We complain about officiating but it's not just the Saints

Definitely some fishy stuff in play in other games as well.
Defensive holding calls are actually worse than pass interference these days

Defensive holding and illegal contact are get out of jail free cards for officials. Either can be called on nearly every single pass play.
Throw a flag and call out any player in coverage. Chances are at some point during the play they bumped or grabbed an opposing player.

Yep and offensive holding is the same shite if they want to call it the other way.

With the lack of offensive output by the saints this year the zebras don't even need to get involved.

I'm not an "NFL is rigged" guy but that flag on the last drive last night was brutal. The fact that he didn't throw the flag until the interception was caught was just pitiful.

Not that it mattered, but placing the ball on the 1 after the interception was a terrible call. Just bad

Two thoughts...
1) I thought the ball at the 1 was the right call. The player caught the ball and his feet hit at the one where he was pulled down into the end zone.
2) And I thought this was a critical play...The Saints DL player was pulled down and the OL player laid on top of him. The ref looked at both of them and then after a 3-4 count he threw the flag...TB threw the ball 10-12 yards down field which was 5 yards short of the first down but gave them a 40+ yard FG. Which he hit.
The ref said there was no foul. It was thrown by the Head ref who then overturned himself.
The Saints could have taken the penalty and given the Bucs a 3rd and 27 and out of FG range. I think the only reason he picked it up was because the BUCS failed to get the 1st down, but it still had an impact at the time.

We are seeing this more often this year then years past. Officials are holding flags until the play is complete to see the outcome. Its ridiculous. I don't give into the officiating conspiracy theories, but after watching the Chiefs/Jets blown calls, it might have legs.

the call in NY was clearly the league protecting it's poster child from an L in primetime

His foot landed at the 1 on the INT, but this happens all the time and 100% of instances of this in football history the team is given a touchback.

If you don't think it's all BS, just watch these guys wait for the result of the play before they throw a flag.

They throw flags when they need to throw flags.
