OT: Gene Steratore back at it again
Everybody watching the Saints-Vikings game right now knows what I am talking about. These reviews are taking way longer than necessary. Also, the Saints were called for way too many PI's in the first half. How does this guy keep getting assigned to big time games and why can't he make up his mind quicker on obvious calls? He sucks.
FUCK GENE STERATORE
EDIT: What an ending. Steratore got that one last review at the end lol
January 14th, 2018 at 7:24 PM ^
The calls have been fairly consistent. I’m it saying there haven’t been errors, but it’s not been one sided that I’ve noticed.
January 15th, 2018 at 1:40 AM ^
The first quarter had like 80 yards of PI calls against the saints.
January 15th, 2018 at 3:40 AM ^
And they were legit. Saints came in with the intention of playing aggressively, and they got called on it.
January 15th, 2018 at 9:08 AM ^
You're clearly a Vikings fan.
The one where Diggs held the hand of the DB against his body then flopped himself to the turf was legit you say?
Lol you're an idiot.
January 15th, 2018 at 9:58 AM ^
Not a Vikings fan. Saints could have been called for a lot more.
There was one suspect PI call where the Viking receiver grabbed the defender's wrist and then fell down. That was the only bad PI call.
There were TWO over the backs in the game on part of the Saints the refs let slide.
The Saints were molesting the receivers all game long.
January 14th, 2018 at 7:25 PM ^
More like stareawhile. Am I right
January 14th, 2018 at 7:27 PM ^
Well done. +1
January 14th, 2018 at 7:25 PM ^
Also, head of officiating in NY makes final decision, so quit being a whiny bitch.
January 14th, 2018 at 7:35 PM ^
My thoughts exactly.
January 14th, 2018 at 7:26 PM ^
The officals have actually been pretty good in this game.
January 14th, 2018 at 7:27 PM ^
He's not the one making the PI calls. It's easy to want to murder the guy who has to report questionable calls 30+ yards downfield.
That said, he's a fuckwit basketball official. He shouldn't be doing both.
January 14th, 2018 at 7:29 PM ^
He sucks ass at officiating football games too. Don't forget the index card incident in the Cowboys-Raiders game. That was this dumbass.
January 14th, 2018 at 8:25 PM ^
He did both Calvin and Dez non-catch overturns as well
January 14th, 2018 at 7:29 PM ^
Were done in NY.
January 14th, 2018 at 7:35 PM ^
They are.
January 14th, 2018 at 7:41 PM ^
That this guy still has a job. He is god-awful.
January 14th, 2018 at 7:46 PM ^
His job? He's like never playing anymore, I think I've seen him in like 5 plays
January 14th, 2018 at 7:59 PM ^
I think they're only playing 2 linebackers this half.
January 14th, 2018 at 8:09 PM ^
Wow, what a finish to that game!!
January 15th, 2018 at 7:02 AM ^
I used to play air guitar. That guy just made an air tackle.
January 15th, 2018 at 9:14 AM ^
Why did you retire from air guitar?
January 15th, 2018 at 10:15 AM ^
carpal tunnel?
January 14th, 2018 at 8:12 PM ^
Congrats to #43 on the saints, you might be the worst safety in NFL history
January 14th, 2018 at 8:14 PM ^
WTF was he thinking!! Bizzare way to tackle someone at any point of any game.
January 14th, 2018 at 8:18 PM ^
Tackle him?
January 14th, 2018 at 8:20 PM ^
I’m not sure what he was doing. His job was to tackle him and he was in position to do so.
January 14th, 2018 at 8:51 PM ^
I️ was just asking as a fan. Do you honestly think he tried to tackle him? I’m pretty sure he forgot how to wrap up without his arms and to kick his own player. I️ have my own doubts. Barrett was short.
January 15th, 2018 at 1:20 AM ^
He wanted to end the season and spend time with family.
January 15th, 2018 at 9:55 AM ^
My guess is he was trying to light him up to dislodge the ball and/or prevent Diggs from getting out of bounds as the Vikes didn't have any timeouts.
January 15th, 2018 at 10:21 AM ^
...I think he got there a little early and was trying to avoid a game-losing PI. If he takes Diggs's legs on that first lunge he's done it before the ball arrives.
January 14th, 2018 at 8:19 PM ^
They might not even let him on the plane back to New Orleans.
January 15th, 2018 at 9:41 AM ^
What a total and obvious photo shop. Not even sure how this is funny.
January 14th, 2018 at 8:40 PM ^
At the very least that was the worst play by a safety in the history of football at any level.
January 14th, 2018 at 8:12 PM ^
They HAVE to kick the extra point?? Why?
January 14th, 2018 at 8:14 PM ^
Because the NFL is embarrassing
January 14th, 2018 at 8:28 PM ^
It's because of gambling. They want to finish the whole play and not be able to blame refs on being on the take.
January 14th, 2018 at 8:36 PM ^
the point-after is attempted even when the game is decided because a potential (way down the list) playoff qualifying tiebreaker is total points (but teams always kneel it anyways). But with this being a playoff game it doesn't make sense to have to attempt it, except for gambling reasons, which many fans think is the real reason for the rule. Teams just kneel it anyways so the NFL should really get rid of the rule except for 1 or 2 point games where a defensive 2 pt conversion could tie/win the game.
January 14th, 2018 at 11:39 PM ^
wait, that means the game was tied before the PAT right? of course, they need to kick the PAT, because it's not decided. If the game is decided befor PAT even with 1 point, the best is just kneel it in PAT, so no body get hurts, and the opposite team cannot run for two points.
January 15th, 2018 at 1:20 AM ^
This game? definitely not tied.
January 14th, 2018 at 8:52 PM ^
Who cares? Who gives a damn?
January 14th, 2018 at 8:59 PM ^
give a damn.
January 15th, 2018 at 5:41 AM ^
Especially when the line on this game was 5 or 5.5, which it was.
January 14th, 2018 at 9:27 PM ^
I got your reference - +1, young man!
-1 for the take on gamblers. I don't care how old you are, you should know that reference.
January 14th, 2018 at 8:13 PM ^
But aside from that.....holy balls.
January 14th, 2018 at 8:15 PM ^
Steratore confirms 8 to 12 minutes later. Prescient thread. Well done. BTW, is Diggs still in play ?
January 14th, 2018 at 9:00 PM ^
done by him.
January 14th, 2018 at 8:14 PM ^
That poor saints defender is gonna be playing for a new team next fall, lol. Totally whiffed on the tackle, looked like he was diving on a slip and slide.
