More frequent roughing the passer calls..

anybody think we're getting extra personal fouls against Cam due to his status as an up and coming rookie?

There was one in the Arizona game were the finger of a defender tipped his face mask and they got 15 yards

the other day I have no idea what the first foul against newton was about. Maybe two guys hitting him up high and low? I know that would be illegal blocking somebody but not tackling. It certainly wasn't a late hit.

There have been some legit ones but I doubt Clausen would get the same attention.

I suppose it's nice but I'd rather just have consistent judgments than needing a golden boy at QB to get some ref attention. If this is the way it has to be I sure am happy it's in our favor.

Ya think? It was called a "late hit." Which you and I know is quite impossible when the ball is flailing in the air. Yes you can thank Mike Vick for the NFL's new stance on protecting star QBs who will be the future face of the NFL. I believe in protecting our league's assets but not to the point that it affects the outcome of a game. Sure it was the middle of the third quarter but that call keeps you guys in the game and changes everything.

The problem with the rules right now is that you can take that play and show it to five different referees in real time and three opinions come out of the other end. These protection rules need to be clarified in the offseason to protect the integrity of the game. We could have just as easily been the benefactors of a bad call on a Brees hit (I think we've gotten a couple this year) and I don't want to win that way.

UNPOSSIBLE! The refs are out to get us, remember?

There was a game in either 2007 or 2008 where Peppers got flagged for basically hugging Brees after coming to as much of a complete stop as a defensive player of his stature could. There is no weaker RTP call than that.
