Who think the saints got scrwed?

Question

i think there were a lot of calls that were wrong. the saints should have won taht game but the bears had it wriged.

Answer 1

I think you need to look at the performance on the field. Nobody was pulling harder for the Saints than me. Even if any bad call was reversed, I think the Bears would have won.

Answer 2

The Saints fumbled four times and lost three of them. That was the big thing today.

Don't start complaining about calls. Good play overcomes all. Remember when the Patriots held the Colt receivers in the AFC Champ game a few years ago? They actually had to remind the refs to make those calls from then on. The bottom line though was that the Colts made mistakes and could not find a way to win. The home field does make a difference.

Answer 3

Just look at the box score, that really say's it all: http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/boxscore?gid=20070121003. Saints - more total yardage, better completion percentage, better third down conversion percentage, the only stat that stands out is the penalties. Saints 7 penalties for 47yds and the Bears 1 "token" penalty at the end for 5 yds (that doesn't even count the turnovers). The eagles complained about the officials in the previous game, but the stats say otherwise (really, look at the box scores!). This game the stats are completely opposite the outcome. Say what you will, but the Saints had a great season, and the stats say that the better team lost. Oh, well, not the first time (especially for Saints fans). Have fun loosing in the superbowl Chicago, I can't think of a team that deserves it more...

Answer 4

Not me...I think you need to look back at the game. The bears didn't have the game rigged, they just came to play...and they won. How many fumbles did the saints have? That's not a game being rigged and if you watch those replays they were good calls. Sorry you think that saints got screwed, but they didn't. The Bears were just the better team today. Defense wins championships...

Answer 5

The announcers even agreed with the calls. If the Bears had lost you wouldn't say one word about those same calls. Brees intentionally grounded the ball twice. It was obvious. The officiating was right on target. I give the Saints credit, they had a great year, but today the Bears were better.

Answer 6

The Saints defiantly had some calls go against them (A LOT of them), but they really hurt themselves. Too many turnovers, penalties, and mental errors. That safety was inexcusable!!! The Bears might not be the better team, but they played better today!

Answer 7

No way, The bears played a much better game of football. Those three fumbles and one int didn't hel the Saints out though.

Answer 8

Somebody call the WAAAAAAAMBULANCE! We got a class a Cry Baby on our hands here! You kept askin "Who Dat gonna beat dem Aints" or something, and you just got your answer. Heck, if the refs wouldve called half the crap the Saints pulled (PASS INTERFERECE, COUGH COUGH), then you wouldve gotten beat by even more. The Bears were 14-3 for a FRIGGIN REASON! Your Team just underestimated us, and thought you had it in the bag. 15-3, best record in the NFL, SUPER BOWL HERE WE COME! DA BEARS DA BEARS DA BEARS DA BEARS DA BEARS DA BEARS DA BEARS DA BEARS DA BEARS!

Note: You can hop onto the Bandwagon if you want, its not too late.

Answer 9

Name one bad call. Brees fumble was obvious and it was obviously recovered by chicago and people touched him on the ground so that is a obvious one. Also, brees safety was obvious. Their was only o-line man in the area. The closes reciever was 20 yards down the field. But if you can think of any legitimate calls, then please let me know. Otherwise, your just making up things to try and justify a 25 point beating.

Answer 10

I do but Da Bears were the better team today! But some of those calls are questionable though.
