    Refs on the Saints...Saints backers rejoice!

    It all started with the BS PI call in the first quarter on Niners' CB..then another blown call..and now another one.

    Looks to be a fair game. Timeout call was a bit cheap, other than that no real problems.

    Not big news here, they always are. In a league where holding happens every play, they've been called for it like 3 times this season.

    Really, you liked the PI call on the Jimmy Graham play on the very first drive? That was BS.

    It was clear pass interference. He ran into the receiver and made contact with his midsection before the ball got there.

    It's like they waited to see if the saints could get anything out of that play and when they didn't they let them have the time out. I wonder what would have happened if they threw a TD pass? Would they have called it back and said they called a timeout? hum?

    PI call was weak, but we see that every game.

    The most blatant helmet to helmet was the one by Harper On Alex Smith(Qb) in the first quarter.

    Not sure they ever call a helmet to helmet on a RB. But yes, it was helmet to helmet on Pierre. That is why he fumbled and went flat afterwards. Has he come back yet?
