Saints. Got. Screwed!

[Schoonerman]

As an Atlanta Falcons fan, I could never cheer for the New Orleans Saints and seeing them lose is nothing short of delightful (I feel the same about OU-texas X 10). However, that non-call on pass interference by the Ram DB was absolutely dreadful and the refs handed the game to the Rams. The Saints were driving and had to settle for a field goal due to the horribly blown non-call. Something tells me the refs in the NFC Championship Game may not be asked to participate in the SuperBowl.

Makes one wonder that with all the replay gadgets incorporated nowadays for sports, such a blown call could be ignored. Were ANY zebras watching that play ???
The Patriots had some shaky calls as well, but I believe they were the better team when all was said and done. I thought the Chiefs' inability to score in the entire first half doomed them.

LSU fans are probably Saints fans, too.

I laughed

.... and I talked to someone in LA this morning and mentioned the Rams going to the Super Bowl. He said "that's cool, I guess". Gotta love the passion

One guy blowing that call is bad enough, but when every other ref keeps his flag in his pocket that’s inexcusable. You know damn well that other refs on the field got a good look at the play. Refs should be allowed to make a call anywhere on the field if it’s that obvious.

Don't care. These same Saints fans down here rejected the call on the Dez Bryant non catch.

Nowhere near the same. Dez’s reception wasn’t totally obvious to all the refs. Sunday’s no call was. Stupid fans that won’t admit a blown call is one thing, but the NFL not having a way to correct something like this on the field is ridiculous.

Heard on the news yesterday some Saints fans are suing the NFL for the blown no call for PI. Lol good luck with that.

There was a story on the front page of Google that mentioned the Commish has the rights according to several noted clauses to step in and correct the situation somehow but very unlikely at this point. Perhaps if he would have taken action by Monday...

I think he's waiting for the Rams to beat the Pats. Then, he'll give the trophy to the Saints

It was a catch by definition to the point the rule was explained at a presser the following day by officials from the NFL.

My point is so what they got it wrong. Sue them.
Wait! Some fool w emotional issues is .

So how does the DB get a 26,000.00 fine today for a helmet to helmet hit on the that play?

He would not be the first person ever sent a fine without a penalty called on the field. Far, far from it.
