There are one of these types of calls every post season, as mentioned above the roughing the passer call on Brady where the DLinemen didn't even touch Brady turned a 3rd and 10 (if memory is correct) incomplete into a 7 point scoring drive. If one team is clearly better than another, it won't come down to one play or one call/missed call. Saints should have put this game away earlier, at home where they dominated the first half.
I agree. If this happens in the first half, it's probably a non-story outside of New Orleans. It sucks that it happens late, but there are bad calls throughout and outside of unique cases, they tend to even out overall. Games are lost by plays not being made, and coaches not getting it done(see Reid).
That said, this was terrible no-call, and I'd love to hear the explanation of why they called it that way. I'm even more surprised that another official didn't step in and call it.
Actually read a couple of articles this morning about the games and the SB matchup that didn’t even mention this call. How the fvkk do you not mention that call? This game should be called Super Bowl Liii- Patriots vs Rams with the no-call.
No, not a Saints fan, just detest sh!tty officiating.

they are selling the Super Bowl between the Rams and Patriots, which doesn't involve the Saints. That was over 12 hours ago, and is a done issue. They can't go back and replay the game.
Milk and ducks? Comparing the Brady call to the no-call is ludicrous. One happened in the mosh pit with arms and legs and bodies of ten to twelve men flailing all over, the other was two men, ten feet from the ref.
That schit was hilarious.But that one was worth it just see Belichick heave his iPad.

As usual, Doug is completely wrong. The NFL can do just that.they are selling the Super Bowl between the Rams and Patriots, which doesn't involve the Saints. That was over 12 hours ago, and is a done issue. They can't go back and replay the game.
It was a good no-call. Let 'em play.
You sir, may eat sh!t.
