Agreed.
4 Southern California refs with Bill Vinovich not even getting his fellow refs to huddle to get the correct call. This call was blatant and right out in the open.

quote:only the covering official had a view of the play all of the other officials were on their keys(especially the white hat whose only key at that point is the QB) look at the bills of their caps all are pointed at their keys.

You can make a case that the lack of a call isn’t as egregious as Saint’s fans make it out to be.
The closest referee is on the midfield side of the play. It’s possible that from his angle, the ball and contact happens simultaneously. Without a direct shot with referee, contact, and ball all in a straight line, can’t tell. Same can be said from the back judge’s angle. The pic posted that all Saints fans point out, does not paint a clear picture of PI. If the ball is past the play, contact can be made.
I do think PI should have been called. But I don’t think it’s as bad of a blown call as Saints fans think.
