It was probably Sports Karma catching up with them for running up the score but, hate them or not and hate Brett or not, that final Saints possession, on OT, was the worst officiated possession I've seen in all my years watching NFL football.
The had not 1, not 2, but 3 incredibly, IMO of course, terrible calls on that drive.
1. First off I think they really screwed up on the 4th and 1 play because the dude lost control of the ball and it went down to around his waist area, which, by where they marked him, was well short of the first down marker. They gave him the spot of where the ball had been prior to losing control of it. Totally, completely, missed call.
2. That phantom PI. I know people keep talking about the uncatchable part but that isn't the part that bugs me as much as, when you watch it on replay (Especially at NFL.com) there doesn't appear to be a single thing that Leber does that could even accidently be thought of as PI. The guy did absolutely nothing to effect the play. Piss poor job ESPECIALLY since on that exact same play there was a terribly obvious, and right in their face, holding by the RT on Allen. The RT got beat by Allen and then he simply grabbed him and just fell on him from behind, tackling him, to keep him from getting to Brees. Just terrible, terrible, terrible by the refs.
3. The catch by Henderson that I felt was quite clearly not a catch. It was obviously he bobbled it all the way down and it looked pretty clear to me that he trapped it against the ground to keep from losing it all together. Just a terrible, terrible, terrible call.
But for Vikings fans that what happens when...
A) Your team runs up the score just to be running up the score.
B) Your team is full of guys who apparently can't hold onto the ball to save their lives. Fumbles by AP and Berrian cost them, at the very least, 6 points and quite likely 14.
