Is it really down to OBJ and Whitworth vs. Burrow and Chase? Seems like everyone is pulling for Cincinnati.

Why stop at just that one bad call?


Because that wasn't the prototypical "bad call". It was a blatant no call with 99.99% of the people watching know the Saints got screwed, except for maybe Andrew Whitworth. It basically stopped the Saints from going to the Super Bowl at that moment.

If it wasn't for that no call, Whitworth was watching from home, except he watched themselves get destroyed...

I'm going to enjoy watching them lose again..

He has no class over that call. He’ll be the last one crying in 2 weeks.

So just make up new categories for penalties? Were there any other incorrect penalties? Any?

Can't just correct one. Gotta correct 'em all.

I think he’s been a great player for a long time and I respect that. But I will say this… I’ve been around LSU for a long time and I’ve met a ton of players… even Tigers who played in the 1920s. But there was only ever one player who was unfriendly to me: Andrew Whitworth.

Maybe he was in a bad mood that day or not in the mood to return a respectful “hello, nice to meet you.” But I was really put off by his demeanor.

I was a Cub Scout leader for 5 years and Big Whit was always nice to the boys (pics, autographs) backstage at the Miss Louisiana pageant. The boys held the flag just before the pageant while the national anthem was being played. His wife is one of the hosts of the pageant and their Foundation is one of the sponsors.

So what happened? Second time I have seen the hate. I absolutely love this dude why that hate?

Does this have to do with the saints or something?

When was this? College? I would think guys change a bit as the get older. Or is he full of himself and thinks he's a bamf and acts like it at all times?

How about our TE not drop a ball in his hands in the end zone in the first quarter making that last drive meaningless.

That call didn’t cost the saints the game, the saints cost the saints the game.

As someone who grew up in Monroe, all my friends were Saints fans. I didn't know anyone in Monroe who was/is a Cowgirl fan.

I am sure there ARE a few unstable people (and/or native Texans) in Monroe who prefer the Cowboys over the Saints, but to suggest that they are any where close to the majority in my fair city is ludicrous and an insult which I cannot let go unchallenged:)

I'm a life-long Rams fan, and also a Tigers fan of course.

Been rooting for Burrow and Chase throughout the season and playoffs.

But on February 13 it is Whitworth and OBJ all the way!

Go Rams! Go Tigers!

Yes, Cowboys fandom starts as you move to the western side of north Louisiana, Shreveport is Cowboys territory, but not Monroe.

Well I happen to know the man and he is an LSU Tiger 100%. We are not blood brothers but I do know him and he has always supported LSU.

I don’t know what your problem is with Whitworth but it’s YOUR problem.

Yeah I am kinda torn but I gotta go with Burrow, Chase, and Shelvin. I bet all the recruits were watching the Bengals this weekend. If Burrow and company wins the Superbowl in his 2nd year with the Bengals after they were 2-14 in 2019 it would be simply amazing.
