I think what cost the Saints the game wasnt two penalties that kept drives alive.

I think it was allowing a 40 yard pass to the TE on 4th and 2 with less than a minute left in the game, that kept a drive alive is what cost the Saints the game


It was both. The Saints were jobbed in sequence of bad calls that gave the 49ers the ball and extended their drive twice after 3rd down stops.

There were a lot of reasons the Saints lost. The refs were definitely one of them.

I don’t understand why so many people continue to defend the NFL in the face of so many terrible calls.

The Saints are averaging 7.9 penalties per game, which ranks eighth-worst in the NFL. That’s turned into 68.3 penalty yards per game, nearly the equivalent of an offensive drive downfield after good starting field position. It’s kept a number of opposing drives alive, with New Orleans’ opponents gaining the second-most first downs by penalty per game (2.8) in the league. And as the chart above demonstrates, the teams playing the Saints are not being held to the same standard. Those opponents are averaging the fewest penalties per game (5.3) and penalty yards surrendered per game (40.6) in football, granting the Saints the second-fewest first downs by penalty per game (0.92) around the NFL


That’s crazy how all the various Saints opponents magically become incredibly disciplined when they face the Saints.

NFL and MSB NFL apologists:

They did frick up one scoring drive and basically hand the 49ers a TD, but I wouldn’t say they cost them the game. Saints has plenty of opportunities.

The blow to the head penalty was really unfortunate luck. The SF player grabbing his head like his brain exploded to sell it was gross
This was a four point gift to SF. The only call I was bothered by.

Two very questionable 3rd down penalties that kept the niner drives alive (which they eventually scored).

Very questionable no holding call on the fake punt the Saints ran that would extended their drive.

Not to say the Saints didn't hurt themselves with pussy arse tackling against Kittle on that last drive. However, they aren't in that situation if the awful 3rd down calls weren't made in favor of SF.

The other two losses have no officiating to blame. Although there are stats to back up the claim that there is some shady officiating tactics for Saints games.

You've never been a clever poster. Not surprising this thread isn't either.

Seems like that's the only way the Saints ever really lose so I'd love to hear from their fans to explain this loss.


The OPI on Mt13 was totally bullshite and cost us at least 3 points.

Personal foul on CJGJ was also total bullshite and turned a FG into a TD.

Defense still sucked arse though
