Whether the call was overturned isn't the thing that drives me with rage, it's the fact that they couldn't even take the time to look at it.

The call, or non-call, that p*ssed me off most was when Kamara was in the grasp of a tackle and another Viking took a head-shot... And this has happened before and yet it keeps happening; is Payton sending this film in to lobby pre-game as other teams do or neaux? |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

There was nothing difficult about that call yesterday though. That was the textbook definition and should have at least warranted a look. That was the game ending play. With clear video of the push off using full extension of the arm.
You owe that to the players and fans simply for the integrity of the league. What would it have hurt to just simply say we are going to take a look at it. I will say that with the way we played for 3 quarters of the game we didn’t deserve to win but use the rule that you implemented. |

Yep.
Not to even "look" at the sequence of events in a playoff game was ridiculous. Big fat slap in the face from the league to the New Orleans Saints. |

Cowboys never played the Saints during their 90s run, avoiding the Dome Patrol after that ass kicking... |
