The helmet to helmet pass interference play could be seen as complete incompetence.

The other missed calls during the game might be ruled and viewed as the speed of the game.

When the refs realized that their mistake may have cost the Saints a victory, why not show more care in overtime getting the calls right.

When the Saints were on their drive in overtime to potentially win the game an interception sealed their fate and the game.

On that play, Brees is blasted in the face without a roughing the passer call.

On the same play, the Saints intended WR was held resulting in the realistic game ending interception.

If the refs were truly calling a fair game, they had two opportunities on the interception play to make all previous officiating errors go away.

They choice to not enforce the rules on two critical plays that may have decided the game.

The preponderance of the evidence is very damaging.

The NFL will edit the highlight video in a manner to fit their narrative.

However, a trained impartial observer of all game footage would determine that the refs showed true intent to steer and direct an outcome favoring the Saints opponent.

Yes, there appeared to be complicit intent from the entire officiating crew to manipulate and facilitate an outcome favoring the Saints opponent.

Right I am more mad about the two no calls on the INT in OT. Whereas you have a tap to Brady in the 2nd game that is "roughing". I don't want to say games are rigged but I think there is definitely a sway that is stressed to referees.

Calling the rams for double the amount of penalties & triple the amount of penalty yards was a strong strong cover by the referees

And with the league’s emphasis on “player safety”, for those two officials, it should be a fireable offense.

But it won’t be, because it wasn’t incompetence.

I agree with those who say that, on that play, with two officials looking directly at what happened, the visual evidence is sufficient to allow the conclusion that the Officials had the intent to ignore the rules infraction that had just occurred right in front of their eyes.

Motive? No need to speculate on that. Could be that they wanted to speed up the game due to some kind of network broadcast time schedule. Maybe they wanted to help the Rams. Who knows? Not important.

What is important is the visual evidence on that play. Supporting visual evidence from other plays is plentiful.

Explain two officials standing feet away staring at the play missing a defender lighting up a receiver a full second before the ball gets there. Explain how that’s possible.

I'm not. Those are the "bang bang" plays everyone refers to. Yes they should've been called, but they weren't to the egregious and flagrant extent of the missed PI. Brees was hit due to a great play by the lineman, and his hands came down on his head. Penalty, yes, but not a flagrant play. The holding should be called but those are missed quite often.


The PI was a flagrant play by a defender who knew he was beat and tackled the receiver prior to catching the ball in order to prevent a touchdown. THAT is something that should NEVER be missed. THAT cost us the game. OT never should have happened

Explain how Marcus Williams can miss the tackle he missed last year. Explain how that is possible

That’s easy. Williams was afraid of getting called for PI.

Now your turn

Before THE play, Saints fans were the only ones who thought this.


Rams fans were thinking they were getting completely hosed as well.

Ref knew he fricked up immediately. That's why he said "bang bang" to cover his tracks.

I disagree. Motive is what determines if a criminal offense was committed.

When Atlantic City sports books are refunding bettors because of the missed call, you better believe somebody will be looking into it.

We're talking tens of millions of dollars in damages to players, fans and bettors. There is legal precedent for prosecution if motive can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. The stillshot of the hit with both refs in the frame is proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

Charge them and then offer them a plea deal in exchange for testimony against the puppet master(s).

$$$$$$$

Ive read somewhere that the area around the new Rams stadium is a $5 billion investment.

Follow the fricking money.

How on God's green earth could they let the head ref for the game be from LA is beyond me...

He's a CPA. I'd like to see his client list and cross reference it with landowners involved with the new stadium.

At best he couldn't call a fair fricking game with his business located in LA....

Damn, so human error, huh? The game moves fast, doesn't it?


Has it ever ran through your mind that he was throwing the game?

No I don’t think Williams was throwing the game. I totally get human error with officials and have always stayed away from the conspiracy theories but this no call was just too blatant.
