Saints OLine: guilty of single worst play of the season - TMQ

Single Worst Play of the Season -- So Far: Trailing 26-20 at City of Tampa, the Saints faced fourth-and-2 on the Buccaneers' 4-yard line with 3:24 remaining. Backup head coach Joe Vitt, sent in for injured starting head coach Sean Payton, decided to go for it. Drew Brees play-faked and rolled right. The New Orleans offensive linemen faked a zone block left -- and then all five Saints' offensive linemen simply stood there watching as Brees scrambled madly, making no attempt to block or help.
Bad enough the call was a pass. When Brees threw an interception into the end zone, the Bucs took possession on their 20: a failed run would have pinned City of Tampa against its own goal line with three minutes to play and New Orleans holding all its timeouts.
But it's fourth down at the endgame and all five New Orleans offensive linemen simply brushed their men then turned around to watch the play, making no attempt to do anything. New Orleans offensive line -- you are guilty of the single worst play of the 2011 season. So far.

City of Tampa leading 26-20 at the endgame, the Bucs completed a pass on third-and-9. With starting head coach Sean Payton out injured, backup head coach Joe Vitt challenged the ruling -- though the pass obviously was complete. Vitt lost his challenge and the Saints were docked a timeout they could have used later.
I disagree that the pass was obviously complete and it was a pivotal play that if it had been overturned would've forced TB to punt.

he should have challenged well before the 2 minute warning so even if he lost the challenge, he'd basically get the time out back. total shite show at the end of that game.

I agree with the poor timing of the challenge, but I don't agree that it was a bad challenge

Post that shite in the locker room along side the contract figures of Evans and Bushrod.

I think the nose of the ball hit the ground but probably not enough to overturn.

when he rolled over you can clearly see the ball moving and him readjusting his hands. since the ball had hit the ground prior to this, then it should've been incomplete. yet another crap call by the refs.
As per the article, the O-Line has been extremely dissapointing this season. our fill-in tackles are playing better than our "all-pro" guards and center

made it all the more aggravating when the ref said the call was confirmed as a catch...

Ouch... been a while since the Saints were guilty of TMQ's worst play of the season so far. Not a good sign.
