Saints: 21 penalties for 244 yards in eight quarters
Almost every time we've had a big return, we get called for a block in the back or an illegal block of some kind. It's become a joke. The other teams apparently never do this when they play us. Same thing with intentional grounding. Brees gets called for it, but how many times have we seen another QB do it in games against us but not get called. The officiating was better last night than in the first Atlanta game b/c at least we didn't have the phantom hands to the face calls or holding calls almost every drive, but I still think the refs are being extra critical with us and looking for things to call.
