Pass Interference (1 Viewer)

Watching RedZone channel and it’s funny how other teams can mug receivers without getting a flag.

So many plays with no laundry that we would have certainly gotten a flag on. Very disheartening.

The media faves get to play by their own rules. Makes me wonder why I keep watching....

Because officiating crews watch film, looking for infraction tendencies. I think that’s sort of crappy. That’s why we get the ticky tack calls against us. I don’t think they should be looking for certain things to infract. They should only be making obvious calls.

It’s clear that the Saints are known as a “pass interference team” and I don’t know if that designation will ever go away. Luckily (for them) the Seahawks legion of boom was designated as “they just play hard” instead of interfere...

Up here in WNY, I see the Bills every week, and my Dad and I comment on this a lot. It’s nice to see games without P.I. and illegal contact flags on every other passing play.

They must be reviewing Saints film only, then.

Did anyone see that nonsense int the refs just gave the Rams? Like, that might actually be corruption. They were getting manhandled and then the refs gave them an interception in proably the worst call I've seen all year. Immediately went down and scored a TD on the shell shocked Bills where still trying to figure out what just happened.

Refs don't call what happens. They call reputation.

Also, I'm certain they're holding a grudge against us insanely because of the Rams game.

Going back a few years ... but does anyone else remember the 2013 Saints game at New England (box score link below)? Patriot cornerback Aqib Talib completely stoned Jimmy Graham -- six targets for Graham, zero receptions.

How did Talib accomplish this? By grabbing Graham's hand or forearm every single time the ball was in the air. Credit to Talib for not doing the obvious hooking-arms thing that refs catch all the time, but otherwise it was DPI every time. At the time, the Seahawks DBs were masters of this same technique.

Had Talib tried to play strictly within the rules and aimed to defend by getting position, playing the ball, etc. ... the much larger Graham would've just bodied Talib out of the way to make catches all afternoon. Belichick knew what was up.

The Saints secondary just needs to stop grabbing the receivers arms as they’re running - that’s what they keep calling them on.

What the Saints DBs need to do is not let receivers get behind them. They are always in “chase” mode and can’t even look back.

I’d normally agree, but every other team can apparently play like that without getting penalized.

idk...saw Cowboys get called for 3 on one drive today

 

[NO Saint]

A lot of times it seems that the receiver pulls our defenders hand to his body to make it look like PI. The officials are not hard to fool.

If they didn't get burned so much, they might not need to grab arms, lol.
