I didn't think that there was even a question that there is a large disparity this season between the Saints being penalized and their opponents being penalized... I have watched the games... that's been pretty clear...
I really don't care about the raw number of penalties... I am more concerned with "are they legitimate calls / non-calls"... You know - "context" and "substance"
Because that's the difference between "they're out to get us" and "we need to stop killing ourselves".... what I have seen (vast majority) is our team being undisciplined and killing themselves with legitimate penalties on a regular basis...
That said... I do think Sean P'Oed off Riveron... I think that has shown itself pretty clear in the replay calls from NY.... I have no idea if the on-field calls are tilted against us, simply because we commit so many actual penalties a game that aren't really arguable, or blatantly bad calls.
If the Refs are not going to call penalties equally (with consistency and regardless of game situation), and if the other team never commits an actual penalty.... Those things are out of the Teams' control no matter how much we cry about it....
We need to stop committing penalties (most of which I have seen are Legit)... If we want to change anything. And that's all there is to it.
