Why change something that enables them to control the outcome of games. Especially in playoffs.

It will change when the roles are reversed. Had the Rams lost to the Saints because of a no-call, most NFL owners would have been screaming for a fix and it would have been implemented...proto.

See the Favre Rule for one recent example.

God forbid it happen to New England

It will happen to a big market team this year and watch them go wild!

The NFL wants to Control the Outcome of Games.

It is that simple and obvious. There is no other reason.

I predicted we would have to beat the Refs in the playoffs and was right.
I also predicted that the NFL would do nothing and have been proven right.

Need I go on or have any of you figured this out?

FOLLOW THE MONEY.

As much as I hate the non-call, I am going to say this publicly:

The Saints Lost The Game!!!!!!!! It should have never come down to that non-call.

The Saints had three red zone opportunities in the first quarter, if I remember correctly and only got 13 points instead of 21. We already know the lambs can't overcome a 21 point deficit.

Saints just improved on their history of failure since the Minnesota Miracle, the defender tackles the WR and the Saints are in the NFCC game.

Thank you, I have been saying this all along.

The game was not lost on that non-call.... We won the coin toss in OT and immediately turned it over.

Game should've never came down to that point, period. Once we got up 20-10, we did nothing.... The Brees bomb to Ginn was the last positive play we had the rest of the game and it was a miracle, was nearly intercepted.

Something went really wrong for our offense beginning with the Dallas game and they never recovered. I don't know what it was, but they never figured out how to fix it. The defense kept us in games for that final month while the offense would piddle around barely able to do anything. Seriously hope everyone is thankful for the defense, cause we probably wouldn't have won another game for the rest of the year without them. They kept us in games while the offense struggled.

Up 13-0 and later 20-10 and we just couldn't shove them all the way down off the cliff. The defense tried so hard to bail them out one last time, as they had been doing for over a month now.

It shouldn't have come down to that point and to be absolutely fair; we didn't look all that impressive against the Eagles (a team that had no business even getting that far. They had to ice the kicker in Chicago when he made the first kick). The defense did a master performance holding that team to below 90 yards for 3 quarters while we struggled to just barely put 20 points on the board and give them one last shot to win. Pull up the yard stats for the Eagles game and we should've been blowing them out, but we didn't (stupid penalties being one of our big problems), they just barely put 20 points on the board.

I am not convinced one bit we would've beat the Patriots. When other fans tell me we would've, I ask them if they watched how bad our offense had played for the final month and in the playoffs. I have no doubt Brees puts more than 3 points on the board, but most the game would've been him struggling to move the ball down the field cause Bill B would've gameplanned to take away our only two weapons on offense (Kamara and MT) and the game would've went a lot like the Dallas game and every game after that.

If the ridiculously obvious non-call was the only bad call I could agree with you, but they were mugging our receivers all game and getting away with it. I'll take it a step further and say we beat the Iggles the previous week IN SPITE of the non calls in that game. Everyone can believe what they like but I know what I saw.

But the game was lost because of the non call.
