I would like to hear the NFL's excuse for that make believe roughing call. If that's called on me I'm going after Newton long after the whistle and getting my money's worth. These refs cheat every week...PERIOD!
If forced to explain, they will probably say that McBride went to the head. And he did come in with the arm high, but didn't hit him in the head. This is why coaches should be able to challenge anything, and continue to be allowed challenges so long as they are proving the refs wrong.
This drive was a gift. Saints dee still needs to stiffen up but the roughing the passer call on 3rd and 5 was phantom.
I can see how the ref missed LaFell's knee touch the ground. He was at least two feet away from the play so of course we can't expect him to have a clear view. :dis: Do they EVER get a call right?
