    No doubt that Payton erred strategically, but that no call by the refs is inexcusable. Inept or paid off? I see no other answer & the NFL damn well better address this.

    I don't know what I would do if a Browns receiver got rocked like that by a DB who's head made "zero" attempt to look back at the ball. And the DB didn't try to even make a play on the ball by throwing his hands up, it was a blatant tackle. Look I wanted the Rams to win but good god wtf was that? If the Browns are ever denied a playoff win or god forbid a trip to the SB by a call like that im done with the NFL....."period". Done. How on earth does that go uncalled? "Blatant" doesn't do justice to that no call....you didn't even need replay. WR goes up for a perfectly catchable ball and gets "rocked" before the ball get there. Im not even sure if that DB wouldn't get called for defenseless receiver hit had he delivered that shot "after" the WR had made the catch. It's baffling on all levels you look at it. I dislike the Saints but geeezzz, gotta put the dislike away and say c'mon man...every single one of those refs on that side of the field should be jobless tomorrow. I don't even want to see a div 3 HS game with those refs on it.

    What does Pete Carroll and Sean Payton have in common?

    ....... next time they'll both run the damn football.

    I don't understand:

    1. Rams not going for the TD in the 1 yard line. Seriously? 5 mins for Brees and company?

    2. Pass play after 2 minute warning. You have to make the Rams use their TOs, no matter if you lose some yards (Lutz is a great kicker) or don't make the game winning first down... That TO was used in the game tying drive.

    3. The missed call. It's in the face of the ref. How can you miss that? 

    Anyway, among all these things that make me wonder if I really have learnt anything about this game, the one that makes me mad is the missed call, because it has a complete game changer and it's obvious.

    I wanted the Saints to win, but also wanted a hard fought game and didn't mind if the Rams won, but that call is made as it should have been and game is over.

    I have great respect for Brees. I was gunning for the Rams to win, but that penalty made the win sketchy. It's not a legitimate win at all.

    If the Browns played the Steelers and we hit them like that and there was a no call, i'd be upset. I wouldn't of felt like we beat them straight up, and would of felt it was unfair.

    In a fair called game, the Saints win. There is no integrity in the NFL anymore.

    ok ok ok, if that happened on our behalf vs the Steelers......weellllll………….but ONLY against the Steelers cause we've had crap like that from them get no called. Only shittspuke. There, my integrity/principle is still 75% intact.          ?

  • C Clevfan4life wrote on last edited by

    If im the owner of the saints im filing a complaint with the NFL to the effect that if those refs still have a job next year....NO doesn't take the field. And I would want a "formal" announcement from Goodell himself essentially saying the Saints won that game.

    True enough, but that DOESN'T excuse that "no call". That was truly disgusting.

    I hate the Steelers, but bro, would you REALLY want Steelers fans having that excuse against us everytime we slam them for beating them and going to the superbowl. I for one wouldn't, and I don't think Baker would either. He'd believe he could beat them straight up and would want to beat them straight up. Would we as fans take the no call? Yes Absolutely! Would I feel bad about it? Yes Absolutely! Would I think those refs, especially the one with the play in front of him should be fired? Yes, Absolutely.

    Well, KC is finding out what it's like to play Bill and Brady in January.....

    ....... and Bill would've run the ball. 😆

    I'm hoping NE loses by one or two points......GO KC, I  guess.

    So where is that dude who said the Chiefs were on the same level as the 99' Rams?

    Who cares about blown calls anyway? I mean Jerry got his billion dollar boat and didn’t spend shit on refs... lol

    Gotta game now. 

  • C Clevfan4life wrote on last edited by

    Patriots running all over that D. That's how you coral a Mahommes type talent. I really hope KC addresses that in the offseason so they don't waste a brilliant talent like Mahommes like the Colts did when they cost Manning multiple championships....not that Mannings career was a waste...but he should have won "at least" 2 SB's with Indy, if not more. Had the Colts stopped the run, Manning would be the GOAT.

    I think Sean Payton called a play where his WR beat the DB so badly that the DB interfered with the WR (and never saw the ball he had his back to).

    What about the 1st down throw??? That was the play I referenced all along...... That play called by Sean lead to his loss.

    The Rams only had 2TOs left and the 2min warning had already been called.....If good old Seanie boy runs the football 3 times in a row, he forces the Rams to take their final 2 TOs, and runs the clock down to 45ish seconds before kicking the go ahead.... and probably game winning FG.... and again, YES, THE MISSED DPI WAS A TERRIBLE NON CALL.

    ^ ...... with that being said and on a side note, I wonder if the Browns would've been on that field instead of the Rams, under the exact same circumstances....... I wonder how many of us would be crying about the refs right now?? lol

    First, sorry for jumping all over you D!  You normally get me laughing with well timed sense of humor. FWIW, I don't think Payton called his best game but I still feel if the refs did the job they were well paid to do - the Saints have 4 seconds on the clock with a chip shot game winning FG.

    And you're last comment, here's the thing - how many times opponents that have played the Browns have ever had any reason to feel like they got screwed against Cleveland in 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, and 1999?   If that was Cleveland playing the Saints - the Refs wouldn't have hesitated to throw that flag.  That said, Roger Goodell wanted 2 NFL teams in LA and apparently 1 in the SB (as someone else said in this thread) so the Saints got boned up the asss without the vaseline...  You know that as much as everyone on the planet knows it....
