The Good News (I know, I know)
 

Is that it appears the entire free world is with us on this one. EVERYBODY watching that game is up in arms lamenting the fact that we got screwed. Commentators, hosts, current and former players, celebrities, EVERYBODY saw us get completely and blatantly hozed.



Maybe this will be a catalyst for change - like full time officials and more replay possibilities or more cameras at games for more angles. Who knows.

But it sure doesn't look like this one is going to get swept under the rug like the Dez Bryant "no catch" BS call a few years back that cost Dallas a game.

Why should the refs be rewarded with full time compensation for not doing their job? I thought the NFL was all about safety! If they are you don't miss a blatant call.

I seen refs throw a roughing the passer on Jones in the chief game and in the Saints game when Drew threw that interception he was blatantly hit in the head. I am starting to believe these games are rigged. The saints had to play against the refs in both of there home game playoff, wtf is up on dat?

Whoever win the super bowl should have an asterisk beside it

Re: The Good News (I know, I know)
 

A catalyst for change is great and all but not at the expense of what is probably a once and a lifetime opportunity for some of these players. This team will never again play together as a unit. Legacies are effected by this ****. It was one of Drew’s last chances to get a ring. The last chance for Watson. Payton’s will change too.
It’s going to be interesting to see how they bounce back next year. Jordan said the refs have always made it tough on the Saints. I hope other players don’t get this in their heads and choose another team because of it.
This was bad. The NFL should have let them come out of the locker room and finish out the game with that penalty enforced.

You didn’t see the one in the second quarter when Suh hit him full force 3 seconds after the ball was in the air? They games are scripted. Not totally rigged yet, your team still has to be competitive but after that the NFL manipulates the schedule and uses the refs to put the teams they want in the best position to win.
I’ve said it for a few years now and y’all told me to get a foil hat. Tonight is proof

Re: The Good News (I know, I know)
 

I never believed in games being rigged or fixed. That all changes now. That was PI no matter which era of football you look at or played.

Everyone except Falcon and Cowboy fans. Those losers have been blowing up my phone all night. Losers

Re: The Good News (I know, I know)
 

The truth is you have no clue how much the refs get paid.
The whole full time,part time thing, is pointless.
Put 2 and 2 together for once..it's staged. They call the game exactly as told. New Orleans has purposely been kept from.a super bowl, all but one time after Katrina and a rebuilt stadium to generate money. If games were played out naturally, every team in the league would have been closer to a SB a couple of times by now. It has nothing to do with teams being screwed. All the owners know it's up to the league, not them. Saints lost last year because the player was told to play stupid and miss. That's a sane, intelligent answer. It's the crazy people who believe it's not manipulated

Re: The Good News (I know, I know)
 

Online sports gaming forgiving debts, billboards in Atlanta, and this thing is picking up some steam. The Super Bowl has already been tainted. Weather he admits it or not this is the last type of publicity he wants leading up to Super Bowl. It’s already taken 24 hours out of the celebration. Every day leading up to the game is supposed to about what the competing teams accomplished. It ain’t happening. Guarantee you the Rams players don’t like it.

It seems that I've heard this somewhere before.......
