    The first and foremost play that kiled our momentum was the stupid intentional grounding out of the endzone by drew.The second,third and fourth biggest plays that killed us were by the zebras(jackasses)!

    You thought there were a lot of bad calls? I can recall one bad one (offensive pass interference on a great catch by Colston) and one questionable one (one of the 19 fumbles, this one by beer truck driver.)

    The interference was called on Copper. And yes that was an awful call.

    The fumble was questionable, and I did agree the replay officials didn't have enough evidence to overturn it. Whatever way the original call went, it would have stuck. Too bad for the Saints that it went their way on that one.

    All in all, the Saints O-line and D-line didn't play well enough. The game was lost in the trenches.

    Yep, good catch. It was especially frustrating too because it was the best catch of his young career.

    Maybe we're talking about 2 different plays. I was referring to the simple out route by Copper that they nullified because Copper supposedly pushed off when it really was just the receiver and defender locked up together.

    What part of the game did the play you're referring to occured? What position of the field?

    Yea, I think that's the play I'm talking about. Roughly their own 30 or 40 yard line, right sideline. Copper caught the ball well away from his body with both hands. Tough catch.

    The best catch of the day was Colston over the middle where he has to reach far away from his body to catch it with the defender right there. That was at about midfield. I think that's the incredible catch you're referring to, which had no penalty involved. The pass to Copper was a pretty conventional catch.
