I know there is a Saints thread in NFL talk, but this specifically effected us so I thought I'd post it here. Joe Staley mentioned he thought it was odd how he got punched in the face in that game, and I'm pretty sure they got away with quite a bit of other stuff also. I don't think they really succeeded at injuring anyone, and it's kind of funny they still failed. Here's the link:

7. Though the report doesn't expressly say it, the Saints apparently used the bounty system during the 2011 playoffs, when they faced the Lions and the 49ers.

But, Ginn was injured in the game, leading to KW as the return man, leading to the fumbles...

Ginn got hurt walking back the the huddle...LOL. Was the weirdest injury I've ever seen.

Seriously tho...he got hurt when he was runnig backward and tripped over a guy. He was barely touched. Then he was lining up on the next snap and just fell down. You didn't see it on TV, but I was there. It was odd. He just kinda fell down before the snap.

One would've thought that we used the bounty system on them since we physically beat them down, taking out Pierre Thomas and Jimmy Graham in the beginning of the game.

I wonder if they had mind control over Ted Ginn and had him run his dumbass into Crabtree's knee.

Yeah people say Ginn but it wasn't even a saints player that hurt him.

One could say the saint's injuries were Karma, but even that is a stretch. Just playoff football players get hurt.
