re: HOW IN THE frick DOES THIS HAPPEN??

quote:

---

he was not the official covering the play.. as the white hat his sole responsibility on that play-once the pass was thrown - was the QB - nothing else. He can't call what he didn't see - if he was looking downfield watching the receiver and DB - he would not have been doing his job and would not be in the super bowl.

the 2 names that should live in Saints fan hatred forever are Patrick Turner & Gary Cavaletto

those were the 2 who missed the PI in that game

Vinovich gets the hate b/c he's the white hat and thus the crew chief, even though that area of the field is nowhere near his domain

neither Turner nor Cavaletto, to my knowledge, worked any postseason games this year

Cavaletto, however, was on Vinovich's regular season crew for this season

ETA: Turner was the 1 who had a thought about throwing the flag, but backed off... Cavaletto was the one who ran in demonstrably waving incomplete, which may have affected Turner's thought process about throwing his flag
