This is why i dont care it was a blown call. freak'em.

This play was on youtube on the full OT upload. This Saints player was trailing the play and leaped over Reynolds and at the last second split his feet wider. It didn't look as nasty and intentional as this screen cap. I did see Reynolds head jilt a little so he may have clipped the side of his helmet but it was not a full on stomp.

News reports say Asshole Face was informed by the league after the game they missed the PI call. My questions are:

Is that because he contested it and requested it?
Did they do the same for McVay with the other missed calls?
Did Payton announce it to the media himself, while most coaches don't, or was it a matter of public record (as well as the other missed calls)?

 

[Classic Rams]

No matter what happens in the Super Bowl, that non-call will never go away. You will see it for years to come. Just like when Drew Pearson pushed off in MN years ago. It will forever be talked about. Get used to it.

Agree, this was one of the worst calls in the playoffs. Or at the very least on the list with the most hotly-debated. Ranks up there with:

1972 Immaculate Reception (Raiders vs Steelers - who touched or didn't touch the passed ball?)
1975 Staubach Hail Mary (Drew Pearson 30+ years later admits he pushed off on Nate Wright)
1976 Roughing the Passer on Stabler (Pat's Hamilton called for hitting Stabler gives Raiders 1st down)
1979 Mike Renfro non-catch Oilers vs Steelers (replay shows feet were in bounds)
2001 Tuck Rule (Brady fumbled vs Raiders)
2014 Dez non-catch rule vs Packers (did he or didn't he")

Depending on who you talked to or listened to, wins from these are tainted.

Hail Mary was one of the worst as it was nearly the last play of the game. An official got hit with a bottle thrown from the stands which delayed the game.

NFL plans to study making pass interference reviewable

Props to Michael David Smith for pointing out the impact on the Goff facemask penalty. The Chiefs would like to include roughing the passer calls as well.

It's weird, even Raider fans, who were just as mad as Saints fans are now, barely link the Patriot's SB win to that horrible call anymore.

I know it wasnt a face stomp, but he did land on Reynolds. The play was dead long enough for the saints player to move out of the way and not make the jump.

Some people will forever claim you didn't deserve to go. Mostly Saints fans. Just the way it is.

Same with the now defunct tuck rule.... The Pats got over the controversy.

 

[payote75]

scott van pelt mentioned it, in passing, but focused on the other call.


Course dude I'm off today and this is all I keep hearing and very few mention that if one facemask is called on the other end this probably never happens. It's like sickening I'm in ny and these dudes not mentioning crap. Only dude that mentioned it on sports radio is some dude that told it like it was at 2am and put the saints and there fans in their place. So I feel asleep with a smile all over again lol. But he broke it down to perfection and he has been rough on the Rams and goff all season but did a great job. Not sure what his name was but on fox sports over night bill maller maybe. I understand if it happened to the Rams that way I'd be pissed but I'd also know karma was a bitch and we had face masked brees and now we paid for it. Ain't nobody seeing it like that at least pundits wise. What saddens me most this game will always be marred by this single play rather than the Rams remarkable ability to hold serve and come back digging deep in a terrible atmosphere where people were allowed to blow whistles. Boo hoo saints fans if you can rewatch the game and tell the truth quit lying to yourselves ......and mike Thomas should shut his muppet beeker head maybe if he has a better game saints win whoops.....next time he pulls out a cell phone try calling upper management to get you a reciever on the other side to help your dopey ass out!!!!!

Tell your raider fan buds to let it go , we woulda killed the raiders anyway. Lol.

Yes we would have beat the Raiduhs no doubt about it.

Which makes that 2001 postseason even worse for us on the ref side of things. Pats get handed the Super Bowl berth and go on to mug our wideouts and win it all, and tbh I'm still angry about it because our team was heads and shoulders better than theirs across the board it was some serious BS. Payton was right in saying you'll never get over it but the truth is the rest of the league moves on and it's a footnote in history.

And that's why I think the idiots in the media lack awareness on this whole thing. Missed (and even refusal to make) calls are part of the playoffs and affect the passing game the most, and it's why defense and running games will always matter.

Lastly I'll add that one good thing will come of this... That they'll probably make certain ref calls challenge-able. That's all they have to do tbh, making it more than that like auto-reviews would slow the game and nobody wants that. Truth is human error is part of the game and will always be so, and it's a good thing because if we had robots calling penalties there'd be calls on every effin down.

That they'll probably make certain ref calls challenge-able.

Might as well. No additional challenge flags, you just get to include a questionable call if you feel you need to. And then if the coach wastes all of his challenge flags before he really needs one, then that’s on him and not the ref.

BTW, You know when offensive pass interference came to be? The year after Pearson pushed off.
You know when the rule change for both teams getting the ball in overtime came about? After the Saints Vikings NFC championship game.

I can see a rule change that allows more penalties to be reviewed.

And what's awesome about this game is that the Saints still took the lead and all three of their units had chances to win the game

The Truth.
