I feel the ruling for the Rams at end of the game was really bad. The player was tackled/Hit long before the ball got there.
The Ram's should not be going.
Plain stupidity
Not like the guy jumped on a hard count
Pop Warner football mistake...not NFL
You would think someone would have motioned him back. He was maybe one or two feet ahead of the others, I think hoping to get a faster start off the edge at the QB. Either way, these are the things that should define your season, not blatant referee missed calls and I don't mean close calls, but things entirely badly gotten way wrong. IMO, if a coach blows up at you and the whole stadium is booing, maybe you should look at some replay? But that is up to good old Roger to decide. Nothing is perfect but there's too much at stake here to get things so wrong. There were many flubbed calls in both games but that PI stands out as the worst. Wasn't that way as much years ago when they didn't have so many critical rules. Really sucks to play defense now.
I can't blame LA for being happy to be going, but the fair sportsman in me wouldn't allow me to feel great about it, I might even publicly concede to the media that they should have been penalized there and that it likely cost the Saints the game. Wouldn't change the legal outcome, but I bet it would make NO feel a lot better and maybe help add weight to the need for major improvements to the refereeing. Roger, are you listening?
