I would respond by saying, “The super bowl your “too cute” coach cost you by calling an idiotic pass play”

I’m so sick of saints fans complaining about this. There’s was no reason to throw a pass right there and none of them are talking about that.

Run it and leave 55 seconds on the clock and Goff goes down to score and everyone says he was too conservative.

Regardless of the play call they got screwed.

If that was MSU in round 1 of the playoff to get to national championship game, I’d be devastated too.

They should've run it so pass interference and targeting SHOULD be legal on that play. Any time a coach doesn't make the percentage play, all rules are off and the defense can do whatever they like. What a solid take.****

Buddy, you haven't seen me post one time on this board complaining about when State gets screwed. But you keep fighting the good fight.

I have some friends that root for the Saints and Bama. They are still freaking out about the call and (between that and the Clemson game) believe the football gods are against them. I'm playing the world's smallest maroon violin for them.

Yeah play for a fg leaving almost a min on the clock was the way to go....and the pass play to Tommy Lee lewis would have probably sealed it, perfect play call. No one is talking about that

I'm going to bet you're not nearly the ******* in person that you pretend to be behind that keyboard. But I suppose that would be the case for most of the people on this board.

How about all the points they left on the field in the first half. If they play even half way up to the level they have all season the second half would have been just a formality. They dominated all but the last two minutes and had nothing to show for it.

One play no matter how ****** ( and it was absurdly ******) should have NOT been the deciding factor in the game. It is as big a head scratcher as them losing to my Bears at home.

It would have been a better matchup for the super bowl for sure.

ETA: the NOT. iPhone is hard for us oldtimers. I have all the empathy in the world for Saint fans but it should have NOT come down to one play and the public display in Nawlins yesterday just makes an awesome fan group look bad. I would say the same if it was happening in Chicago.

If someone cannot see a problem....

with a playoff game having 4 officials from the area of one of the teams, and just so happen that the worst non-call pass interference in history of the sport was in plain view of 3 of the 4 officials, then there is really nothing that can be said to such a person.

I personally don't want to see that in sports and can't imagine why anyone would.

Wrestling is a rigged sport, but that entertainment is around acrobatics and story lines.

When people allow that stuff to go on to satisfy the masses (larger tv audiences), then you wake up one day with a ruined product. The people benefiting from the calls don't say anything and the people getting screwed start not after going through that crap.

I don't mind a mistake being made, but that was no mistake. I saw it real time with the officials and it was no question in my mind.

From the vantage point of my seat, I was looking over the shoulder of one of the officials. That speed of the game comment is complete crap.

It's evident that it was a PI, looking at the camera angle shown on TV, but If you were looking at it from the side view, it was criminal not throwing the flag.

I saw a lot of other crazy no calls during that game. For the rest of the game, I could help but to wonder on what else they didn't throw the flag.

You can say what you want about cry babies, coulda, woulda, shoulda, but they just sold the H3LL out of papers. Strong move and the national news will pick up on it, if they haven't already.

Sure we could have done better in the first half but we weren’t playing the bucs. It was the NFC championship game. You sound like Bama fans with the Calvin Ridley Pass. Shouldn’t have let it come down to one play

Pointing out the nonstop complaining of a blown call as “cry baby” is being an *******?

i watched the SB with a couple saints fans yesterday and told them I thought the fan base and players were over the top about it.
