That was a disco move, not a football move....

A) Falcons lost 20 yards & a 1st down on the double-PI while the Saints lost nothing, period. You have yet to make an argument supporting how that's fair. And "well that's just the rules that everyone is subject to" still doesn't prove it's fair & sure as hell still doesn't make the end result equal.

B) Falcons ended up with a turnover on the 1 yard line on what could have been completely avoidable due to a TD 2 plays earlier. Again, the Falcons got screwed while the Saints got a second chance & the end result was a beyond HUGE benefit for the Saints. And you still haven't made an argument supporting how that's fair either.

In the end on both situations, Falcons got screwed & Saints benefitted significantly. And as I've said from the beginning, if the roles would have been reversed, I'd be saying the same things about how you guys got screwed & we benefitted & that I think the rules for those penalties aren't fair. Whether you believe that or not, that's how I feel.

Been there done that more times than I can count as a fan. I have had both go against me. You have your rear end in an uproar because they went against you this week. I have no doubt these two rules were never a concern in your life before Monday.

Once again, bravo on the support for your team. I really do understand that.

Falcons Talk staff,

I just want you to know that none of this debate has anything top do with your fine site. I am not trying at all to degrade your team or your fans. I have no doubt you can interpret the rest on your own.

Look forward to the good people here and good discussion!

Guido
