The referee who resides near the LA area, with total attention focused on the receiver getting blasted, did not throw the flag. It is not controversial, because "controversial" that implies it is mildly reasonable NOT to throw a flag. It was clearly a penalty, without excuse, completely undisputed by any football fan, that the flag should have been thrown. 99% chance the Saints win if that penalty is called, when the Rams have no timeouts.
The eyeball test, for those paying attention, clearly shows the game outcome was changed. End of discussion. If you endorse fixed games, then make your choice about what to watch, it's a free country.
Gee were you this upset when Jaylon Smith got away with an obvious helmet to helmet hit along the sidelines to saints RB Alvin Kamara on a 3rd down and forced a punt? Get over it. There have been blatant blown calls since the NFL started and will continue. WHY, because NOBODY goes through life without making mistakes. Well except for the fans who continue to whine who think they never make mistakes so they can't get over it when a ref does. BTW you're right on the saints would have won that game if the flag was thrown but you're are WRONG on one thing, minor as it is, the rams had 1 time out left at the time. So gee you make mistakes, right in the middle of your own rant but you can't let it go that a ref or group of refs made a mistake.
