be the lamest thing a sports fan can do.

There's 32 NFL teams who have this subsection of fans who ALL think they got the raw end of the deal on calls either every game, some games, or just whenever.

It all evens out if you really look at it unbiasedly. There's no real reason to believe that your favorite team just so happens to always get hosed by the refs.

you really think ESPN gives a shite about the Saints? You can read their tweets during the game and see who they are rooting for.

Golic was talking about the hold on Gallette this morning on Mike & Mike. Greenburg was half-heartedly trying to downplay it (indirectly acknowledging it should have been called).

Oh, and why weren't players taking about it? Don't want to be fined for bitching about officiating.

Troy Aikman was pretty clear he thought Malcom Jenkins got screwed on that play where he was flagged for a hit on a defenseless WR.

Jenkins led with his shoulder.

what else was he supposed to do?

it is rules like this that is making the game a little ridiculous these days.

totally unfair for the DB's.

I'm not as upset with the hold as I am with the blown offside call. That took points off the board.

99% of them couldn't tell you what happened outside of the highlights. Dumbass Chris Berman just said we led the whole game.
