Exactly. I was wondering how long it would be before the NFL stepped in and stymied the success the Saints have had so far and this appears to be the game. Uncalled holding, a bullshit false start on 4th down when the Pats clearly jumped first, and a phantom hold on Lewis to extend the last drive of the half to keep us from getting the ball. Don't get me wrong, we've looked like shit in the first half, but we won't be able to beat the Pats and the zebras both; especially in Foxboro. It's no secret that Goodell hates the Saints and it would be his worse nightmare to have to hand Payton the Lombardi, so he's going to do whatever it takes to ensure that doesn't happen.
Yes...don't know what just happened. They missed the time out call AND allowed the play to go after the play clock hit zero.
Graham walking to locker room. That didn't look good. Neither was play calling on the last drive after turnover on downs. They should have run the ball and taken it to 2m warning instead of passing. Edit: Nevermind.
That's a heartbreaker. Knew it would happen sooner or later, but lack of running game cost us this one along with shitty play calling. I have a question though. On the Saints last possession, why did the clock stop after their 1st down run with 2:10? NE was out of time outs, so the clock should not have stopped. I don't get it. Just another of many things that cost us this game.
