SF 2012, Seattle 2011 and 2014, Minnesota 2018 and 2020, LA 2019 Tampa Bay 2021. It has been a rough 10 years in the playoffs.



Saints were the best team in the NFL in 2011, and 2018. Very close in 2017 and 2020.

The no-call will always be the worst followed by SF.

I was on the Saints sidelines for the Minnesota Miracle. The comeback to get there was insane. The Kamara touchdown, the team celebrating, it was all incredible. I was depressed for what felt like 3 months.

After the no call in the NFCGC, I was over it by mid week. I told myself after the Minny Miracle I couldn't get that wrapped up ever again emotionally in a game.

and turn the ball over on the goal line instead of scoring really set the tone for that game.


sure that was a blown TD that could have made the difference but we still overcame 5 TO's and had the lead TWICE in the last 4 minutes with those huge TD passes to sproles and graham. the D had two shots to get a stop late and shite the bed.

No call
Miracle
Vernon

49ers beat us, just disappointing bc we had a great team and it was a close game. The miracle sucked hard but it happens. The no call was the league fixing the game

The no-call is number 1. But I think the 49ers comeback was our year to win another Lombardi. We coupd have beat the Giants and then taken it to the weak Patriots!!!


We definitely beat the Giants the following week to go to the super bowl

2011 Vernon Davis ended the season for the greatest offensive team that the Saints have ever had. They were not the best overall Saints team, but they had the best offense we’ve ever had.


All these could have been avoided except the no call. But even with that, if your boy woukd have stayed on the ground a few mins holding his head, b/c he did take a head shot, one of the refs would have thrown a flag. Instead he pops right up like a dumass.

All double G had to do was fake a blitz on that last drive and drop in coverage. He blitzed every single down that last drive. Cost us a W with maybe the best team we ever had.

The Minny miracle, all they had to do was hold the receivers at the line preventing them from going out. It’s 5 yards for the first penalty, 15 for the second. You do that twice, and they only have time for one Hail Mary at the end.

9ers and Vikings losses were both 100% on coaching.

Brees got us the lead at the very end of all three of those games including the Nola no call, and both Vikings playoff games. D let him down in all of them. Whoever was blaming Brees knows jack shite about football.

The no call hurt the worst.

I was there. There was ZERO question. I wasn't close.

Why do you all blame fluke calls/situations that happen every game but no fault is directed at the great drew brees?



This is a response to the Nola No Call.

It changed a 1st and Goal from the 5 to a 4th and 10 from the 13 with 1:49 to go in a tie game. If we get the call, we run the clock down and FG or run the clock down and score. It changed the outcome of the game.

Minnesota for me. That was just terrible. They all sucked honestly but that comeback was electric. The whole final play
