Dolphin fans overreaction Monday: Refs

Wow. I like going to other boards after a Saints win, not to troll, just to read opposing fan's opinions on the game. In doing so, you're bound to run into a couple of threads all about how "The refs just gave this game to the Saints." I mean you can make that argument for any team in any loss. But I've never seen fans so bitter as these Dolphin fans. Wow, I know it was a hard loss for them, I've been there for some Saints losses like that but wow. They are bitter.

Seems to me like the referees had money on the Saints and their spread.

1) Sharper DID fumble into the endzone on that interception that Ted Ginn caused.

2) Right before halftime ONLY 5 SECONDS LEFT, the receiver's knee was DOWN before the endzone but the refs called a TD, giving them a score. We had to challenge it and all of this stopped the clock. If the refs make the OBVIOUS CORRECT CALL, the player is down, and the 5 seconds runs out and we go into halftime up 24-3.

3) Camarillo's penalty in our final drive. That wasn't a forward pass. He didn't throw it AHEAD of him, he threw it SIDEWAY's. Can't that also be interpreted as a LATERAL PASS which is completely legal? What a bogus call.

4) Then in the same drive, the Dolphins spike the ball with 1 second left. Suddenly, referees want to end the game and come up with a mysterious motion penalty and end the game for us without giving us a chance to score a final TD.


5) The fumble right before the half. Bess was down....it was clear. It just seems like the refs were playing against us. Felt like they didn't want the Fins to screw with the spread.

Coulda sworn I saw the linesman pull a Fleur De Lis out of his *** at one point.

The NFL needs to put in a 10 second run off for situations like the one that happened right before the half. The Saints were out of timeouts and if the correct call is made on the field there is no way they get down there to spike the ball or run a play. Instead the clock is stopped and they get to run another play. They should have to either use a TO, which they did not have, or there should be a run off.

Saints fans dont talk BS when you know you lucked out hardcore on this one. Take the win and fall to the angry Falcons next week. Good luck, try winning games with Breesus' legs again.

Some of them are being a bit logical about it, but for they most part they are angry. I kinda feel bad for them. Plus there's one Saints fan being a total troll.
