What more can I say, we got beat by the referees. I sure would have liked to seen the Saints and the Patriots play in the Super Bowl.:dono:dono:dono

Ya you right.
Two missed calls sunk them.
I was pulling for the Chiefs.
Sad but true, it's a shame you can't ask for a rematch!
well they do have a replay system to help the officials out....they are human and do make mistakes...so if a mistake that would affect the outcome of the game occurs it can be fixed and gameplay can resume......not a phone call after the game saying...."sorry"....we blew the call.......I don't care if they only use this system in the playoffs
The last blown call is one that should never have been blown. Very obvious and should have been an easy call to make.
It may have been the worst and most costly blown call I have ever seen in all of my years of watching NFL Football. Yesterday was (beyond any doubt) a bad day for me and for both of my favorite home teams in the playoffs. But on a more positive note... the chicken wings and other fixins... somehow still seemed just as good.
The referees really blew the pass interference call in the Saints game along with several other mistakes yesterday. The problem with adding more replays is the time it adds to a game. However something needs to be done this entire year the quality of NFL officiating was terrible.
It just means in two weeks no one has the excuse of watching a football game instead of fishing.

Would someone please correct me if I am wrong....I am certainly no expert on football....example: A replay can be done on a "call" on the field to determine if the call should be overturned....but if there is "no call" on the field, there can not be a replay....
There should be replay for the playsAND for the officiating especially when it affects the outcome of a SEASON. Time added to the game would not be much different because not all calls would need reviews. Only the most blatant of calls like yesterday.

That is 100% correct. In the instant case of the Saints game: Not only did the Rams defensive player commit blatant defensive pass interference... but he also violated the helmet to helmet contact rule of the NFL when he so blatantly blind sided the Saint's receiver. Either of these penalties would have awarded the Saints first down yardage, better field position and would have made it quite likely (way more likely than not) that the Saints could have/would have scored... putting the game out of reach of the Rams with only a field goal (ie. (only) three points).Quote:

Actually, they did score 3 points after the missed call. If the call had been made, they would have gotten a first down. Then they could have snapped it 3 times and ate the clock down to 4 seconds since the Rams only had one time out left. Then the Saints would have attempted the field goal. If they made it then they would have kicked to the Rams, with 3 seconds left.Obvious squib so the clock would start. They also missed pass interference on the wobbly pass play. As Brees arm was hit , but not the ball, the pass wobbled but was not a free ball as it would have been had the ball been tipped. The Rams player knocked the Saint player from being able to make the catch. Then it luckily fell in the Ram's arms as he was on the ground. That was also pass interference against the Rams. That play was reviewable, but was not reviewed. On the first missed call,the Rams player said he hit the Saints player on purpose, after the game, because he had no chance for the ball and felt like a touchdown was prevented. He fully expected a flag to be thrown. As he said, it is what it is.Quote:
