Really need about 15 more yards for Breesus

 

[thethe]

HELL YEAH!

 

[zitothebrave]

Saints just gave the game away with the refs aid of course.

 

[Carp]

This has got to be overturned. Gotta be the tuck rule.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Don't see this being overturned

 

[gilesfan]

Embarrassing effort if the refs give this game to SF

 

[Carp]

That's trash, imo. Arm was going forward.

 

[thethe]

Could be a season changing win right there.

Going to get a bunch of players back next week!

Chris Borland and Aaron Lynch have been incredible picks so far this year.

Baalke FTW!

They got the sack/fumble call right. As Mike Pereria said on Twitter, the contact on the sack caused the arm to go forward, thus no "tuck rule". That said, the Saints should be mad about the flop by Cox on the Hail Mary play. Cox did a brilliant job of selling it, but yes, it was a flop.

It was a flop but I'm just not sure how anyone can say that Grahm didn't push Cox. Cox was in perfect position to make a play on that ball.

Just watched the highlight of the hail fail catch by Graham. If that DB was flopping I give him credit. That's a smart play. Graham clearly made a push motion. I think he was just getting his hands up and was anticipating the DB to close the gap between them as the ball came down. If he had I think the push would not have been as visible to the ref and might not have been called.

Also, the NFC South...........................................No words justify describing how bad that division is.

I could see this argument and its awesome that you aren't letting your fandom get in the way of an obvious call.

lol Graham shouldn't have been flagged for OPI? He extended both arms and shoved a defender. Does not matter if there are 50 minutes remaining in the game or the last play of regulation. That being said, I can't believe the referee actually threw the flag.

Yeah, its a joke that people on this board actually think that wasn't OPI.

Like you I was shocked they called it in the Superdome.

Don't get me wrong, I saw Graham extend his arms and I believe there was at least a slight push. Cox just sold it like it was more than it was.

At least from what I saw.

Oh yeah, Cox definitely sold it.

Ended up being a brilliant idea.

Wow, what a crazy game. Niners/Saints games almost always impress.

49ers need to revamp their wide receivers for the 2015 season. Crabtree is gone. Boldin is good, but he's has the worst season of his career for dropped passes. Stevie is the only legit receiver they have.
