ive had the pleasure of officiaing games with several nfl and college officials. I always wanted a no bull evaluation of how I did on the field I never took it personnaly. The calls we make on the field could determine a teams season. There are now strict guidelines in place for grading officials. Every aspect of the game is looked at with a microscope and thier eval shows that. We are put in a situation you r dammed if u do dammed if u dont there r just times when they r not in good positon
Look up the game stats. All Minnesota. Turnovers cost the Vikings an easy win but they shouldn't have cost them the game because the Saint's #1 ranked offense couldn't get anywhere with the ball. Saint's needed: 6 turnovers, divine intervention on three calls in OT, home field advantage, and a 12 men in the huddle penalty to win the game.
@SoberFoe37 Yep. Minnesota dominated the Saints in the TO battle, can't disagree there. LOL
That's one of the reason for the yardage discrepancy. The Saints 2 TD drives in the second half only covered 44 total yards.
Notice also the stat freaks don't bother to bring up the Saints' huge edge in the return yardage category. Both the first 2nd half TD and the game winning FG in OT were due to huge returns on the opening kickoff.
Finally, blame Favre for throwing perhaps the DUMBEST pass ever.
@RobdaVegasMailman: Why would "stat freaks" compare returns? Saint's had 6 and Minnesota only had 2 KR's. The punt return yards were to worthless to accumulate. If both teams each had 6 KR's, I'd put my $ on Percy Harvin. Your Farve comment was dead on. The Vikings are going into their 50th season and Farve managed to throw the worst pass in their history. All he needed was 17 games to do it. I predicted that exact pass the morning I saw Farve @ camp. I predict he'll do it again in '11 too.
NFL officiating Chief ( Mike Pereira) admits it s crew blew a key call in NFC championship game effecting final outcome. ( See $20,000 fine on Bobby Mccray) This is not open for discussion. Weather you believe the Vikings deserve to lose or not. The NFL has acquiesced on the blown call, giving the Saints the win. In essence the NFL said "HEY WE BLEW IT...SORRY"
There is nothing to be debated here if you are a Vikings or a Saints fan ! PS Artie is out of Philly!
The bad PI call in OT didn't decide the game. It was first down! Everyone likes to say they "gave" the game there. Hello? It was first down!
No, you can't see all the calls that you got (or didn't get) during the game when it wasn't in your favor. Remember 08 MNF? Ring a bell? You guys went on to the playoffs (lost) and laughed at us because we complained about the bad calls (and no call) during that game. So whine all you want. It will make me happy!
Sorry Saints fans, you can call everyone whiners, sore losers or whatever and don't ever expect you to change your minds about the officiating cuz you want to believe that your team was the better team. This game, the OT especially, will always be looked at as a cheap win given to the Saints by baised refs by 3 terrible calls. Deal with it.
They call this shit talk radio host??? I'm glad this scum is way the hell down there. Another little so called man that cannot handle reality and indulges in conspiracy theories. It would have been more credible if he had shed a few tears.
Dude go crawl in a hole your a fucking moron. You don't know what you are talking about. There were two roughing the passer calls that weren't roughing the passer. There was one that should of been called.
There was one holding penalty called on the Vikings and it was obvious the corner grabbed the WR.
The pass interference was called because the defender stepped on the receivers foot while not looking for the ball.
The refs fucked the Saints on a couple of roughing the passer penalties.
@Rift2ReefAquatics bullshit dude there should of been multiple late hit valls on farve shut your lien fukn toilet he never touched the receiver watch vikings vs. saints nfc championship upon further review you ignorant dumbass
hey buddie first half of game look at calls that fucked up saints stopps that lead to ur touchdowns..u dont know anything.... shut up get over it .. noone gave saints the game brett farve did thank him for me in minnesota
Did Sapp not clearly grab Colstons jersey? Pierre Thomas clearly crossed the line with the football before it was knocked back into his groin area but he NEVER LOST CONTROL therefore forward progress is what matters.
David Thomas was tripped up by a linebacker not making an attempt on the football clearly making it pass interference.
Besides any team that has 5 turnovers deserves to lose.
You didn't watch the NFC Championship game I watched where the Saints won. Saints had 9 penalties and the Vikings had 5 penalties. The Saints won that game playing the Vikes and the refs in the first half. Vikes scored on refs giving them calls the entire first half except the first drive. Talk about that on your show.

First of all, the NFL fined McCray because he didn't avoid hitting Favre despite being PUSHED by a Viking Reciever.
In Essence, the play wouldn't have been overturned because FLAGS would've been thrown all over the play.

Your a fucking moron like Artie.
The pass interference was called because the linebacker stepped on David Thomas' foot while not MAKING AN ATTEMPT TO FIND THE BALL.
There was only one legit roughing the passer penalty and it wasn't even CALLED. It's football not soccer stop being a crying bitch.
It wasn't pass interference in the endzone on Tracy Porter but they called that.
Stop crying and sucking off Artie.

The officials handed the Saints the game on a silver platter in the overtime drive.
The whole country watched it happen..... no legitimacy in the Superbowl this year.

Name something in overtime that wasn't legit?
