ATLANTA, GA (WAFB) - Some Saints fan started petitions to have the game replayed, others tossed TVs. One Saints fan decided to go even bigger. Matt Bowers, of Matt Bowers Chevrolet in Slidell, Louisiana, paid to have four billboards placed around downtown Atlanta, the site for this year’s Super Bowl match-up between the Los Angeles Rams and the New England Patriots. The Rams made it to the big game after a blatant missed call at the end of Sunday’s NFC Championship game, and a field goal in overtime to beat the Saints in New Orleans. “I wish I could do more,” Bowers said in his original Facebook post, where he posted the graphics that were made. “Saints got robbed,” and “NFL bleaux it!” billboards were put up just after 2:30 p.m. on Monday along I-85 at Peachtree Street.

“Eaux” is pronounced as “O”.

If they were going for “NFL blew it”, they failed.

Yeah, that was the first thing I noticed.

ETA: It looks like a digital billboard so it can be fixed easily though.

I'd have drawn comparisons between rigged NFL games to professional wrestling.

But these will do.

It makes perfect sense. It's just missing a comma.

NFL, Blow It!

I starting to become embarrassed I was born in La.

Can someone tell me what good the billboards actually do besides making us the laughing stock of the nation.

I can.

First 2 drives, 6 points. One after a devastating turnover deep in their territory.

3rd and 10 with under a minute left in first half. Get off the field, they don't get the TD.

I can think of about 6-8 others.

Saints lost this shite and it's embarrassing the reaction.

I guarantee Falcons fans are seeing those and laughing. I don't disagree with the message, but it probably isn't a great move.
