Did the refs rob New Orleans

[chipped ham]

KC got screwed a couple of times.

While I agree, their defense was way too Steelers-esque on that OT drive. There were two 3rd and 9’s, as well as a 3rd and 10, and they didn’t make a stop any time. KC tied for the league lead in sacks with us, and didn’t register a single one tonight. Also, Dee Ford can **** right off. Stupid son of a ***** lines up offsides on a pass that gets picked off, and would’ve ended the damn game. Look down the ******* line, and line yourself up correctly, dickweed. If I was Mahomes, or the dback who picked that pass, I’d have to go all Buddy Ryan on him, and jack him across the jaw. Took a Super Bowl trip away not for jumping offsides, no, YOU WERE LINED UP OFFSIDES!

If they get the correct call the Saints run it three times and either score a touchdown or kick the game winning field goal with just a few seconds on the clock.

Okay, Nostradamus.

 

[Buster]

We’re the refs doing that Birdbox challenge at the time?

 

[Buster]

Okay, Nostradamus.

Ummmm....99.9% he’s right on that one.

So did the pats but you guys only see it one sided. What a out the illegal pick or the pass interference on gronk down the sideline to gronk. I’m sure the clowns on here would be much better actually being there and not being able to make the call after watching it on tv 20 x

NO still kicked the FG and took the lead, and allowed LA to score two more times.
It was a horrible missed call though

Yes, but with the 1st and goal inside the 5, NO would have held the ball and run out the clock. The game was over. The officials stole the game.

The head of officiating called and apologized to the Saints immediately after the game for the blatant missed PI call and helmet to helmet call on that play. An apology means nothing. They better fire a couple more refs to try and save face

I agree with all of that, they missed at least 3 face mask calls that NO committed, but the entire crew should be fired.
I was simply pointing out that NO still took the lead and had a chance to stop LA.

9 trips to the SB in 18 years, yeah, boy they sure have gotten screwed. Please, the whole face of the game has changed because of their whining and the favoritism that they've been shown because of it. "Don't hit our WRs, don't hit our QB, don't penalize us too harshly for our blatant cheating!" They had 5 PI calls against them for the whole damn year. But I'm sure that's all because of genius coaching and his ability to find anyone off the street to play DB like a blend of Prime time and Mel Blount. Please.

LOL. you mean the NE special. NE have been running picks forever.

The Saints would have gotten home field without beating the Steelers. They would have had to play their starters and beat a bad Carolina team at home. They could have easily won that game if they needed to.

Thank you. I have to question any football fan who cries karma about some call that was blown in our game? Give me a ******* break with that childish nonsense. Every fan should want the games to be decided by the players, on the field. The Saints had one egregious non call cost them a SB appearance. There is nothing you can say to justify/sign off on it. It's a damn joke.

 

[FAB802]

Yes they got robbed, but now the Saints fans know how we felt after getting robbed by the refs back when we played them. That cost us a playoff appearance.

LOL, please. We lost a double digit half time lead and choked against SD. We lost to the ******* Raiders. Those two games cost us the playoffs. Stop with that NO call costing us the playoffs bullshit. And NO would have gotten home field anyways. They would have played their starters the last week and beat the **** out of Carolina.

 

[Yinzerlyn]

How about the play call when the Saints had 2nd and 20 and they call a RUN???? Yes, that was a HORRIBLE non-call. But the play calling prior to that was pretty ****** as well.

A little easier to give up a lead against SD when the refs hand them a free touchdown. Same thing happened in New Orleans. The calls are the sole reason for losses, but to deny the significance is ridiculous.

 

[topseed]

Why doesn't the NFL just recognize penalty calls/non-calls as challengeable?

It doesn't make sense that the head ref can use his own subjectivity to affirm or overturn all kinds of other important plays, but not a blatant missed call like that.

 

[Steelworth]

Ummmm....99.9% he’s right on that one.

You're right and Coach is right. I thought for some reason he only said TD which is definitely not a gimme, but he didn't, so just call me Nostradumbass, Coach.

 

[Steelin]

Robbed ... so robbed. The gif of that PI is brutal. That they let it go is unconscionable.

 

[wig]

Well, in the makes Wig happy category, the N.O. owner isn't falling into lock-step with the league.

She's PISSED!

QUICK....File a lawsuit so we can replay the end of our game, get into the playoffs and have Tomlin fake a punt on 4th and 14 on our own 8 yard line against the Pats in the AFC Championship game

Not only that, if NO runs the Ball three times, they kick the winner w about 1:00 or less an no LA timeouts left. Very different scenario.
