Inconsistent would be a great way to put it, and I thought that had a lot to do with the way this game ended." Sean Payton still upset with the refs from yesterday: "I thought the officiating was extremely poor. For this, the officiating crew penalized Payton and assessed the Saints a ten-second run-off of the clock which ended the game. When referees didn’t acknowledge his overtures, Payton ran on to the field to get their attention. Toward the end of the game, while the Falcons were running out the clock, Sean Payton tried desperately to call a timeout and preserve the few seconds remaining.
This was a particularly-awful call from what I deem an officiating crew favorable to the home team, a nod perhaps from Goodell to Blank for his months-long, steadfast support during contract negotiations.Īn officiating crew, it turned out, staffed by a former Falcons player who wasn’t a regular member of this crew, but assigned to work the game nonetheless.Īn officiating crew that awarded the Falcons nine first downs via penalty, the highest total in the NFL in twenty years. Massive involvement by the officials tonight. That flag took 3 points from the Saints, and the phantom roughing the passer gave the Falcons their lone TD.
