Saints Punter Morstead Fined for Facemask Tackle on Ted Ginn

[osd22]

That was an ugly ugly facemask that made me furious. He could have seriousely hurt Ted on that "tackle". Saved them 4 points and maybe some momentum. As good as he is as a punter, IMO he did not care a second for Teds health in that moment and grabbed his facemask intentionally. Pissed me off all night.

That facemask was down right WRONG and he knew he was wrong...threw his entire body weight into grabbing the face mask, he could of ended Teds career

Is this the time to remind everyone this is the same punter that caught Armanti???

I re-watched the game last night and saw several things go uncalled that we disturbing. One was a late hit out of bounds on Olsen on a clearly uncatchable ball. Vaccarro's clotheline of Smith, hands to the face on another play at the LOS...

Morstead couldn't give two fugs. His bounty payout will cover the fine and then some.

[PantherPhann89]

Good and expected...

I give him props for apologizing, but I'm still waiting for him to apologize for not dropkicking a field goal at the Pro Bowl like he said he would.

[OneBadCat]

Hope we break him in half the next game.

 

A lot of pain is to be dealt on the Saints for their cheap shot BS in the next meeting.

And you didn't see anything the Panthers did that was disturbing to your eyes, interesting

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

can't blame him, ginn would have scored a TD.

[PghPanther]

Panthers were headed to a 10 - 0 lead with that play before that facemask ended an end zone run.........

 

That single play saw the momentum change in that game and we never recovered from it.

The NFL needs to come up with a better way to handle that than just a 15 yard penalty. It basically says that anybody can practically rip a guys head off to save a touchdown if he's breaking free on a return. It's flat out dirty. Just like that poo Mike Tomlin pulled not long ago.

They have a way.  The penalty for a "Palpably Unfair Act" can be the awarding of a touchdown.

Has it ever been called yet? Would be interesting to know. That was a potential one then.
