Game 1: Rams vs. Saints thread

[Sydla]

Dude, you're the only person here who saw all of these game defining missed calls against the Rams.
Everyone else in the world saw the truth with that missed DPI.

Read my posts more closely.

I didn’t say it wasn’t a bad call. But acting like this was part of some sort of league mandate to get the Rams to win is idiotic.

Plus, the Saints got way more beneficial calls this game than the Rams. A few of those calls go right and maybe the score is different at that point.

 

[Sydla]

Syd, I'm just curious, what would you call it? Yes, the Saints got all Linehan after the 2:00 warning but that shouldn't negate an obvious PI.

It was PI.

But the outrage over the call here and the rationalizations are insane.

 

[khiladi]

So in other words your “theory” that the league wanted the Rams and had the officials apparently skew the game gets blown to hell and now you don’t care and the fact that for much of the game the Rams were the ones on the end of questionable calls doesn’t matter.

LOL.

What questionable calls? This was a call that there was no question about, that determined the end of the game point blank. There were absolutely no calls like this one, none whatsoever.

 

[Don Corleone]

The Saints have had tons of calls in their favor all year. See the horrible PI call the Steelers got this season in the Superdome.

Ok. What are insane about the rationalizations?

I would like to have seen if the Saints would have scored there rather than not having a call; especially when we all agree that it was a missed PI call.

LOL...Going after MIcheal Thomas...still carrying a grudge from the first game.

Rams are POS..

I usually don't agree with you but when I do I give you a like.

 

[glimmerman]

The idea that the refs apparently “threw” the game because the league wanted the Rams in the SB, for example.

When they blow obvious calls it kind of makes it look that way. Lol. Not saying that’s what happens.

 

[Floatyworm]

Oh Snap!

That's what I thought too...they could have called helmet to helmet there...but didn't. So much for player safety...

DC, we're not talking about past games only this one.

Sean Payton has been calling out the NFL. He was saying just this year they were pushing to have him fired during Bountygate. I love Sean Payton. The guy sugarcoats nothing.

You seriously can't defend this....

Dude...just go to the kitchen right now...and grab yourself some tinfoil like the rest of us...and just make a hat right now. It's not that bad.

@ least you won't be brainwashed by the league anymore. Get your life back.

My point is that no Saints fan complained that day over an egregious call on a Pitt defender. These things usually even out over time.

I understand that. However, that was a regular season game. This game was about going to a SB and possibly winning a championship. I'm dubbing this game The Royal Screw Job.

 

[dogberry]

The play where the Saints' TE was concussed was helmet to helmet.

One of the players should have been called.

 

[cowboyec]

took the nfc champs to beat us.

 

[mmohican29]

I would. It's like the NFL is fixed. The refs are doing nothing to squash that narrative.

Fixed no. Steered? I'll vote yes.

 

[Melonfeud]

Then complain about the fact the Ram got hosed on calls early and the Saints went almost three full quarters with zero penalties on them.

And,so, what exactly is you're point your repeatedly attempting to illustrate?,,, Man, I've probably seen half dozen of yer' posts containing this very same subject matter,,,

Does anyone think that the Rams kind of play a little dirty?

Off topic: But I want a Peters and Norman after game fight.

I'm sure a phone call from the League's office helps them to "steer" the game in the favorable direction.
