The idea that the officials took the game away from the Saints is silly.
Consider:
-The Saints led the game 13-0 and 20-10 and could not hold the lead
-The Saints play calling was horrendous. Every option play for Hill/Kamara was terrible and they fumbled
-The pass play on 1[SUP]st[/SUP] and 10 from the 13 with under 2 minutes was laughable.
-The Saints had the lead after the missed PI call
-The Saints won the toss in OT
-Goff outplayed Brees
This is an opinion, fine, some of which I agree with, some of which I do not.
BUT your opinion is irrelevant to the issue, however.
You can say things like this about any losing team, even a HOF QB and a Super Bowl winning head coach.
The issue is the worst blatant call imaginable, with two officials right there, that changed the outcome and a #1 seed does not get to go to the Super Bowl.
The NFL admitted it was an incorrect call.
SHOULD have been first down, clock runs out, Saints kick short FG, game over... instead Rams get the ball back and a chance.
Again your statements, correct or not, are not relevant to the issue we are discussing.
