Re: Letter from Saints fan: Why I'm not watching NFL games anymore

We had many chances to beat Minny we get that, but still don’t nullify the fact teams like the Saints can’t get fair shakes in games anymore, mainly been a problem since the Saints won the SB in 2009 when we wasn’t “suppose” to. NFL been put on notice with them since.

Officials can dictate games without ever throwing the flag, why you think the officials high tailed it off the field after the Rudolph caught the td? Didn’t even bother reviewing. Had we beaten Minny we certainly would of gotten screwed in Lambeau anyway, they want a packers/chiefs matchup for the Sb for 100 years of the nfl. Packers 100 yr old team in the first Sb against the chiefs who was also in first Sb.

I’m about sick of the nfl myself after this season, not just Saints getting beat, look at the crap they went through this year along with the fact a lot of these other teams getting put in seedlings they don’t belong in to make their path easier. Vegas has called it in good this year.

We've had calls go our way many times over the years. You guys just refuse to ever admit it, cause the persecution complex around this fan base is to the absolute extremes.

First off, remember the 2011 playoff game vs the 49ers? We had ZERO penalties in that game. It's completely unheard of for a road team to have no penalties whatsoever. All through that game, we could've been flagged for PI or late hits on Alex Smith and we got away with it. If anything, we got ref help that day and still couldn't win the game. This fan base has always over-analyzed a hit on Pierre Thomas wanting flags for it, but don't want to admit we had zero penalties and still blew that game.

Remember that Steelers game from 2018? The final drive we scored on, we couldn't convert a 4th down play without a tick-tacky call on Joe Haden. Hell, the first TD of that game, we got a tick-tacky PI call that put us down in the red zone.

Even in the 2018 playoffs, no one wanted to admit we had zero penalties vs the Rams until the 4th quarter. On the Rams final drive that tied the game, refs missed a blatant facemask call on Goff that would've gave them first and goal at the goal line.

This past year against Seattle, we pretty much got every call that went our way. In Seattle, where teams usually have to deal with home cooking.


Every team gets calls that go their way and go against them, yes, including us. We are probably a second seed last year if we don't get some big calls that helped us get past the Steelers.

The refs and Roger Goodell and whatever other boogie man gets blamed on our failures, is not the reason we can't get it done in the playoffs. Refs and Goodell aren't putting together these rosters. Refs and Goodell aren't the ones coaching bad games and screwing around. Refs and Goodell aren't responsible for hiring DCs like Ryan and Allen. Refs and Goodell aren't the ones forcing our HoF QB to turn the ball over in crucial moments late in the game.


There is no conspiracy against the Saints or any of this other bull****. We just aren't good enough. We have a LEGACY at this point of blowing it in the playoffs. That's not on the refs and Goodell. We are pretty much the same team the 80s Bears were. They had the GOAT at running back and a legendary historical defense and only made it to one SB. Ditka would get out-coached and clowned against Joe Gibbs Washington teams and occasionally the 49ers. Payton has been thoroughly out-coached in all of our playoff losses. We're just not losing to SB contenders like those Bears teams would.
