News: PFT: Saints unhappy with missed helmet-to-helmet hit on Alvin Kamara

[Diehardblues]

Honestly, I am starting to think they are all told to make huge deals out of it. They have had so many legal issues pertaining to head trauma. I honestly think the NFL wants a huge deal made out of it for PR. To make sure people know they are watching it, and don't want it to happen. We live in a crazy would where everything is an issue. So you have to overly show you care, to get people off your (NFL) back.

Correct.

Perception can create reality.

 

[RoyTheHammer]

They should be. It was a totally blown call.

The officiating was definitely in Dallas favor tonite. The last interference call to close the game was iffy too especially in that situation with basically an uncatchable ball.

Not sure what game you watched. The Cowboys played the Saints tonight.

They should be but my gosh that was some bad officiating.

I’m sure Dallas isn’t happy about watching the defender grab Daks face mask and turn his neck sideways either.

I think these 2 plays cancel each other out. Facemask on a QB and a head shot on a RB. Both obvious penalties and both not flagged. Evened it out, they got nothing to complain about. But on an unbiased note, that was a very poorly officiated game. Both teams got calls and both teams got non calls.

Tank was also held on that play.

Lawrence was held?

 

[TheHerd]

Lawrence was held?

I know it's hear to believe. But yes, just that once though.

 

[CowboysDrew]

Bad officiating overall. Saints and Cowboys missed calls.

You do realize that an "Uncatchable Ball" means that the WR could not possibly touch the ball, let alone have a possibility of reeling it in with just one hand, right?

Just go to the video around the 3:53 mark to rewatch the play and tell me with a straight face that was "uncatchable"

I don’t think he had a reasonable chance to catch it. Sorry.

There was some contact but with the game in the balance and that had gone against us we’d be outraged.

Penalties are often a judgement call. That’s how I saw it in that situation.

 

[Idgit]

Kamara's response was actually great:

“Did one come out?” Kamara answered rhetorically when asked if he was expecting a flag.
“It is what it is,” he added. “It don’t matter what I was expecting.”

Hard to have an issue with that if that's supposed to be complaining.

 

[SackMaster]

There was some contact but with the game in the balance and that had gone against us the fans that have unreasonable expectations and poor understanding of the game would be outraged.

Fixed it for you.

Even though it does not show the replay in the video I linked to, but ....

If Byron was holding down Thomas' left (inside) arm with BOTH hands, one by the wrist and the other near the elbow, I would be pissed at Byron for committing such and obvious and stupid penalty.

But that's just the objectivity I have in me. Just because I like you does not mean you are infallible. And if I don't like you, I am also aware you are not the anti-christ as well.

Just Sayin'

Saints unhappy with missed helmet-to-helmet hit on Alvin Kamara

Saints running back Alvin Kamara took a vicious hit from Jaylon Smith in the fourth quarter. Slow-mo replays showed the Cowboys linebacker leading with the crown of his helmet. Officials did not pe...

Wait??? Dang.. I forgot your not supposed to tackle anymore... im sure glad they missed that one... but a push off in the enzone is okay.. wait.. offensive? Yes. Its ok.

 

[Beast_from_East]

It was a missed call, sure...……………...what about Dak getting his head turned around 360 degrees like he is Linda Blair in the Exorcist?

I am pretty sure that was a missed call also...…………….this was just a horribly officiated game tonight, missed calls on both sides.

 

[plasticman]

Gosh, did the refs blow a call in the Cowboy's favor? Oh no! I'm absolutely horrified!

We should forfeit the victory because we all know a ref would never make a mistake in the favor of a Cowboy opponent.

Now I feel terrible. I just don't think I can enjoy this victory with the realization there was a missed call.

However, I'm still thinking....nope, I was wrong .......I can deal with it. In fact, I really don't give a duck.

 

[foofighters]

Boohoo

 

[buybuydandavis]

He shouldn't have ducked.

That's a real issue.

You're flying across the field and you launch yourself. If you're aimed at his shoulders and he ducks or shifts, you'll hit things you hadn't aimed at.

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

Tank was also held on that play.

Tank literally gets held 50% of the time

 

[jazzcat22]

Shut up.

You had to push off to get your only touchdown.

Go back to offense school.

They also was the missed face mask on us that was not called.
But I bet the media will not talk about that one either.

 

[nightrain]

The officiating was terrible last night. Both teams should be upset with the poor performance by that crew.

 

[dogunwo]

I know the refs missed it, but frankly, it wasn't vicious nor egregious.

I disagree. That hit looked pretty nasty in real time.
