Well, if there ever was a game that warranted it, I'd say this was it.

Have you ever heard a crybag fan say otherwise? I don't doubt your sincerity, and I take your point about being an inveterate crybag being a different level. Still, it always begins and continues based on the "if there ever was..." logic. The Viking crybags with a conference title on the line, or the Seahawks in the Super Bowl have more an "if ever", but I still think they're douchy crybags.

Hell, I swear with the best of them during the game and right after, I just don't spend three days on a forum crying about refs. Hell, a half hour after the game I'm *****ing about our inability to get first downs to ice it and have forgotten about any calls. No calls stopped us from those two tries at one single first down, even when given a helluva pick to stop Brady's try number 2.

Just went over to the SSF. It was a mistake. The crybagging is at an all time high. Normally I enjoy the but there are so many right now that it's just too hard to keep up. Our fans have gotten way to spoiled. It was a tough road game against one of the best teams in the NFL for the last 15 years or so. We came back from down 10 and came up short in the end because we could not gain 10 yards. It sucks, but the team played hard and gutted it our despite Brees having a really bad day and being confused by what the Pats were doing on defense.

Nothing about this game prevents the team from going a long way in fact, it gives them some motivation. If you are going to lose, losing to a team from another conference on the road is the way to do it. Crybags.

NO NO NO the NFL rigged the game so that the Patriots would win. Duh :aargh:. Im no crybag

It's Monday night, hardly three days. It's gonna be a long two weeks for the SSF. I've been a lifelong Saints fan, and this seriously is the first time I've ever come away feeling like the officiating was deliberately trying to dictate the outcome of the game. It felt worse than an NBA game, and that's saying something.

I haven't forgotten the missed opportunities or the terrible officiating. I'm over it, but seeing more of that kind of officiating makes the game unwatchable and in the end will cause people to question the integrity of the NFL as a game.

You can look back on my posting history and know that I'm pretty level headed when it comes to crappy officiating, but this was easily the worst I've seen in nearly 40 years of watching and being around football.

about is funny though.

Over 400 posts in the main crybag thread, with it in the most recent 3 active threads late Tuesday, and you see it as dying down before tomorrow night?

I'm not singling you out as a crybag, just the masses drinking each others' tears on the SSF this week. This crying is going to last through the bye/cry weekend. I've never seen this kind of outpouring from Who Dats.

What? I've seen far worse. The Brooks days makes this positively tame. The tears flowed the entire season. Now you may be right, but it's still only two days after. If it's as bad next week as it is right now, I'll be right with you.

This officiating isn't even close to how the refs used to cheat for the 49ers back in the day. That was egregious. Disgusting. Obvious. And cheesy.

This patriots game could easily be explained by incompetence. Not that niners stuff.

This was meh. We easily should have still won. In the niners days, the refs weren't letting you win, no matter what.

 

[Galbreath34]

Exactly, and most of the time we got drunk and moved on. Complaining about players or the team for days/the entire season is a far "cry" from refwhining.

I guess too, when I see us have two three and outs, one on their 24 yard line and no calls against us to stop us, it's hard to see a call later or before as even 1% as significant as those failures to just move the chains once and take another 2:10+ of the clock, or Heaven forbid, get in the zone to ice it.

Jerry Rice fumbling at the 1 and punching the padded wall in the Dome then turning around to see it's a touchdown; that was a lot tougher to take.

 

[buzd]

I agree with Galbreath. Blecch.

 

[OhioSaintsFan]

I feel the same way about agreeing with Mongeese.

 

[Galbreath34]

Even a busted clock is right twice a day.

Crap, that's not even true with digital. I don't even agree with myself.

I've said it once and I'll say it one last time. Incompetence doesn't fit here. If it really were incompetence, there would be bad calls both ways. There wasn't, so it doesn't apply here.

You know, I lived and breathed those days, and yeah, the 9ers got plenty of friendly officiating, but it wasn't nearly as many bad calls in any one game as I saw here.

FWIW, the 9ers cheated far more than the refs did back in that day.

But yeah, I sorta agree.

I can recall just last year when we refwhined for weeks on end. Or was that two years ago? During and after the lockout of the officials.

But you're right though. You won't see me in posting in the refwhining threads the rest of the week, heh.

I feel the same way about agreeing with Mongeese.

You love it. It feels good to hate the cobras. Give in.
