re: Referee for Sunday

His crew didn't throw a ton of flags last season. Here's a Giants/Seahawks game from December 2013...

The breakdown:
Delay of game – 1
Offside – 1
Neutral zone infraction – 1
False start – 4
Offensive holding – 1
Hitting player out of bounds on punt – 1
Illegal touch, pass – 1
Defensive holding – 1
Face mask – 1
Illegal touch, kick – 1
Personal foul – 1

Quarter by quarter:

First – 3
Second – 6
Third – 1
Fourth – 4


You'd have to think that the Saints are the better team so having a ref that "lets them play" would be beneficial. Only one drawback is that Falcons young offensive line may be holding an inordinate amount of times - would like to see some flags thrown for that.
