It seems the head coach is not so popular among NFL officials.

Didn’t the Saints actually jump off sides to draw the origional penalty? This drew the flag and then they huddled up to figure out what happened. The Saints complained of an illegal shift, but it turned out to be legal. Sounds like the officials were covering their A$$. Blew the call and then we like I think I heard someone yelling something but not sure. COVER UP!

Schiano took a beating from the hosts today at 98.7. Surprised me the mocking they did. I thought they were better than that.

Gee, I don’t know… I think Lavonte looked at Foster and said “Ready???” and Foster said “Uh Huh… SHIFT!!!” HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I think it was a good call. EVERYONE with sense knows not to yell “huh huh” before the play starts.

Whine all you want about the officials, but in this case they got it right…regardless of whether the Saints warned them. If Foster (who is a great player) had not broke the rules? He would not have been penalized. Period.

So he’ll learn. The coaches will address it and we’ll move on. This is all part of the growing pains as we witness the formation of a top contender.

If the Giants, Patriots, Eagles or Cowboys had been flagged for this and it cost them points it would be all over the news wire for the entire week. Even discussing it during the next weekend games. This ‘grey’ area allows refs to influence the outcome of the games. Just like they need to stop extra loud speakers in stadiums; the ‘loss’ of headsets are crucial times. The playing field should be the same for both teams.

I still don’t know whether anyone told Foster to do that.

Whoever it was gave the Saints a first down and really hurt our chances to win. Even If the guy makes the field goal we could have tied it at the end.

If a buc player was told to try and circumvent the rule that’s dumb coaching. Not worth the risk of a fifteen harder.

Huh huh sounds a lot like hut hut…..

Dallas:

As Dominik said today, there is no audio available.

Gus- is it a good call if he didn’t say “huh huh”?

I will agree it was a good call when I hear the proof that he was mimicking the snap count.

There are at least 3 different takes on what was said according to people down on the field that day.

If he sai huh huh then it’s the right call. It’s a known rule. Good call.

Joe- is there any audio of the play which can definitively put to rest what Foster said? If not, the fans are right to suspect this is BS. Got the saints saying it was “Go”, the nfl saying it was “huh huh”, schiano saying it was “move” and Foster saying nothing yet. None of these words sound remotely the same and therefore could not be mistaken for one another. Would deepen the suspicion if nfl films somehow loses the audio for this play.

Now if we can get the center to snap the ball before the holder is ready maybe we could cause a fumble. And Better yet, maybe the kicker would pick it up and try to throw a pass. Ok let’s try it.
