Coaches get fined by the NFL for complaining about officiating, but are the New Orleans Saints trying to say something with the picture they’ve posted on their website?

The photo clearly shows Minnesota linebacker Chad Greenway grabbing Reggie Bush by the facemask, a violation that went uncalled by referee Ed Hochuli -– yes, the official who blew the fumble call in the Sept. 14 San Diego-Denver game –- and his crew.

Had the facemask call been made in Monday night’s game, it would have kept a first-half drive alive. The photo was first reported by ProFootballTalk.com.

I called the Saints about it this morning, and they said it was the highest-resolution shot they had of Bush, who returned two punts for touchdowns in the 30-27 loss.

Yes, I’m sure that’s why they posted it.
