Yep i was going to mention that one but last time it was brought up, someone was vehemently defending the call so I was like ehhh but yeah that was BSThat actually reminding me of another Pat's one ironically. We sacked Brady and he fumbled and a bunch of players drove for the ball and it got hit backwards. Would have been either 3rd and forever or 4th down but the refs called OV for batting the ball and Pat's got an automatic 1st
A few years ago the Saints (ironically) played at Hard Rock (who knows what the name was back then ).
Saints player fumbles the ball before crossing the goal line and gets a TD. The ball goes out of bounds. It should have been a touch back and first and ten on the 20 for us but it was called a TD for the Saints.
EDIT: The play is at 3:20. Unfortunately it is not a clear replay but there were replays later in the year from the other side as well as pictures where it clearly showed that the player lost the ball about a step before crossing the goal line.
I remember hearing (old enough to have watched it but my memory sucks so don't know if I did) about Csonka running the ball, bull dozing a (Vikings? ) defender and getting called for unsportsmanlike conduct? Anyone know details; does it fit this topic? Better yet, can anyone provide video? Love watching old Fin's clips.He fumbled near the 3 yard line, was a horrible call. The Pitt call was horrible also. They said no clear recovery, but the Maimi player had the ball in his hand. Refs suck !!!
That was pathetic.That actually reminding me of another Pat's one ironically. We sacked Brady and he fumbled and a bunch of players drove for the ball and it got hit backwards.

That game had 2 gaffes which cost us. The INT return that Ginn stripped at the 3 yard line that you noted. And w no time outs, NO caught a pass at the 1 before the half and the refs called TD. Thing is, he wasn’t in. So while they reviewed it NO got their FG unit on and then said f-it, we are playing w house money here and sneaked it in for a TD. We had a huge lead and that started the comeback. Had refs gotten it right and no clock stop, the half would have ended w no NO points. That’s an issue they still haven’t fixed.2009 NOLA at MIA we caused a fumble with the ball CLEARLY loose from the runner 1 yard from the goal. The ball flys across the goal with an official looking down the sideline l. calls a TD for Saints.
Snow plow game??
I need some help with this one. Wasn't there a play in the 1995 playoffs against SD, the one were Stoyanvich misses game winning 48 yard FG, where a Chargers player is going to score and he fumbled but they still called it a TD? Or something like that.
