Jerry Austin needs to get run.
He goes on national television as an official expert and lies on national television to protect the officials bad call.

He should be fired from ESPN instantly because he is one of 2 things:

1)a lier
2)does not know the rules

Either way he should be fired.

I am all for picking up the flag for uncatchable passes but since they dont really do that nowadays that was obstruction/face guarding or whatever you wanna call it

LOL at bitter Saints fan who can't spell "liar". It was the correct no call.

Spoken like a true Saints fan.

I dont understand the fking rules obviously because at least that should be illegal contact.
Jerry Austin is insane, of course the guy couldnt catch the ball he was being held AND pushed away from the action.

I am torn on the call. Do you give the pats the ball on the 1 yard essentially giving them the win on that pass? Can you honestly say that that ball thrown in the middle of 5 defenders would have been caught by Gronk basically giving the Pats a 1 YD TD run for the win? I don't think so. I think if it was a little closer to him with a higher percentage that he could have caught the ball then you have to throw the flag but given the 4 Panthers surrounding him I don't think he was catching that pass.

The question of would he or could he have caught the ball is not a factor.

It was defensive holding.

Your Saints will soon be in a tie for 1st, that's what.

Being that this statement is coming from someone who has been correct about his saints predictions this season exactly 0% of the time im hardly fearful of your statement.

I don't recall making a single prediction about the Saints whatsoever...and I wasn't trying to make you "fearful", but don't say you didn't have a horse in this race tonight...

Honestly the Saints did not factor into what I said in this thread.
Not in the Slightest.

As a matter of fact im perfectly capable of making statements against my personal wants and desires in the name of being right.

I can send you a screen shot of the Pats/Panthers under 47 bet I made for the game tonight if you would like proof.

And yes I would have lost the bet if the game would have been called correctly but thats besides the point.
