April Fools

Or the idiot coach could have just run the ball three times and kicked a field goal, instead of trying to be smarter than everyone else by passing, then needing to have a scapegoat of pass interference so that nobody would keep asking him how dumb he was.

Well they kicked the FG anyway. The issue is that they should have had the ball on the 1 with a fresh set of downs. At that point there is an 85% chance they score a TD.

It's a legit complaint IMO.

The penalty is legit, but it never had to come to that. If he (Payton) didn't try to show everyone that he was the most clever man in the NFL, he could have just run the clock down to twenty seconds or so, leaving the Rams with a much reduced chance at the comeback, Legatron or no Legatron.

The flag flying or not flying doesn't change the fact that Payton was still an idiot that has only been let off the hook on the situation because of this very public non-call. If Nickell had showed up on time - only a split second later - it's a pick or an incomplete pass, and we make the comeback sung to a delightful tune of "what an idiot was Asshole Face". The play saved his reputation.

Frankly I still want to go back in time one step further and yell at Joyner to just knock the damned ball down instead of waiting like a bystander for it to come to him on a horrible pass by Brees. If he had just done his freaking job none of this would have happened. Joyner also got a free pass because of the game's final result.

I don't disagree they could have wound down the clock but they went pass, run pass in an attempt to score a TD to pretty much seal the deal. They were trying to win it on that drive.

So happy Joyner is outta here. Like he did for the whole season, when the rams really needed him to make a play he was standing there holding his dick while watching the wr catch a ball that was begging to be intercepted.

How on earth did the raiders pay him $10m per season.

Not true.

The Rams punished Joyner by banishing him to the Raiders.
