Vinovich loves the Rams

[MTRamsFan]

Of course the "Twitter World" is ablaze talking about the bad No-Call PI on Robey-Coleman. My take is that it was a bad no-call. But, there were a few missed no-calls that should have been called on the Saints. I can point out at least 2 missed face mask calls on our receivers, one guy stepping on Cooks head after a play, and a blatant delay of game by the Saints, in the red zone, late in the game. Bottom line is they had us on the ropes early, and could have put the game out of reach in the first half, but didn't. We continued to fight back in an extremely hostile environment and got the win. I feel the media will marginalize the win by focusing on this one play, and speak very little about the resiliency of this team. To all haters out there... THE RAMS ARE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL!

It looked close in real-time, but looked like obvious DPI in slow-mo replay. Terrible no-call IMO.

Like these no call face masks?

We got a gimme... Every team has one here and there... That did not dictate the game entirely...

I counted 3 in the game.

Saints fans should be more upset blowing a 13-0 first quarter lead at home, in the NFC Championship game.

Rams are going to the Superbowl.

I called the 1st half scoring only. What happened?

 

[Ellard80]

Definitely didn't respect that call.. but hey luck is a real thing. Sometimes you get the right call or right no call at the moment you need it.

Nobody told Brees to throw an interception in OT when they had the ball first. They had every opportunity to overcome a bad call (like most teams do), but they weren't able to do it. So, cry me a river. After having been on the ass-end of some of that shit, I have no sympathy.

We lost a Super Bowl in 2001 to the Patriots when they effin MUGGED our wideouts with like 20+ non-calls of PI. The problem with the passing game is a lot of things can go wrong to include non-calls.

Live by the pass die by the pass. RIP Saints.

I'm pretty sure when Goff was grabbed by the facemask and subsequently went over, one of the Saints defenders jumped over Goff and stamped on him for good measure. Completely unnecessary, so fuck the Saints.

The play looked much worse in slow motion replay compared to a bang bang real-time play.

That's what I'm saying. They just keep showing that one stupid angle. Watch all the replays at live speed..and the play doesn't look that bad at all.

Also notice how the WR doesn't even complaim after the play.

So says Robey-Coleman to the Saints fans. Unfortunately that is true. As Rams fans we've had to learn that the hard way, and in that same building 17 years earlier. It sucks to be sure but sucks far worse when it is in the Super Bowl and history later confirms the theft was a fait accompli.

Bottom line: Rams overcame a 13 point deficit and made the plays to win. On to Atlanta!

And....picked off hall of famer Drew Brees and kicked a 57 yard FG!

Bottom line if Payton runs the ball 3 times there , the Rams would've had less the a minute to get in field goal position.
He got greedy and it cost him . If that play would've happened early in the game , no one would mention it .

 

[LesBaker]

The league denies it, but the calls are different in the postseason.

When did the NFL deny that?

I think that if Ginn would have tried to come back for the ball, PI would have been called. He didn't so it was a good non-call.

Seriously???

The Rams got away with a couple of HUGE ones.

Let's call it as it is.

The refs missed some BIG calls that had they gone against the Rams people here would be melting down.

Oh I certainly have no sympathy....

 

[Angry Ram]

It wasnt the last play of the game.

The saints had a chance to stop the rams at end of regulation, they didnt !

Saints had the ball in overtime and could of closed the game, they didnt !

The missed call doesn't define this game or this team , rams win baby !

Interesting concept. Looks like the Saints couldn't man up.

 

[Rabid Ram]

Saints fans salty yet when heckers fake punt horrible spot happened or when the steelers got screwed both ilon their home turf all they could say was respect the call or hey it happens but since the didn't get the break this time its the worst call ever get over yourself a saints fans

As stated in another thread...Real time and replay showed it was pass interference, however, it is commonly known that referees purposefully call a looser game for the playoffs - let the players play. I saw several non-call face masks. All either side can ask is that the referees are consistent and fair for both sides. If they had called pass interference the final tally for penalties would have been Rams (8-80) and Saints (3-20). Put the shoe on the other foot and decide if that would have stood out just as much as the interference non-call.
