Game Thread: Rams @ Saints

[chasa]

its going to be a great superbowl.

Rams youth vs the Patriots veterans

two of the brightest offenses in the league squaring off.

Let's be honest, that play was a pick six if Robey Coleman plays it well and then Brees got a makeup call and threw a pick in OT. That call was **** but Brees came up wanting.

Agree & disagree.
Pick was not on Brees.
Still, he came up wanting.
He's no Brady. Great but not elite.

Embarrassing for the NFL. Saints ripped off by horrible no call. Decided the game. Goodell should be ashamed. Field Judge or Line Judge blew it. #OfficialOnTheTake

 

[ViperGTS]

The league is salivating now.

Be careful Pats.

The owners and in conjunction with Goodell are at full staff right now.

Thats some scary stuff indeed.

Still can't believe the no-call on Lewis, but why in the world didn't the Saints run the ball? What am I missing? What's the downside of killing clock?

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

nah, they won't smeer him like they do Brady.

Probably not, but about the worst 2nd half + ot I could have seen him having. Other than dink and dunks to the rb he couldn’t do anything. The only downfield throw he completed should have been picked

 

[MoreBellhorn]

That no call is absolutely egregious. The Saints not running it on first down with less than two minutes might be more egregious. Plenty of blame for both sides.

If the NFL had any semblance of the integrity they often vliviate about, they would send SB checks to each saints player on the 53 this week. After all, they were pretty good sports about getting ****ed by the refs.

Sorry @pherein if you’re reading this.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Can’t wait for Al Riveron’s explanation

 

[Foxypats]

I can't believe the Saints blew that

 

[primetime]

There won't be "what about Brees' legacy?!" hot takea but boy this game was not his finest hour. It will get buried under ref complaints but truth is the refs gave him a makeup call in OT and he promptly threw a pick.

 

[IcyPatriot]

Will Max Kellerman say Brees is off the cliff?

The Saints not trying to kill the clock will get forgotten after the bad non call.

Saints were robbed. Probably worst no call ever I saw in the NFL.
Pray we don't get this type of call later that will effect the result.
GO PATS

 

[TB12GOATQB]

Bad calls or not the Saints terribly mismanaged the end of the game.

This Rams team looks ripe. Has 2 road teams EVER swept the conf champ games? Yikes

Held the ball with a rusher up the gap. It wasn't entirelt his fault, of course, but he's as to blame as Brady was for the strip sack in the Super Bowl.

 

[LightSkinSmurf]

The no call was absolutely horrendous no doubt.....But let's not ignore the fact the saints still had a chance to win and brees threw in interception. Refs miss calls all the time. The saints still had their fate in their hands and they literally threw it away.

 

[reflexblue]

Refs made a bad call but saints also made many bad calls. They could’ve run the clock down but didn’t.

That was the epitome of pass interferance and was obvious, there was nothing ticky tack about running into the reciever. The defender wasn't looking for the ball, the reciever was, and it was out in the open, nothing to block the refs(who should be fired) view.
