So instead of Rams having the ball with a minute left or less and no timeouts they have it with a 1:40 left and one timeout left. Thats a big difference. Go ahead and bash or downvote i really dont care but thats what should of happened. This was the championship game to go to the Super bowl not some regular season game. You do not audible out of the run play plain and simple.
bullshite!
And if he would've caught it and we won, you wouldn't have said a damn word about any of it!!
Hindsight is 20/20 my friend!

Nope homie i was in the stands saying do not throw the ball anymore dont do it. And what he do he threw it. If he would of thrown it and scored i still would of said that was no the right thing to do but he got away with it. What if he would of thrown the ball and it got intercepted and run all the way back what the fuk would you have said then Einstein???

The issue is attempting to argue in favor of an alternate reality.
On the one hand, we have what actually happened...and that the no call on the PI that would have enabled the Saints to burn clock and kick the walk off FG. Everyone agrees it should have been called, and everyone agrees that had it been called the outcome of the game would have been the exact opposite.
On the other, you have various attempts to suggest had other things been done earlier in the game (whether it was the Saints scoring TDs instead of FG's in the 1st quarter, to officials calling penalties earlier in the game, or Payton calling three run on the last drive to burn more clock) we'd have gotten different outcome...a more preferable one to the person suggesting it.
The problem with doing this is that we have no idea what would have played out had that other thing been done. What would the reaction have been had they run it three time and kicked the FG and allowed enough time for the Rams to march down and score a TD and win? Suddenly THAT decision would have been seen as "wrong" because it ultimately did not work out. Etc.
The only thing we know for near certainty is that the calls MADE put the Saints in a position to run the clock out and kick a walk off FG BUT FOR ONE OF THE WORST NON CALLS IN NFL HISTORY. That's the only alternate worth discussing, because it's only one we can comfortably say we know the alternate ending to.
