Unfortunately, it wasn't tipped. This camera angle makes it look that way.
 
You know the truth is we all play under the same rules. That means we all deal with bad calls. Sometimes they go in your favor and sometimes they don’t. Sometimes they may be make up calls. Either way, we are in the SB. The Saints aren’t. We have had to accept a bad call many times. One of the worst (fake punt call week 9 I believe) was against the very Saints team we played. That call may have cost us HF advantage. This is the nature of the NFL.

Here's the bottom line for the umpteenth time:

Bad call, we obviously got a break. But bad calls happen all the time in NFL games, there will be some on Sunday. That's the human element to officiating (See face mask; Goff). If this PI play happened in the first quarter, no one would care even though it potentially could have cost the Saints points and had just as big an impact on the final score. That's called recency bias.

Saints are whiny bitches. They and the media in their back pockets (see Esiason, Boomer) want to isolate that singular play in a vacuum. Nothing that transpired after it should have happened in their view and but the real kicker is, nothing that happened before that play (see facemask, Goff) matters either.

Doesn't work that way. So f off Saints.

I didn't realize that AD99's face mask got harrassed and he still made a push. Offsetting penalities replay 3rd down :rimshot:

Hands to the face on Donald the no call p.i. play: Upper left.

Not sure why people believe the grab of Goff's facemask was incidental or didn't turn his head. I guess he didn't care about Demario Davis about to hit him. Maybe a cute woman in the stands caught his attention.

NRC said he heard an official say it was tipped. Even if it wasn’t, that could have been enough for an official to not throw the flag.

If the ref right in front of the play hears another ref who was supposed to be watching the line say it was tipped then he doesn’t throw the flag because he wasn’t watching the line. He was watching the receiver and db

You can tell the ball wasn't tipped even from that angle bc the rotation nor direction of the ball is altered by Brockers hand.

NRC after the game said the official said it was tipped. So perhaps that is why no flag was thrown?

Sorry for adding to this thread that needs to die, but...

Yeah, the official likely thought it was tipped because there was traffic in front of Brees, but no contact and the ball came out wobbly. Normally, Brees throws a pretty tight spiral and humans are pattern recognition machines. I think that's why Warner didn't get as many calls in some respects... because he was known to throw more than a few ducks.

So, in the moment, with everyone flying around, an untouched Brees threw a duck and the refs likely projected that it was because it was tipped and hence the no call.

It's more an indication that people can sometimes be fooled by visual cues.

On to the Super Bowl!!!
