Eh, any time you have a team blow a 3 TD lead, of course, there's going to be crazy moments.

1 and 5 are the only ones with merit.
The clock wouldn't stop for chains, but would for automatic booth review of a play at the goal line.
If I were a Miami fan I could see arguing both 1 and 5. For 5, Hochuli would have ruled the same BS he did for Peterson sort of "for" us on the Shanle one (a safety and the ball may have been better for us).
The two to me that balance this out for me if I'm say a Houston fan watching this game: the malfunction -- if they don't wind up with that they don't pin us inside the 10 and the noise may not cause the penalties or the turnover that leads to the first score. Two gigantic missed holding calls on Ricky's 68 yard TD. The one sealing the inside especially was pulling jersey with the other hand wrapped around to boot.
Flat out the officiating sucked all around, and if I were a Miami fan I'd see it as enough to grumble, but feel like we got beat plain and simple. I think the passing while still ahead was more than enough to seal their fate (6 passes for two 3 & outs).
Similarly, while I feel robbed by the missed face mask and lame "special Ed Hochuli only" interpretation of what counts as a fumble in the Minnesota game, we let that get away plenty on our own. Two huge returns by Bush kept it close, but we just didn't finish a lot of drives when it counted.
Sounds like a bunch of Saints fans...
1. I don't know if Sharper scored or not.
2. The clock would have stopped on the pass to Colston no matter what. It stops to move the chains. The Saints would have had time to either kick a field goal or run a play.
3. You can't fumble out of bounds to stop the clock. That's a penalty too; so it's either an illegal forward pass or an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. The result is essentially the same--maybe even worse.
4. This is just stupid. It had no bearing on the final result anyway.
5. He wasn't down...the ball was coming out already and that is the rule.
What do you mean? They reversed that TD and that's when Brees had to dive in to get the points.
Had they called it correctly at first instead of calling it a TD...the clock runs out. (you had no timeouts) instead...they reviewed it and that stopped the clock and allowed another play.
Had they called it correctly, it'd be a TD. Colston fumbled the ball and then recovered it himself on the white of the goalline. So it truly would've been a reception, fumble, and TD.
There is no way in real time can you say Colston was down before he crossed the goal. It took extreme slow motion replay frame by frame to see his knee down before the ball broke the plain. If you need to blame anyone blame the Dolphins ST for not having the right personnel out there for a kick which caused them to call a TO. They had too many men on the field and would have been penalized had the Saints kicked the FGyou can copy and paste this after every week.
the only one I had an issue with was the Colston catch at the end of the half. they get it right.....then we go to the half at 24-3.
other than that...the refs were bad for both teams. there were holds on both teams. late hits..etc...incompetent refs screw both teams equally.
The fumble has to be recovered by the person who fumbles it to be advanced.no dude. the replay was clear. he had possesion when his knee was down.
Anyway...int he last two minutes of a half or game...FORWARD fumbles cannot be advanced.
correct me if I am wrong though...
But I am positive that his knee was down and he had possesion. the replay officials also agreed. They could have called that fumble and recovery as well...although i think the rule is you cannot advance a fumble in the last 2 minutes.
