Last two weeks, only 2 penalties called against our opponant. (an obvious offsides against the skins and a holding in OT). I have seen TWO penalties aginst the Dirtybirds and no flags.

It's not that the Saints aren't commiting penalties. It's that the Falcons are doing the same things and getting away with it.

Coastal it has more to do with Refs biasing for the underdog, not some kind of conspiracy.

Against NE, I have no idea, but against teams that are struggling or injured, refs tend to give them a lot of calls against dominant teams, unlike in college football or the NBA.

It's getting ridiculous though.

I don't think it's a conspiracy against the Saints or anything, but honestly I don't think a theory like that is nearly as farfetched as some would think after hearing some of the crap that's going on in the NBA.

Indy has been the exact opposite, getting nearly all of the calls. So there goes that.

You can all you want at the notion, but the officiating has been getting blatantly more tilted against the Saints as the season has gone on. I posted last week the stats of the teams we recently played, and how they conveniently stop making penalties when they play us. Anyone that actually watches the game can see the game is far from evenly officiated: Our opponents are getting away with nearly anything, including the same shite the refs are deciding to flag us for in the same game.

At some point the stupidity in believing "there's no way the games could be called unfairly" should stop. Open your eyes and actually watch the way the flags have been stacked against us.

Perhaps, but damn they have to be out of money by now don't they?

I'm struggling to figure out why it's been going this way. Because we've said we're going for perfection and the Colts are claiming they will rest starters? Because if someone DOES go perfect, the NFL can't use the "will this team be the first to be perfect since the '72 dolphins???" crap?

I literally laughed out loud when i read this thread title and the original post...this shite is ridiculous. anyone who watched the redskins game last week and would start a thread like this to complain about anti-saints bias HAS to be joking...no one can be that stupid right?

Why? Because the reviews got the calls right?

Anyone who watched the redskins game last week and didn't think it was an absolute joke they only had 2 penalties for 15 yards (and only after a late holding call) HAS to be joking as well.


And I was shocked that the PI call actually went against ATL. But, it takes shoving a WR 3 yards off route and away from the ball to finally get the call.

the game is over, they aren't going to change the outcome..it isn't going to change anything...you can admit that review in OT AND the meachem strip and score were both lsu-alabamaesque in terms of bullshite.
