Referee for our next game
I’ll pull the numbers when I get home if no one already has.
Alright, Boger has been in the white hat for 15 games during the Payton Era and the Saints have a 9-6 overall record in that span with splits of 2-4 in the Superdome and 7-2 on the road.

His 2019 crew has 3 officials that differ from his 2018 crew, but majority are the same when including him.
In those 15 games, we’ve been flagged significantly more than our opponents only once (back in 2008) while we’ve been on the beneficial end of having our opponent flagged significantly more than us in 4 of those games. However, I wouldn’t be surprised to be flagged a good bit on Sunday due to how sloppy our play has been regarding penalties the first couple of weeks. Especially along the offensive line, which Boger’s crew last year were very flag heavy on against both teams in our Week 14 game in Tampa Bay, which came a week after the League office reported wanting an emphasis placed on offensive holding.
