How can anyone complain about missed calls, when all you do is kick field goals?

Those FGs kept us in the game. Gano hits that first one then he has a shot to win the game at the end too.

The sad part is, even with all the ref bullshit, and all the field goals, if Gano makes the bunny he missed, were only down 2 and can kick a FG to win the game at the end.

It's just sad, the missed opportunity.

I wouldn’t have trusted Gano to hit the game winner there anyway

Gano was on the money during the regular season though.

I get this argument, but what did we kick 4 or 5 FGs?  We needed TDs here. It came down to a complete systematic failure

Just gonna leave this here. Calls at the end DID effect the game, regardless of us kicking a poo ton of field goals or not.

The Saints fans were yelling really really hard so the Yelling Breeze blew Pro Bowl Gano's 25-yard attempt off course.

Not his fault.  Gano needs another raise.  MVP.

I get that one call played a small role in our loss, but I just can’t credit one bad call as the reason we lost. 

I guess what I am saying, is if we had scored even 1 more TD rather than kick a FG, we would have won.

I'm completely with you there. But by the end of the game that wasn't the case. Hell even if Gano had made that dang chip-shot FG it might have changed things a bit at the end.

I just hate seeing the end of the game, or any game for that matter, being greatly effected by poor officiating. But it is what it is now.

Man...the huddle sure is fun right now...

Any player on this team would tell you NOT to put a game in the hands of referees. This team has been kicking field goals instead of td’s for a long time.

Personally, since I intensely dislike Rivera, Shula, *and* Gano and think they all have their pictures beside the definition of MEDIOCRITY in Websters, I am perfectly willing to talk about missed calls *and* FGs (as well as missed FGs).

Gano missed two field goals this season. TWO! Should've been an All - Pro based on that and his touchback percentage 

[SOJA]

personally I'm going to complain about both

How can anyone wake up today and complain about the effort of our coaches and players yesterday? You take points when you can get them. These guys were in a position to win a playoff game on the road against the team that knows us best. 

The only thing a reasonable person CAN complain about today is the officiating. 

That was a really solid effort yesterday and a great battle. Everyone can't win and losers aren't always falling apart.
