Very true.

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.
