Ok...let me be clear that I am in no way saying that the officials were responsible for yesterday's result. The Saints got beat by a much better team yesterday, and it wasn't the officials' fault.
With that said, the officiating yesterday was horrible. Off the top of my head:
---Several flags picked up with no explanation, one time a simple, "There is no foul on the play."
---The Chargers were flagged for having 12 men in the huddle when they actually only had 10 men in the huddle.
---Right before the safety, the Saints almost sacked Herbert, who threw the ball away. The refs quickly blew the play dead for an incomplete pass, and even announced that the ruling on the field was an incomplete pass. However, the pass hit an offensive lineman right in the chest, and he almost actually caught the ball. Shouldn't that have been a penalty?
---The pass to Kamara. AK caught the ball, and was tackled pretty quickly. It was ruled a completion. They showed us a replay showing that the ball hit the ground right as he was catching it. The refs announce that thanks to replay assist, the previous play was ruled an incompletion. Ok, I'm fine with that. I'm all for using replay to ensure they get the calls right. BUT....why is it that when Olave's catch was ruled incomplete, and they showed us multiple angles showing that it was a completion, three steps were taken, he was hit, and the ball came loose after he hit the ground, did we have to use a challenge to get that call overturned?
