Before the No Call PI...

You’re on the 18 yard line. Why not run the ball 3 times, eat some clock and set up the chip shot FG? Take the refs out of it, the play calling was a little Mullenesque.

Exactly.

This is a Grown *** Man post.

If you look at the timing the rams still get a fg to tie it

The Rams had 2 timeouts left. If the Saints ran the ball twice. They would have kicked a field goal with about one minute of time left. The Rams were hitting field goals from Hammond. They would have only had to drive about 30 yards for a good try.

IIRC, the Rams had one TO at that point. The Saints threw incomplete passes on first and third down (third down being the blown PI call). So, they would have made their FG drive without any timeouts and 40 seconds less than the 1:46 they had if the Saints had run the ball three times right there.

I just checked the game log and they actually had two timeouts, so they could have forced LA to use all their timeouts at least, which would have made it more difficult for them.
