Saints just got screwed by the NFL 'powers that be'...

I hope there is such an uproar that they have to clean house. The non-call on the PI near the end of regulation is the most egregious non-call I've seen in either Pro or College football that I can remember. I firmly believe it was all about the LA market. Anybody not blind saw it.
P.S. I hope the local LEOS refuse to provide escort for any of the NFL 'officials', whatever their position...

Yeah and how about that non call facemask a few plays before that against Goff at the goal line.

How about the hands to face on Brees on the INT play in OT?

I understand about close calls and the speed of the game. The PI WASN'T close!

Refs nowadays are the worst I have seen in years in all sports and all ages.

I see that and I think organized crime. I simply can’t buy that officials at that level can’t get that call right. That was not a difficult call. That was not a close call. That did not occur in a crowd. That was not a bang bang call. It was as obvious as a call gets.....and nothing. Looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck. Pays like Carlo Gambino.

They've been calling PI's all year long on DBs for breathing on the WR too hard but they let that go.

If they can't even decide what a catch is

After a review, WHY would anyone get a PI call in real time? I've watched enough NFL to firmly believe the game is not on the 'up and up'. It has more plot twists and turns than a soap opera.

The NFL is legally a "sports entertainment" league

They manipulate lots of games. Ever noticed all the PI'S they call near the end of games to keep them close? Happens all the time....
Having said that...Screw the Saints!

The Saints are my NFL Uof5C and can't stand them. Anything that help cause them to lose is fine by me.

The NFL had to spark interest in the 2nd largest market in the U.S. Come Hades or High Water! The Chargers vs. Rams would have been too obvious!
Even with all they have done; their attendance is still poor! These folks are what you call; " " well I don't want to say " " but they don't learn from their mistakes! Greed is making them do it; " " is keeping them there. And keeping the "force a fan base to happen" culture!
- OK, done with conspiracy hour, LOL!

I'm 74 years old, and I have never seen a worse non call in my life. That ref should be banished from the NFL

For what it's worth, refs always

suck giant green donkey dongs when it comes to calling pass interference. In today's world of "let 'em play" nonsense, rules are an archaic inconvenience, and no ref has the guts to do his job in that situation, pro or college. It just happened at the worst possible time tonight.

There was a blatant PI by Rams late in 2nd quarter also

that wasn't called. DB had receiver wrapped up before Brees even released the ball!
