BALTIMORE, Maryland November 24, 2014 - The Saints could not score despite a whole lot of plays run inside the Raven five yard line. The last couple were run inside the Raven one-yard-line/ Then all the Ravens did was march 99 yards, with the TD taking the form of a pass from Joe Flacco to Steve Smith, Sr. Smith, Sr., Torey Smith and Justin Forsett (with more than a little help from Bernard Pierce) are combining to help the Ravens move the ball at will. Save for a ridiculous fumble by that Harvard guy, Kyle Jusczyk, at the Saints' one, this game would not be close. Then the Saints were about the go three and out again until the goofie official threw a flag for unknown reasons. What he said happened did not happen, the replay showed. The replay also showed that there wasn't a reason to even think an infraction occurred. Given a reprieve, the Saints got a long completion and scored. The Ravens marched again to go up, 14-7. Then the morons called a late hit on Haloti Ngata. Ngata fell to keep from hitting Breeze. Breeze did not go down. It was about as bad as these kind of calls can be. Then there was a long pass that Danny Gorrer of the Ravens and one of the Saints fought for. The Saints man made the catch but only when he was well out of bounds. John Harbaugh threw the flag and on the radio they said it was a done deal. On the replay it was a done deal. But the morons in stripes blew it. How you can look at a replay like that and still get it wrong is beyond me. It sure looks like the league wants the Saints to win this game. Really it does. Given a first and goal at the Ravens five, The Saints settled for a field goal.
The officials are again trying to do the Ravens in. I suppose New Orleans is a "glamor team" that the league wants competing for the playoffs. This year they aren't good enough. But with the officials behind them, I could be wrong about that.
