What?! That was the topic of the entire off-season! It was beat into the ground on sports talk radio with guests from all around the league declaring the Saints got screwed over and over and over again! A new rule (while having no teeth) was instigated over the uproar involving that play!

However, as badly as I was destroyed by that horrendous "no-call" I have never believed there was any premeditation or directive involved. I am convinced it was the fault of part-time officials that were scared stiff of making a call that would absolutely determine the outcome of the game. The game was over for sure had they made the call. One wanted to make the call but was talked out of it by the other close by official. They swallowed their whistles while most likely praying that it wouldn't come back to bite them. They were wrong. It was a total ****-up on all counts, but I have no belief at all it was because the "league" wanted a certain outcome.

The Saints were not cheated because the league wanted it. The Saints were screwed over because the league has continued to march out incompetent part-time officials in a $14 billion dollar annual revenue league.
