They should implement RNG into the game.
If I was going to watch, I'd watch it with a bunch of disgruntled postal workers. Now there's some entertainment.
Perfectly saidNah, I'm gonna go ahead and watch like I do every year. I'm counting on the competition committee, of whom Sean Payton is a member, to do work in the offseason.
I hope the Rams win. I want Jerry to see that coaching matters. It doesn't have to be a 20 year process.
Football won't exist in 10 years anyway. The media and politics have their sights aimed and will make sure of that.
Might as well watch it now.
No, it was a no win for N.O.
If NO could've challenged the no-call just like they can challenge other plays, NO could've and likely would've went to the Super Bowl, but it's not allowed. It's a shame that a team can be robbed for a dumb rule like that and have no recourse.
If the Cowboys had been robbed of a Super Bowl instead of NO, this board would've went BALLISTIC!
The PI on that play was SOOO obvious it was pathetic.
You're right, Goodell didn't personally blow the call, but he's the commissioner of the organization that wouldn't allow NO to challenge a really pathetic "no-call" that cost them a SB!!
Care to take any bets on whether Goodell tries to change that rule like he should?
So, I'm wondering how the NFL knew they would have that chance to screw the Saints at that point in the game? How did they know the Saints wouldn't have a wide open player in the end zone and that opportunity to ignore a pass interference would even occur?
Goodell doesn't make the rules. He's the enforcer. Not sure he even sits in on the rules committee.No, it was a no win for N.O.

My god, you are seriously out of control. Don't watch football anymore. Your problems are solved. No one has to be pawns to your world view. End of story. This board can move on to discussing the future, not the past which we can't control.
I'm not ranting or whining. It's not unreasonable to discuss officiating in a thread about the topic on an NFL forum.
The Kamara call versus Dallas was a missed a call, but it wasn't as egregious to me for a few reasons.
The call wasn't as blatant.
It wasn't a call that would have sealed the game one way the other.
It wasn't the playoffs where the officials need to be at their best.
Using a different call example doesn't take away from how bad that Saints-Rams call was. It was one of the worst calls I've ever seen--so bad that it's going to lead to a rule change.
I don't disagree that there probably will be some rule changes because of that hit, but, and at this time, 2 weeks after the fact, it has moved from discussing it to whining about it. To go day after day on the same thing turns to whining. Now you say the Smith hit wasn't as obvious but both Buck and Aikman said a flag will be coming immediately after the hit happened that never came. I see how you work now, you select which blatant missed calls are more blatant based on when they are called. Lastly I would think that we as fans would want the refs to be at their best FOR ALL GAMES, not just the playoffs. Stop your whining about it like a little kid and move on.

You see nothing about "how I work" Dr. Freud. Stop your whining about the perceived whining and move on.
See how that works?
OK go ahead and keep whining about that call. Tell me are there even older plays that you want to whine about too. How about some from oh say 1981 or here's one for you. During that 4th at the 1 in the Ice Bowl in 1967 the peckers center Ken Bowman moved the ball a second before he snapped it and no false start was call. If it was it would have been 4th at the 6 and they would have tried a field goal to tie instead of sneaking in for a TD.

If that is the future of football I won't watch it.Im thinking if the probowl is an indication of what is to come it will be flag in 10 years and gone in 20 LOL
