Let's not act like we don't know what happened.

The two refs did not miss the call. They knew that it was PI and chose not to throw the flag. It was a councious decision to not throw a flag on an obvious penalty. No one can convince me that two professionals can't see what everyone who has seen the play so obviously sees. Why they would cheat to help the Rams is the only question that needs to be answered.

I agree.

I don't like lawmaking in general, but I would support a law to hold college and NFL refs accountable for mistakes not resulting from human error.

Correct. The answer is that the one who was right by the play is from Santa Barbara, California. It's all about money. We know the answer.

I’ve been saying this for years that they should do an investigation on every referee in the NFL...it’s easy for them to just use an alias name and have someone else bet on games they are calling and can control....

And the thing about that is, this wasn’t some preseason game with the dregs of NFL officiating working. This was a game where the pinnacle of their profession are supposed to be working.

Los Angeles is a much bigger tv audience than New Orleans. That's an easy one.

He league finally won, after many years of trying, by getting not one but two teams into the LA market that cares nothing about their football teams. The League needs to prove that their move was right. The League knows the fans suck there and don’t care, so putting LA teams in the SB will enhance their fan base. This is crucial to the marketing of The League.

The League also does not want to see a Saints team in the SB. They slaughtered us for “bounty gate” and cost us a few seasons as a result. The League does not like us, so it had multiple reasons for this fix.

There’s only one way to fix a game and that is through officiating. You aren’t going to get one team to tank, so you put officials in position to make or not make calls throughout games. You find officials form LA, for instance, and put them on the call for an LA team, just like what happened here.

The fix doesn’t always work out, because some teams will get blown out (Chargers). The fix works when two equally matched teams fight till the end (Rams-Saints).

National Fixed League

NFL

It’s all about marketing. The integrity of the game is secondary

Help the big media market area of LA. Ignite Rams Mania there and the NFL helps the LA team fill that new stadium they are building (which is said to be bigger than Jerry World).

IF a good coach wants to win a lot of SB, he's got to coach at one of the marquee teams in a huge media market area, and coach for an Owner that's in good with the NFL. You won't get a no-call like that one, if you're Bill Belichick coaching the Pats for Bob Kraft, that's for sure.

the refs blew arse no question but the Saints could have dodged their bullshite had they jumped on the Rams harder early in the game.

It’s so easy to say that but in a game of that magnitude you take the points, especially in a defensive battle. Rams had a good gameplan and the loss of Josh Hill hurt more than anyone will care to admit.

He’s a really really damn good blocker, run and pass. He would have made a difference I think in the way Payton called the game. Still, you’re up 13-0 you take that start all day every day in the second biggest game of the pro football year.

Despite noise pre-snap, They gave Goff all day to pick them apart and Payton has to run football on 1st down with 1:58 to force LA to burn timeouts...You can complain about the non-call on pass interference all you want but they had many opportunities to put the team away

If this was college, the Rams player would have been ejected and missing the first half of the Super Bowl.

i cant quite get the sequence of plays but i was 38 hot when we didn't convert their mistake into a TD.

that's a cardinal sin no matter if its a regular or postseason game.

i know the refs sucked.

but it should have never unraveled the way it did.

we had chances to take them out of the game but didn't.

That’s what happens when you play a great team. This is nonsense. Acting as if we deserve to lose because we didn’t blow them out is fricking retarded. We were two evenly matched teams playing in a very close game. The ending is what matters.

We won the game with that reception at the end. Rams CB knee it so flagrantly interfered to prevent it. Corrupt Refs knew it, so they willfully left the flags in their pockets. You know the rest.

That game was WON by us after all of the standard ups and downs in a game of this caliber. We won. It’s that simple.


But it was rigged against and stolen from us.

And it's not just the NFL. Now, with legal gambling, the bookies have a lot more money with which to corrupt sports. To me, that's a larger issue.
