People keep saying that its in retaliation for pushing the PI replay rule through but this has been going on for years. @Dallas last year, @atl the year before seattle in both 2013 games, every time we play NE, and just about every game through the 3 straight 7-9 seasons. The other team’s DBs are allowed to be all over our WRs, but if we even breath while the ball is in the air and its DPI.
Yes and no imo. Yes, the officiating has been unbalanced against the Saints for years. That's pretty obvious. That said, there's more to the story this season with the addition of reviewable pass interference. I do think the refs as a group have taken issue with the new rule and are obnoxious about not overturning their initial calls on the field.People keep saying that its in retaliation for pushing the PI replay rule through but this has been going on for years. @Dallas last year, @atl the year before seattle in both 2013 games, every time we play NE, and just about every game through the 3 straight 7-9 seasons.

And that is how you win eight out of ten and without getting the sack. Wonder what the table would look like if the flag wasnt picked up. No I don't I know what it would look like.This makes me think back to a play from years ago, where a flag was thrown and then picked up by the ref... with an explanation along the lines of:
“There is no flag on the play for offensive holding, the defender continued to fight through the play; negating the foul.”
I know that I’m not entirely crazy... does anyone else remember this?
