It’s Walt Coleman – What do you expect?

Bad part is on the Robert Meachem reverse he get’s hit way out of bounds and then they don’t throw the flag.

Now the Meachem play was some serious “continued contact”!

It was because he was driving him back after the hit. He hits him when the ball is gone, then takes 2 steps pushing him back and then tackles him with his weight. That is legal if he had the ball, but not once it is gone.

How was Harper suppose to stop when he was running at Cutler full speed? His momentum took them to the ground. It wasn’t a late hit so Harper was within the number of steps a defensive player can take and still hit the QB after he has thrown the ball.

Bad call!!

Or a non-called roughing the passer, like the one in the 2009 NFC title game where the Saints Ayodele and Hargrove (?) deliberately tried to maim Favre to take him out of the game, which played a part in enabling the Saints to squeak out a victory and go on to the SB.

I have a brand new favorite word now.

And you notice that Sean Payton called a time out just so he could continue to cuss out the refs. Loved it.

Ummm no. I was in the Superdome and they played that hit over and over again on the video screen to get the crowd upset, so I saw it many times. He hit him exactly as he was throwing the ball, which was why the ball was short. You really need to get over Jan. 24, 2010.

Cause it is freaky….

Only a matter of time? It’s already happened several times. The NFL doesn’t care, because QBs put butts in seats and, in light of that, the league doesn’t really care if a game is thrown away.

If this were gonna be a problem, EVER, it would have been a problem after the BAL-CIN game a year ago, when two false roughing calls gave the Bengals TWO extra first downs, each of which led to a field goal, in a game ultimately decided by 5 points.

Good Ole’ Joe Buck

Both would have been good no calls, IMO.

And what happened to reviewing every touchdown? Sproles was CLEARLY out of bounds. The Saints probably would have scored anyway, but the point is if you are going to institute automatic replay after after every scoring play, get the play right.

Oh, and the reason Harper was trying to hold Cutler up was because he hit him after the ball was thrown. So yeah, it’s ticky tack, but better to call when it’s in question than let defenders blast the opposing star QB out of the game… right Saints fans?

Oh, and uhm… anybody care to explain how that one TD was ruled a TD when the guy clearly stepped out of bounds? Strange that the replay booth didn’t think that one deserved a second look too…

It’s almost like they wanted the Saints to win. But that’s just crazy talk… LOL!

…. right?

This way the defender can take the brunt of the contact going down and thus protect the fragile QB from getting hurt, to prevent less points, less highlight plays, and ultimately less revenue.

The roughing on Suh may have been a bad call, but everyone thought is was roughing when it happened and the ref didn’t get to see the slow motion replay.

Anyway, that call didn’t cost them the game. It was a first down play and Cutler went for 7 yards. Without the penalty it is 2nd down and 3 at the 15 instead of 1st and goal at the 7. Don’t see how that would have “died out” at the end of the game. There was plenty of time left (10 minutes) and Bears were marching right down the field. Next play was pass for TD to wide open TE that would have been good from 15 yards out too. Lions got ball back and couldn’t score. Bears then got ball back with 5 minutes to go and ran out the clock getting 4 more first downs.

If you don’t like the league maybe you should go join the one being started by the crazy Steelers’ fan…
