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.

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.
