I like the way Saints fans are so quick to dismiss the lying and illegal bounty program. If nothing else, both are disgusting.
——————————-
Here’s a news flash – if you have no bounty program, and the Commissioner has no credible evidence that you have a bounty program, and you tell the Commissioner you have no bounty program, it ain’t lyin’.

You say SD fans are “whining”, but then you agree that the calls were terrible? Make some sense.
——————–
The fact that (1) you’d miss the obvious sarcasm and (2) you’d attack someone offering support leads me to believe you’re not that bright.

And yes, a Seahawk fan knows plenty about bad calls. You can focus on the one time we benefitted, but it’s the 50 or so times we got hosed that give us credentials that you hope you never have.

Get over it – Saints won, Chargers lost.

Sure the refs make bad calls, happens every time there is a football game and to every team–they are only human, if you expect perfection then you’re barking up the wrong tree.

The refs also made questionable calls that were in favor of the Chargers too.

Oh, and for those that say the game was fixed because it was in the Superdome–didn’t they lose a game in the Superdome this year? Guess that game wasn’t fixed, huh? You guys are just desperate to find something to cling to so that to you, the win doesn’t count–well to the NFL – IT DOES!

And the roughing the passer call–I saw it and didn’t see it as bogus at all–get over it, game is over.

And Brees was good IN SAN DIEGO but Rivers was gar and away better. It wasn’t until Brees got to the Saints and that system until he became the player he is. If he was a 4000 yards/yr qb do you think ANY GM would just let him walk? No. He was a solid qb that struggled against the pass rush and folded under pressure. And I’m sure if he were to come back to the chargers system he would have the same struggles. Rivers never had that problem and looks better AS A CHARGER than Drew Breeds ever did. What I’m holding my breath for is for SD to commit to protection the same wah the Saints have with Brees. That’s when you’ll see the real Rivers come alive.

I’m sick of all this River’s vs Brees talk. There is no comparison. Brees has had a better career. Both are pro bowl qbs. I’m still a huge Brees fan, it’s just sad to hear “Brees is better” because he’s in a perfect system for him. Funny how people say he hot better after an injury but completely discount him changing teams. The saints was perfect for him and things just didn’t work out in SD. Watching him his entire career if someone were to ask me if I would want Brees back today over rivers I would absolute say no.

1. The bogus roughing the passer call, that robbed S.D. of a 30 yard td pick [game would've been sealed S.D. 31- N.O. 14 right there] Which w/ the 15 yds, N.O. turned the momentum into a t.d.

2. The no-call on the obvious pass-interference on Gates, would’ve turned 3rd down into 1st, when S.D. had possesson on N.O. field.

2. The cheap OPI call on Gates that sliced away 28 yd gain, minus 10 yds making it 2nd & 27

3. The frivolous hold on the Chargers negating another 22 yd. play and 1st down, instead making it 3&37.

I don’t wanna hear anything about a meager 5 yd. call on N.O.’s D somehow balanced this debacle out, when in that possession S.D. lost 27 yds to the Saints mere 5. Could’ve easily been called PI on the Saints instead – area where the flag was thrown (about a 35 yd penalty), but was not.

The officials robbed San Diego of a win, which will get swept under the rug soon enough.

that said, it doesn’t matter because it’s san diego

if we would have kept brees and sent rivers packing, rivers would have multiple sbs somewhere, while brees would have probably already been out of the nfl with a torn labrum that never healed correctly

and if we’d somehow kept eli instead of drafting rivers, same thing, rivers would have multiple sbs and eli would have been ryan leaf part II

because in san diego, people don’t win……

gwynn, tomlinson, fouts, seau……..you just don’t ultimately win in san diego

it’s a shame.

Just take a look…who needed a win more last night to stay relevant? If you said the Saints, you’d be following along nicely….hence the late ticky tack offensive penalties thwarting a late comeback. Those calls were just plain laughable.

Case No. 2….either the Colts have some of the best OL players as both starters or backups or it’s impossible to get a holding penalty called in the dome. Green Bay brought player after player all game and drew a grand total of ZERO holding penalties. Let’s see, what better way to get Luck come pub and the Pagano story as feel good? How about swallowing the whistle all game long and jamming Green Bay yet again? Check.

The NFL and NBA are exactly the same. Embarrassingly concerned about one thing only. Cash.

and the writer of this article says that the Chargers made the right call keeping Rivers over Brees…

These two people must either be related or taking the same drugs. Brees is a bigger role model than 99% of the NFL, and count how many playoff games the Chargers won with Rivers compared to the Saints with Brees….they can have Rivers

I like the way Saints fans are so quick to dismiss the lying and illegal bounty program. If nothing else, both are disgusting.

Nevertheless a record is a record. Sorry to see it go.

Is Jackie Battle still atop the depth chart?

——————————–

Not going to happen. The media is not fair and objective. They got their headlines with the replacement refs (ie. people they knew weren’t going to be around long term so they could bully them). They won’t out the regular refs after spending all that time trumpeting how much better they are, it would make the talking heads look bad. It’s easier to sweep it under the rug.

The Chargers held the entire game and were rarely called for it!!

Nobody does it better.

The officiating in that game made the Green Bay/Seattle game look fair and correct.

That was a travesty.
————————–
No, what is a travesty is that the NFL Commissioner treats the suspended Saints coach like he is some Guantanamo Bay Terrorist. I hope Roger Dodger is comfy in that same hermetically sealed booth for this year’s Super Bowl. It may be the only place in town he will have a moment’s peace or a decent meal that whole week.

And I hate Norv and his Chargers.

By the way, the fact that Colston has suffered far more than his share of injuries is precisely why he is not rated so highly as you think he should be. Durability is just as important as good hands & route running.

-Chargers had 7 penalties for 56 yards

-Saints had 10 penalties for 99 yards

Oh wait…stats don’t support that statement!
