Playoffs... Playoffs...?
You thought you'd beat the refs in the Playoffs?

If you equate "low road" to "fighting dirty" then yes, yes it does.

We’ve never met, but I can possibly identify the likely reason for our differing responses. I’m 65 years old. I lived through the Aint’s. Through wearing bags to games. Through years of losing seasons and last second losses. People my age thought this BS was behind us with the coming of Brees and Payton. For the most part it was. Then two years in a row, games with Super Bowl ramifications were effectively stolen from us. One legally. One, for all practical purposes, illegally. People like me, who’ve live through the years of pain, are having flash backs.

1) Call the penalty and restart the game from that point

or

2) Goodell admits the fix was in and resigns - he's almost destroyed football. Vince McMahon could do a better job at this point.

I'm 66 not having flashbacks but I know what I saw. Watch the video of the ref "telling" the other one not to throw the flag. Something's really wrong here!! The interception with Fowler's forearm all over Brees face mask. In the KC New England game a mere brush of Brady's face mask draws a roughing flag! C'mon Man!!

I hear you. I've been watching them since '67, too. The Saints have a magical way of keeping us terrified of happiness. It's a unique DNA all its own.

It wasn't a brush. He completely missed it. The only contact was a forearm to Brady's shoulder pad.

Correct me if I am wrong.

I remember the Saints losing in a fair game in the mid 1980s, to gain a playoff game. It must have a wildcard chance .
It may have even been Bum Phillips as coach. Maybe Mora had jut started that year.
Anyway, the Dome was rocking. Saints were really winning. Police were out on horseback around the field. Like a minute or under , something like that, boom. Saints fairly lost.
I was there at that game.
I THINK

they were playing the L.A.Rams.
