Sorry, but the refs contributed to a 14 point swing in the Giants favor in the first half. The notion that the Saints needed the refs to beat the Giants is for sore losers.

We did get a couple of favorable calls, but the Saints definitely beat the Giants regardless of those calls.
It's pretty much a wash as he was 7-8 yards down the field. Wrong call, same basic result: the play comes back. It's like calling tripping when there was no trip but you were tugging the guy's arm and holding.Honestly, I didn't see him hold on that play. He may have been illegally down field, but I don't think he was guilty of holding.
I've noticed that the really good teams seem to get a lot of calls go their way. Just watch the Patriots and Steelers. It's always been that way. Maybe it's our turn to be on the right side of those calls.
I thought it was officiated well. I don't see how we got favoritism.
If you look, on the same play, there was a crackback block that should have been called. So...
It was a penalty just not holding. He basically dove at the back of will smiths legs. Holding wasn't the right term but definitely a penalty. Rewatch the play and you'll see him
Take Smith out right before the throw.
Cuz he's Sean Ohara and He's AWESOME!on NFL replay that you want to be playing the team and no one else, as if to imply they lost because of the refs.
I guess that he conveniently forgot to mention that he was 2-3 yards past the line of scrimmage on that play.
Either way there was a foul on that play.
