Mike Periera says it's all good

Then please explain how this does not qualify? Here is the definition.

Periera can go frick himself

Not shocked

Penalty: (for (a) through (i)): Loss of 15 yards from the succeeding spot or whatever spot the Referee, after consulting with the crew, deems equitable. If the foul is by the defense, it is also an automatic first down.

(p) Jumping or standing on a teammate or opponent to block or attempt to block an opponent’s kick.

(q) Placing a hand or hands on a teammate or opponent to gain additional height to block or attempt to block an opponent’s kick.

(r) Picking up a teammate to block or attempt to block an opponent’s kick

(s) Running forward and leaping in an obvious attempt to block a field goal or Try Kick and landing on players, unless the leaping player was originally lined up on the line of scrimmage when the ball was snapped.

Then every team should hold down the center and try to jump on every FG or PAT for the rest of the year.

It's the "and landing on a player(s)" that made it legal. Both parts have to be true to be a penalty. I still can't believe it's legal to drag the center down to jump over him. That's the part I'm still griping about

---

Yep by the rule it was legal but bs that someone can hold the center down like that.

Thought the long snapper was a defenseless player and could not be engaged

Periera... in all the times I've watched him... has been fair and when an official's screwed up he's called them out on it

I think we all agree now the leap was fine... the obvious 2 bones of contention would be the potential hold of Drescher & Evans to allow the leap to not be leverage

and of course... the fact that Parks stepped out of bounds

Your poor lying eyes. It was a figment of your imagination

I guarantee the saints will get a flag if they ever try this type of block.

basically this.

i remember one year the Saints got flagged for defensive holding on a fricking FG attempt at the end of the game. Of course the kicker missed the kick on that play but then nailed it on the next try. Mid 2000's.. fricking crap.

just shitty arse luck when it all comes down to it.

but if we had not turned the ball over so much today the game doesn't likely come down to that.

its refreshing that we were even in the game despite all those turnovers.. the defense played hard I thought.

btw, what god damn difference would it make if Periera sided with us? It'd just piss me off more honestly

It's legal to hold or push someone down in the back. That is the definition of an illegal block in the back. Also looks like his hands hit his helmet which is also a penalty. And then there is holding.

3 separate penalties. None called.
