Then we are screwed already. Morelli and his crew are more to blame for the Saints going to bvb the SB in the 08-09 season than Dirty Greg William's and Bountygate and Favres int at end of game. He and his crews horrible calls were blatantly in favor of the NFL wanting the Saints to go to the SB because of the Katrina disaster. It is sickening to go back in my mind and remember the things they did to help the Vikes lose. I still remember Rich Eisen calling that game "The game of the ghost calls" and showing the PI penalty on Leber when the Saints WR fell and Leber was 3 steps behind him and that kept a N.O. scoring drive alive. Then when Pierre Thomas went over the top and did get a 1st down, but fumbled the ball, and it was recovered by a lineman behind the 1st down line, on 4th down. Should have been Vikes ball, but gave N.O. 1st down and they ended up scoring.
I could go on and on, but I'm just getting more pissed as I type.
Bottom line is that jerk Morelli always tries to screw us in every game he calls for us, so we better make it very dominating. He needs to retire and stick with being an elementary school principle.

Don't forget Shiancoe being basically raped, and no P.I call was given.
I couldn't agree more. The zebra crew were either incredibly stupid that day, or they were told to let the Saints win. Plus they allowed the Saints to play like they did.
It still hurts even now.

They've beat us at home in three of the last four years.

Oh believe me we could go on and on about calls that day. And the way they allowed N.O. did half kill Favre every chance they could. There will NEVER be anyone that could convince me that the NFL wanted to be sure the Saints got to the SB. The most 1sided blatantly called game I've ever seen, WAY worse than the Steelers-Seahawks SB game. And it isn't the last time Morelli's crew has hosed us. Whenever I saw Morelli, and thank God the now retired Ron Winters, and their crews were calling our games I knew we had to blow the opponent out.

By all reports I've read Diggs rib issue is more of a pain tolerance thing and basically just resting him. Probably get the needle in the ribs and will be out there. Hope that's the case.

Shoot, I hope they don't play Cook at all. Hammy's notoriously take a long time to heal. He should stay off the field until after the Bye.
