After watching the video several times, I think the call could've gone either way. It wasn't much of a push by the receiver but great acting by the defensive back and the refs bought in to it.

I think it's part acting, but he was in position and about to jump when he was pushed. I don't think there is any question about the call.

The way the rules are so unapologetically slanted towards the offense, I'm surprised this was called. Given the modern NFL, I'm surprised it was called.

Yep. Was a defensive guy did the same thing, it's flagged every time.

The Saint's Jimmy Graham looks pretty tall. I think he could have jumped up and still caught the ball without pushing the CB. I have to admit that Perrish Cox, the 49ers cornerback, did a great job of flopping on that play.

Agree.

Saints lost the game in OT by not going for it 4-2. When they decided to punt I was 99% sure they would lose.

He channeled his inner LeBron

The only people complaining about that call had money on New Orleans.

That was a clear PI. Yes, the guy sold it. But a 2 handed shove in clear view of 2 officials..it was pretty obvious.

They called one on Bolden earlier in the game too.

Graham didn't even need to do that and he could still catch that ball. We blame the refs after watching it on replays from many different angles. And people still claim that he didn't even touch him? Now that's the biggest joke of them all. Graham touched him, defensive player sold it perfectly and I can imagine refs were easily deceived in real time.

that is the roger staubach to drew pearson original ''hail mary.''

pearson does a 'swim move,' brushes nate wright who falls down.

no flag.

that set a precedent, you can not have a flag on a hail mary, it goes against the spirit of the play.

if two officials threw a flag they should both be sacked.

And true to form Jimmy is whining about the call.

The Saints coach is a whiner, the QB is a whiner, and I wish they would just shut up.
