Los Angeles (+3) at New Orleans (1-20-19)

[Luck is Good]

I love Championship Sunday

[NFLfan]

Man, Zuerlein is automatic.

[RollerColt]

Wow. Rams win.

 

I hope heads roll with the refs. Their * should all be fired. 

[IndySouthsider]

NFL is fixed. Absolutely 100% fixed

[HOZER]

Total joke of an officiating crew, another perfect example of the officials screwing a team out of a win. Something has to be done. It’s goung to be tough to keep watching when this crap keeps happening. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Man I am glad my team isn’t the saints. I would be devasted.

[oldunclemark]

Nothing against the Rams..they played well

But that's the kind of end to a game I never want to see.

 

Cant have missed calls like that.

That's an all-time ref blunder

[2006Coltsbestever]

Brees just got eliminated at home. Unreal 

[Tsarquise]

That was pass interferance. They should not have won.

He stood no chance. This was a planned push the new LA team into SB

You got to call these guys into the'office' RC

 

That's an all-time bad call

[18to87]

What did Brees and Manning do to the playoff gods that Brady didn't do?

[buccolts]

Well, I suppose that was the Rams tuck rule moment.

Wiping the floor with the Pats would be the next logical conclusion........

and it would be funny.

[RollerColt]

Makes you really wonder if it all is truly rigged... 

 

LA gets their fancy new team and they immediately become a winning franchise year one. Then go to a Super Bowl year two. That's pretty unreal, but the SoCal market is huge... 

[LJpalmbeacher2]

Rams Win!

They In!!!

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

It will be a horrible SB if it’s the pats and rams.

Its hard to complain about bad calls or bad luck against the Colts after watching that fiasco

[Colts_Fan12]

wanted the rams to win but the stupid officials this year have absolutely no clue what the hell PI is

Saw just as bad no calls during the pats colts game many years ago.    Pollard could have filed harassment charges after that game

[shakedownstreet]

Rams are the home team in the Super Bowl

At least Peyton won that critical 2nd SB, Brees will not now in his career IMO.

I was thinking about that, too  BC

The Raiders are still talking about that game 20 years later

That was how the 5-yard defensive holding call came to be, right?

  Colts vs Pats>

[Luck is Good]

NFL definitely has some explaining to do with that missed call. But credit to the Rams. Their defense had to step up in OT. They did their job and got the ball back to the offense

Seemed they were instructed to "let the teams play". But they didn't use common sense on that no PI call.

It was already a rule,   they just made them start enforcing it.   Plus if the ball is in the air it's PI and always has been

I completely agree.

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic,   but the saints and rams are certainly not boring.   

Gotta admit..it was a lot of things but it wasn't  boring.  

 

at least the under (26-23 on a 57 over-under) came in

Unfortunately it looks like the window is shut. Don’t see them having another year like this one again. I was pulling for Brees. Pretty crappy ending 

[aReggie7]

As bad of a missed call as that was the Saints had chances throughout the game. Refs are going to screw up at times...no matter how good they are, how simple the rules are or what the sport is.

 

Can't say that was good clock management by Sean Payton at the end of the game. You can argue that was more costly to the Saints than the no call.

 

It sucks. Of the 4 remaining teams I wanted to see the Saints win the Super Bowl.

[Gramz]

No excuse!   Should not happen in a championship game. 

 

No offense to the Rams, but the Refs messed up royally today.

Things out of their control deciding the games was kind of my point. Brady still wins when he plays poorly as we know.

The “Non Calls” aren’t a surprise. It’s the same officiating crew that called the playoff game for us when we faced the Texans. They for sure let them play. 

[buccolts]

Can you imagine this board if it were the Colts on the butt end of that non-call?

I may have joined in.

[oldunclemark]

 I juts don't know how multiple refs look at that play and see nothing.

The refs have to speak....They have to answer for what they didn't see or didn't call

[Gramz]

The network fix was in.

[Gramz]

I really need KC to win now.

Similarly, I can only imagine what some of the game thread negative nancys would have said if Luck threw the same interception Brees did (under heavy duress).
