re: Saints fans, which was worse, 2011 or 2018?

They were going to come into the Dome and beat us after having lost by 25 there earlier in the season?

Kinda like the Saints beating the Rams by double digits in the regular season then blowing a 13pt lead with a HoF QB in the championship game IN THE DOME?

What makes it even worse is that the Rams acknowledge that they stole the game

McVay said there was nothing wrong.

The Gurley initial TD was ruled down
The face mask is 15 yards now no matter what and a first. Instead it was not ruled and no new series of downs

The cooks missed face mask (ended up being a TD)
The missed delay of game that allowed a Saints TD.

I mean both teams got jobbed

But as I said Champ teams don’t blow leads at home and don’t have turnovers in their end to lose the game

So now it’s 4 calls

There are more but there were two that were bad and notice the parentheses and who is complaining

Just pointing out there were as egregious missed calls

and if you're going to list other missed calls, Brees had to roughing the passers that went uncalled (Suh on one and then on the INT)

You could even argue Thomas was hit on the INT

and there was an INT on that slot out route a bit before as well. The announcers mentioned that as well.

2011 was hard, simply because we felt it was the best team ever assembled in our history.

2017 was awful because of the huge swing of momentum from the first half to the bullshite that occurred with 10 seconds remaining.

2018 was the worst of the three. Yes, Payton should have run the ball and forced the timeouts, but hindsight is 20/20, right? Well, looking back to those playcalls, I no longer have issue with them. The issue I see is blatant disregard for the rules by a player, then by the referees that are literally paid to enforce them. It doesn't matter what Sean called those first two plays, since we all know that Lewis was either gonna score, or gain the necessary yardage to actually run the clock out and set up a game-winning field goal. Instead, we ate 13 seconds of clock and only one of their timeouts. You know the rest.

A pick that should have been called back due to a roughing the passer call or not even existing if the refs were competent.

i would say what happened yesterday.

i'd love to hear what the ref or refs (cause two them had a clear view) thought they saw or didn't see on that play.

a six year old knows that pass interference.

it was a poorly officiated game on both sides and that's unacceptable for a championship game.

Josh Hill received a helmet-to-helmet hit and didn't return to the game (no flag). And all that talk before the year started was that the league was gonna crack down on those hits.

i would have rather the Saints lose by 30 than lose how we did.

and the missed PI before that on the out route puts the saints in fg range

and pretty sure we had to settle for 3 on the missed roughing the passer when SUh shoved Brees to the ground a good second after he threw the ball

we can do this part all day. because lots of calls are missed in a game. The point in this one in particular is that it was so blatant, and the refs were right next to the play, and the flag effectively put the Saints in the SB.

there simply should be some sort of remedy to these egregious missed calls.
