Whistle didn't blow until he was in the process of going down when the safety came up to end the play. The flag wasn't thrown until after the Drew Brees pushing fit, its a reactionary flag from the Refs based on Brees reaction. Even saints fans I know said that they thought the flag was on Brees.
I have a feeling this will be one of the much more common ones where Romo carries the team to a win which will then be immediately forgotten.
I thought I remember seeing it out as he got slammed but I also thought Brees was going to get a flag for what he did when he got up. I certainly don't agree with all the flags that get thrown for hitting the QB but I feel that one was warranted. I am also probably one of the few people glad to see the secondary getting flagged more for all their holding and pushing and shit then again you are talking to someone who hates low score good defensive games.
This. I didn't think it needed explaining, but I guess I overestimated the intelligence of some people.
Honestly, I'm not seeing Romo carry very much. I am seeing the Rams just giving it away. Pretty sure you or I could have scored on that last drive. 33 yard penalty followed by a completely blown coverage.
