Proof the 2018 NFC championship call was not blown but orchestrated

No, shite. They wanted LA in the game. This will be the same with KC. NFL will do its job to make sure Taylor is a part of the Super Bowl. Baltimore going to get fricked unless they blow out KC.

Proof the 2018 NFC championship call was not blown but orchestrated
Bill Vinovich, the ref in charge of that crew and call has been named head referee for the Super Bowl.

If that call was considered as bad to the NFL as it was to Saints fans and the media then the risk of it repeating would have prevented that decision.

Plus, ALL FOUR REFS on the field for that game and on that play RESIDED in or near Los Angeles. Hmmmmm.
Also, why did the officials in the press box not stop the game to review that call?
Also, I read in the TP last week on the 5-anniversary of that game, that THE HEAD OF NFL OFFICIALS personally called Payton THAT NIGHT to ADMIT that they missed the call.
So:
* EVERYONE WATCHING THE GAME ON TELEVISION
* ALL THE BROADCAST ANNOUNCERS CALLING THAT GAME
* EVERY BREATHING SOUL INSIDE THE SUPERDOME FOR THAT GAME

saw that the Rams DB hit Lewis TEN CENTURIES before the ball got there (and did a helmet-to-helmet hit)........

E-X-C-E-P-T....

""""""""""""" O - N - E """""""""""" man???? Vinovich ???

So ONE man cost an entire region not only a Super Bowl appearance, but untold millions in revenue ?????

And....

He is STILL allowed to referee NFL games ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

If you were fixing a game because you wanted a certain team in the SB, is that the way you’d do it? Blow a call late but leave the team you want to win behind needing a 48 yard FG to tie and send it to OT. Then have them lose the toss in OT and win in a 57 yard FG?

2 plays before the blown call Brees threw the ball at Thomas feet or Thomas walks into the EZ. The Saints also were up 13-0 in the first. Did the league cause the Saints opening drive to stall or they one after an INT set them up on the 17?

It was a the officiating equivalent of Buckner letting the ball between the legs but it wasn’t “fixed”. The Saints had ample chances to win and arguably should have anyway

There was nothing about that play that was reviewable. The PI being reviewable was only a thing that year after that play

Also, this will get DV to hell, but it wasn't Vinovich's call. Vinovich is watching the QB until after he releases the ball, he is then panning over to the play. I doubt he could tell the DB got there early. Now the other 2 (maybe 3 if you include the BJ) should be out of the league.

Penalties for the game:
Rams 7-64
Saints 3-20

Well that solves it. Since they had 7 penalties accepted against them all game, there was no PI on the "no call play", Fowler did not put his hands on Drew's facemask on the Int in OT, MT was not held on that same play, and there is no way that the officials missed any other calls that game.

Haven't watched a game since then.

Many people forget there were 3 OBVIOUSLY blown calls late in that game. 2 were in OT on the same play. They LITERALLY tackled MT the same way and didn't blow the whistle.

The announcers played it off like it was tipped, but it wasn't even CLOSE to being tipped.

New York, thru the officiating crew, will steer the game to ensure that doesn’t happen.
