My brother and I were going ballistic. The original broadcast slow motion replay (which remains missing to this day) revealed what makes the play in the Saints-Rams NFCCG look legitimately questionable. (Yes.) It was right in front of the ref. And, the worst was yet to come. This was the quintessential home job. All the hyperbole attached to supposed ripoffs is and always will only be applicable to this game.I would be interested to hear what one of the more mature posters here has to say about that play involving Francis.
John Madden is a good man, and an extremely nice person, an ambassador for the game and showed heroic compassion for Darryl Stingley for which I'm grateful.I was too young to watch him play myself but until he took his last breath, my dad remained furious about the lack of a pass interference call on the Raiders in the 1976 playoff game. According to my dad the patriots just needed a first down to seal the game and run out the clock. Grogan threw a pass to Frances and the DB “pinned both of his arms to his sides” (my dad’s words) but no call was made. This may have been one play before Sam “Bam” Cunningham inexplicably ran out of bounds 1 yard short of the first down marker. Those are two of the three plays that he never could get over, the third, of course, being the terrible roughing the passer call, which may have been the correct call in 2019 but it sure as sh’*t was not in 1976.
