re: Saints still need to publicly call out ref incompetence.

I’m not even surprised at this point, I expect shite like this now sadly. It appears to happen more to the Saints than anyone (frick Goodell) but the incompetence is apparent in every game basically l.
What I do not get is why no one is held accountable. Why can a coach or player be crucified by the media or league, suspended, fined, fired, etc. yet referees are not only not held to the same standard...they have no standard! We occasionally get an “official statement” or “apology” but that’s the end, so these people have no incentive to get better.
Why is this?? Infuriating

Can anyone say why they ran off ten secs after it was an official l/booth review???
I can
the call for an official review stopped a running clock in an under 2:00 situation
the 10 second run-off (or use of a timeout by a team)... is essentially a way to make up for the officials having to stop a running clock for a replay review
where referee John Hussey and the replay officials screwed up was not resetting the clock back to the time where the play actually ended (:41) and doing the 10 second run off from there
the Saints should've had :31 left... not :16

It's funny, even the Local Los Angeles sports show, which is ON THE OFFICIAL RAMS STATION, was railing about the refs last night, both for the runoff mistake AND the bullshite roughing the kicker. And these are guys who always downplay the non-call because they are Rams apologists. It was actually kind of refreshing.

The problem I have is the reaction of the public with this. Literally no one is really talking much about this situation (other than us) at all which in turn leads to nothing really being addressed to correct mistakes. This was not a "judgement" mistake. It was an absolute mismanagement of the rules and nothing is in place to stop it from happening again.
I go back to my original statement of the reaction to this not being bigger. Let's say this exact mistake happens but let's change the scenario. Let's pretend it's the NFC championship and the Saints (or any team for that matter) are down by 1. If the situation would have been different, this mistake would be the topic of every talk show or radio discussion nationwide. Although the mistake is exactly the same, the timing of this mistake changes everything and therefore, as usual, the NFL continues to not address or fix anything. It just sucks that the fans support this league by pumping money into it and it's flaws of officiating are nowhere close to being fixed. Timing is everything apparently.

no need...the entire Sports world already have.

Well, above, you'll see that I posted about the morning sports radio show in Los Angeles spending an entire segment on how egregious it was... so it's not true that no one is talking about it

Agreed. I'm comparing the attention to last year's no call in NFC championship. Truth is, this mistake was bigger than the no call. The no call was a judgement mistake. Last night was totally wrong. Nothing to do with judgement, just totally not knowing how to enforce a rule. But again the no call was at the end of a championship game.

The kicker didn't actually even get hit. His leg landed on CGJ

It was also an error that was made by the review. You simply can't screw up the rule book after it goes to review.

You can when your product isn’t a true sport. When you rule out the idea that the NFL is a “sport” in the traditional sense of the word, with rules and procedures in place to interpret them correctly and fairly, anything the NFL does is understandable. There’s no need for accountability, consequences, or fairness. Suggestions for such are trivial to the NFL or those complicit with their agenda (ratings).

Because the clock was winding after the play. In those situations they run off 10 seconds to roughly simulate the time that would be lost if the offense ran up to the line and spiked the ball. It’s so that the offense doesn’t get an extra timeout in a critical situation.
So I get why they do it...but they still grossly botched it.
The Thomas play ended at 41 seconds and they rushed to the line and Drew ran a sneak as the whistle bee with the clock at 26 seconds. They reviewed the catch. Determined it was good and a first down and then did the run off from 26 to 16 when it should have been from 41 to 31.
31 seconds and a TO, hell we might have scored a TD. As it was, we only had time for 1 play and a long FG attempt.
Refs botched it. Right call but wrong time reference. They had the video in front of them and still got it wrong.

I disagree with you on the roughing though. You simply can’t touch the kicker in that situation. Y

Well can you two exchange phone numbers and go text each other your nut job BS and say the fck off this board while the men talk about the Saints?
Posted on 9/10/19 at 1:45 pm to Anaximander
They would be calling out their own club co-run by 31 other owners.
Not the same thing as calling out a politician or another country.
Careful what you wish for.
