100% the Rams should not be in the Super Bowl, full stop.   They should have an asterisk by their appearance.

That was a brutal no call.  Lots of calls you can argue swing a game, but that one was exceptionally bad.  Payton's press conference, can he contain himself?

Bad call, but put me in the camp that feels zero sympathy for Sean Payton.

Payton says in news conference that he spoke to NFL who admitted they absolutely blew the call.  No excuse, just blew it.

As a Cowboys fan, yeah I feel it....Dez catch.

Lions fan references the only faceguarding pass interference call flag ever picked up.

I understand that missed call sucks.

But, saints could have scored more earlier. Could have stopped the Rams in regulation. Could have scored first in OT. Could have stopped the Rams in OT. 

They had multiple chances to win after that. And certainly didn't lose because of it.

All of that is true. It's also true that they would have won if the refs had made that call.

That kick would have been good from 70.

Yes, but both things can be true.  If that call wasn't missed, the chances for Saints to win is really high.

The Patriots have the best offensive line in football (well top 3 for sure). They have a very strong defensive line.

That wins most of the time.

Also, KC isn't the same without Hunt.

UGH.  Wanted to be in the ATL with New Orleans fans, would have been great.  Pats.....they look the better team thus far.

The difference, of course, was that the Dez catch was correctly ruled incomplete while they missed two flags in one play that should've gone in the Saints favor.

And the Boys couldn't stop Rodgers and wouldn't have even if the refs incorrectly ruled that play a catch.

But it's awesome that Sean Peyton loses Playoff heartbreakers in back to back years.

The rules are it has to be clear and obvious to overturn. There was no combination of angles that showed clear evidence he did not touch it.

Another example of officials using video to guess what was most likely. Patriots lucked out. That is not how the rules are supposed to work.

Disagree, stitching all the angles, he didn't touch it.  Where it looked like left thumb, other angle said definitely didn't.  Where it looked like forearm, angle showed he didn't.  Stitching the angles showed he didn't, right call.

Doesn't matter, turned the ball over anyway.

I can't wait until the PC crowd starts the Chiefs protest in the ATL.

Combining the angles the only place it might've touched him was on either thumb. And the straight on angle showed it did not touch either thumb. So I agreed with the call.

That was such a BS call.

And Romo calls what the checkdown is on the New England touchdown.
