One of these was ruled a fumble, the other was ruled an incomplete pass...
The problem isn't the ruling, it's the lack of consistency, clarity & accountability from NFL Officiating. The league HATES the Saints, you can't convince me otherwise.
It was a beautiful day in NOLA. The city was full of energy and enthusiasm. I don’t even mind Raiders fans having a good time and enjoying Louisiana after a win. The officiating however has added an element of professional wrestling that has beaten this @Saints fanbase down.
I’m the least conspiracy type of guy you’ll ever find…
But you’d have a hard time convincing me there isn’t some sort of agenda against the Saints.
This is some of the most obvious missed calls I’ve ever seen.
Judging by the conversations in Saints postgame locker room, they're as pissed about the opposite Jared Goff/Tyler Shough fumble rulings as you'd expect.
Being a @Saints fan takes alot out of a person and can ruin a week after a loss! Man, as good as we are, we can be so much better! That's the most frustrating part of it all! @NFL has a ref problem and clearly don't care to fix it!
Saints turned the ball over too many times to win. But some of the calls definitely changed the flow of the game. Hard to feel like it was called competently. Can’t dwell on it though. Falcons Monday night. #whodat⚜️
Saints are now 0-9 in the Kellen Moore era when they lose the turnover battle, 5-0 when they win it.
This game is a perfect microcosm of that. Saints were in complete control until they handed it over.
Somebody please explain it to me like I’m dumb. Here is a side-by-side of Tyler Shough’s play against the Raiders today and Jared Goff’s from Week 1.
Saints lost a td from Goff’s mistake. Today, ref says Shough fumbled and Raiders recovered. Make it make sense! @NFLOfficiating
So the exact same play that happened in Detroit, called the other way against a #Saints team that's now suffered from the NFL's insufficient definition of a forward pass for a second time in three game.
