Underhill: They tried, but Saints were unable to beat both Rams and officials during NFC title game

This was a very difficult loss, especially as the Saints were the better team today. Yes, they had other chances to win, but the non-call was a total game changer. I don't understand how this could have been missed by not one, but two refs that were closely watching the play. It is what it is though, and life goes on. I hope for the integrity of the game however that the NFL sees there needs to be changes to the play review process. I don't ever want to see coaches challenging flags, but the League needs to have the ability to step in immediately on an obvious miss by the on-field staff. They review the hell out of everything else, why not this. LMHO....

It's not enough to beat your opponent. You have to outperform a slew of questionable calls And non calls
