Yes ,it happened two weeks in a row. I'm sure your all familiar with the bad call that cost the Chargers dearly in week two. But do you know it happened again in the Saints game?
On the most important play of the game ,a third and one, with the Saints trying to run out the clock, and move in for a closer field goal. The Broncos lined up in the neutral zone, linebacker D J Williams was clearly off sides before the snap. The officials did not call it. Williams having the head start, made the tackle behind the line of scrimmage.
Now what does Mike Shanahan have on these officials? Seems very lucky to say the least,to have two bad calls give you two wins, in a row. All of a sudden I know how he Charger's fans feel. The Saints have brought this to the leagues attention , but it won't change the out come. Denver gets a 3-0 start , while the Saints drop to 1-2.

The Broncos were not "given" anything. The Saints also got a call on the Tony Scheffler fumble that would have probably put us up by 8. The Broncos earned both of these wins with great offensive play. I'll give you the Chargers call, that was a botch, but it happens. The offsides? Get real. And besides, the offsides call you are referring to was not D.J. Williams. It was Jamie Winborn. Gramatica missed two field goals, which is not a gimme. The Saints had their chances. And even if Gramatica had made the field goal, there were more than two minutes left in the game. I'll bet the number one offense in the NFL could get into field goal range as well. Bottom line is, if we had an answer for Reggie Bush and Drew Brees with a 21-3 start the Saints would have been absolutely embarrassed. Consider yourself blessed to have even had a chance in that game.

What people need to realize is there are bad calls in every single NFL game which negatively affect every team.
If the Charges wanted to beat the Broncos in week 2 then they should have started by not allowing Denver to score 39 points...
If the Saints wanted to beat the Broncos in week 3 then they should have started by not allowing Denver to score 34 points...
Blaming others for your own short-comings is a sign of a whiner and a loser.

You are a moron! It was Jamie Winborn that was off sides and he didn't have ANYTHING to do with D.J. making the stop.
Sorry about the loss but don't bitch about a blown call that didn't have anything to do with the outcome of that play.

Well maybe the Saints should play some defense or kick that field goal or learn to run some effective goaline plays. Or perhaps Reggie shouldn't fumble which is returned for a TD or Gramatica should make two field goals. There were way to many Saints miscues in this game to blame it on one missed call; please.
