Data that shows the Saints are getting hosed

This really needs to become a national story. Florio may cover it but probably no one else.

This seems like a local writer, no one will care.
It appeals to us because we always feel like we are getting hosed.

The only way to get more clicks for this writer, is to lead in the article about Brady`s "Mysterious Hit to the Chest" Roughing the passer Call that kept the Pats in the AFC Championship Game, which let the Pats back in. I think Chiefs got hosed that championship game.

Then you lead into the NFC championship game.

Then you stack it with the Statistics that this writer laid into.

Which honestly, Im either thinking this is a sloppy team or im ready to put my foil hat on and believe that there is a reason for all of these calls.

Its frustrating.

Most of the calls are legit. They just aren’t calling them evenly.

You’ve heard the saying “the refs are letting them play”? Well - that’s how they are treating our opponents. They are letting them play. But not us.

you can call a penalty on nearly every play in an NFL game if you wanted to. the criteria to do so should be "did the infraction affect the play on the field?"

if it did, then so be it.
if it did not, let it go.

Meanwhile...Green bay is plus 25 in first downs by penalty which is equally insane to me.

Im not saying every team should be equal but to have a team hurt that much (Saints) and helped (Greenbay) that much is insanity

When GB was going against the lions on Monday night football and they got not one but two hands to the face penalties on third down where they failed to convert that extended the drives. The first wiped away a 11 yard sack and allowed Rodgers to throw a TD a few plays later. The second gave the packers a first down after the lions used all of their timeouts to leave some time to get back into field goal range. It allowed the packers to run out the rest of the clock and kick a game winner as time expired.
On replay both penalties looks like he was grabbing his collar and pushing up which isn't a penalty. These calls directly impacted the outcome of the game and are inexcusable. It seems even worse then the NFCCG no call because instead of passively not calling something they actively called something incorrectly and swung the game.

Drew is not all that popular in New York as the player rep

Payton's Saints will never see another SB appearance while Goodell is Comish.
