Very true.

Aqib Talib says last year's pass interference non-call is "a New Orleans problem".

Also true.

Where do you come down on this one?

I don't care and I think the league needs to compensate in the opposite direction and take away the challenge/review process.

Multi-million dollar players make mistakes every game- fumbles, INTs, penalties, missing a block, etc. But the refs, who make less than anyone else on the field are expected to see everything that happens without a few seconds among 22 players.

Fug it. Mistakes are gonna happen, it's part of the human condition. Let's go back to letting the refs be human as well. Let's save video reviews for spotting the ball on out of bounds plays are first downs or goal lines and get rid of the rest.

The thing that bothers me about that call is fans crying about that costing the game but conveniently forgetting that Brees threw a game losing INT 

And a lot of Saints fans think the interception shouldn’t have counted. They wanted roughing the passer/hands to the face.   Would’ve been pathetic to call this roughing the passer

Apparently Aqib agrees with my view. Couldn't care less. I still take lots of pleasure in the Saints losing that way. That call in a vacuum was absolute crap. In the context of the rest of the game, it was just another missed call. It happened in a consequential moment, but it was still just another missed call.

I go back to the play they didn't make vs Minnesota the year before where they give it up at the last second.

They had that one won. But they didn't win. What more proof do you need that you cannot assume anything and to claim the Saints would have absolutely gone to the Super Bowl had that PI call been made last season, it is based on an assumption. People miss kicks. All the time.

I have always heard you there are going to be times when the officials do a bad job and you have to make enough plays so they can't change the outcome with one call.

I'd have been steaming mad as a fan, but it was the Saints so I enjoyed a huge laugh.

    • My general take on the state of the team not going too in depth is this: Either Morgan or Canales (hard to say whether it’s the players or the system/coaching, and that goes for any team) has been responsible for considerable strides forward on D and a bit more productive offense, but it’s been a small sample size and we collapsed at the end of the year. I lean towards it being more Canales growing as a coach and building a culture of buy-in and getting the most out of players in the locker room. My reasoning for leaning there is that Morgan was part of the Fitterer stink and it’ll take him a while of sustained success in roster management to overcome that in my mind. Next year is a big year to see if that was a fluke or not. These big signings this offseason are exciting and sometimes teams can have amazing FA classes but more often than not those who spend big and “win the offseason” don’t show the results in the regular season.    As far as QB goes, in a vacuum I’m completely fine with the Pickett signing, he’s ok value for a backup and a huge improvement over Dalton. If Bryce went down there isn’t a huge drop off there and if the rest of the team builds on last year they could win games with him under center. I’m not sure the ‘85 Bears could win games with current Dalton under center. But the O is just so damn limited with Bryce and Pickett does not push him at all, he’s purely a backup. So I agree we I’d love to see a QB with some upside drafted, a guy who could actually push Bryce if/when he struggles or doesn’t improve any further. He’s improved steadily the last 2 years but it has been from arguably worst in league history to still below average. I’m not convinced he can get any better than purely average at absolute best. I hope he can man but I just don’t see it happening. And the longer we keep penciling him as starter the less confidence I have in this staff. Even with our unexpected relative success as a team last year sometimes you do have to take another step back to take a step forward, and that could mean moving on from Bryce, and temporarily going with a slightly worse player like Pickett while aggressively trying to upgrade the position and taking dart throws in the draft/free agency on upside players. I know, there wasn’t much available this offseason outside of Willis, and this draft class seems to be poor at QB. But I’d have preferred we try something and if it didn’t work and we took a step back then just keep trying until something hits. Rolling with Bryce is just delaying the inevitable and living in purgatory.    just my 2 cents, hope I’m proved wrong
    • His market value is 15.7 million. Not worth it to bring him at his age, at that price. If we were to bring in a veteran, DeAndre Hopkins is available for 2 million market value. I've said this in other threads, get Keenan Allen to play the slot. He's as good as a pass catching tight end and is market is under 7 million.
