Bill Vinovich calling his first Saints game tonight since the no-call (Merged)

Very plausible indeed. But the fans are still ostracizing the wrong official. If Vinovich was even remotely derelict in his duties (within the rules at the time), I would be the first to point the finger at him.

The fans need to judge according to the realities of the situation… not according to the popular ‘conspiracy of the day’. :jpshakehead:

Well, if I remember correctly, he said he didn’t see the play. It was not his call, but there are camera angles showing watching the play from the backfield. He was far away, but had the perfect side angle that showed the hit and the ball behind the hit happening.

So, he did see the play and it was obvious to 72K+ spectators in real time (I was one of them). Vinovich may be getting too much of the blame, but this head official lied and is not exempt from blame.
