And yet...SP has the gall to cry after the fake punt about interference because he doesn't know the rules as well as our special teams player, be pissy after the game about the "officiating" (bro it was mostly homecookin) and then Brees says how it would have been nice to have Cook like we took him out Bountygate style? Dude it was clearly not headhunting and a borderline call IMO anyway. They whine so much.
49ers have gotten jobbed all year with officiating, schedule and injuries but they have not complained or made excuses, just handled business and embraced the challenges as a team. Its been cool to see.
I think it's hilarious that people were calling the Spoon hit on Cook dirty.
It's pretty ironic that it's very similar to the play that happened vs Baltimore where some on here were calling out Spoon for not going for the hit(IMO he got caught trying to make a decision whether to go for the hit or play the ball cuz it looked like the TE may not be able to get it out of the air for the pick)
This time he made the decision and went for the hit. IMO it was a borderline penalty anyways and I still think that shouldn't count as a catch but it is what it is now. But I'm not sure how another football team who understands the game can act like that was an unnecessary hit.
I guess defenders should just try to let guys come down with TDs without trying to hit them or knock the ball out at all? It wasn't helmet to helmet. He got him with the shoulder.
It's absolutely nuts that Saints would be complaining about injuries or officiating in this game. I have no pitty for those s**theads. Were they complaining after the Ahmad Brooks hit years ago which probably cost us a SB? Didn't think so.
