Niners/Saints

[rynochop]

It was a subtle push off that doesn't get called usually.

Good acting on the DB. Remember the GB/SEA hail mary with the replacement ref's?

 

[Blackspider214]

Will Brees get criticism for playing terrible in a big game? Especially at home where they are supposed to be unstoppable. This loss is squarely on him, like most of their losses this season.

Thing is, NFC South is the worst division in football so they could win it at 8-8.

That push off on Graham at the end of the game was highly questionable.

It was. Sort of like that Steve Smith play at the end of the Bengals game a few weeks ago.

 

[Deep_South]

Actually, I thought the refs never call pass interference on a final play Hail Mary in the end zone because it is a free-for-all.

 

[Risen Star]

He does get a free pass for whatever reason. He's thrown some brutal int's in his career.

I'm going to guess that reason is he's backed up his numbers by winning a Super Bowl.

And Trent Dilfers play ability is beyond reproach

It will be a long bye week for ya huh?

So has Peyton.

Trent Dilfer doesn't have Brees' numbers. So that response was asinine.

When you have those numbers and you win a ring, you are elevated to elite status. It's really that simple.

Brees wet the bed today. Tony couldn't have won a couple rings with those early 90's teams? Doubt you will answer that, but its obviously clear

I believe Romo to be an elite QB in a bad situation, so you're talking to the wrong person.

You asked why Brees gets the benefit of the doubt. I told you. You don't like the answer but it's true. He's got great numbers and a ring. If Romo could ever win a ring, that would give his numbers much more meaning and the entire perception of him changes.

Fair enough

They could win that division with a 7-9 record.

Rob Ryan's defense blew another 4th quarter lead. All too familiar.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

That push off on Graham at the end of the game was highly questionable.

Really?

How much more did he need to extend his arms out for it to be a push off?

It wasn't questionable it was clear as day. Ray Charles could have made that call.

I wanted the Niners to lose but Graham didn't even attempt to hide the fact that he was pushing off.


It doesn't matter if the 49er flopped and acted like he was bulldozed by the push. It doesn't take much of a push, at all, when players are running and getting into position on a football field for jump ball.

Absolutely true. Without question.

It's the way the QB position is viewed in the NFL.
