But why can't their fans complain when a first and ten in their opponents red-zone is stripped away from them in favor of a 80% kick. Hell, even if Gramatica makes it, the call still costs the Saints a chance to score 7, as well as gives the Broncos ample time to score, since a new set of downs wasn't properly granted. This wasn't as tragic as erasing a win, like Hochuli did to the Chargers, but it certainly is complaint worthy. The Broncos have rightfully won just one game this season, while having rightfully lost two. This game against the Saints is questionable, but I'm inclined to believe that the Saints win this game with the correct call. Ed,

Sure, Gramatica could have made that field goal and this discussion would never have happened. But why can’t their fans complain when a first and ten in their opponents red-zone is stripped away from them in favor of a 80% kick.

The Broncos have rightfully won just one game this season, while having rightfully lost two. This game against the Saints is questionable, but I’m inclined to believe that the Saints win this game with the correct call.

Shoulda coulda woulda. Dallas was being held all night by the Eagles and the Chargers had more to be pissed off about in their game. But getting your panties in a bunch over one call that DIDNT..DIDNT decide the game is typical from a Saints fan. the S"aints" are average at best 9-7..
