That missed call will haunt the nfl, if the saints go on to lose this game it is a black mark for the whole product and for the sh@@ show of officiating.
That was such an obvious PI and no flag.

The Saints lost that game because of the coaching blunder. Running the clock out or down by running the ball then kicking the field goal leaves the Rams with little on the clock and no timeouts wins that game

They're not trying, they're just going to do it.

Rams will win this, the NFL wants it... totally obvious now.

If the Saints had gotten the PI call and we would have lost, McVay could have called the NFL office about several missed calls on the Saints and they would have said oops missed calls.

This IMO evened it out and gave the players a chance to settle the game in OT. Had they made the correct call it would have handed the game to the Saints and left the Rams wondering how we had twice as many penalties and thrice as many penalty yards while the Saints were pulling off helmets, grabbing facemasks and stepping on a player after a play. Not to mention defensive holding, etc.

And yes the Rams got away with stuff too - all that means is that both teams should have been called for a similar number of penalties rather than 7 to 3.

And what team with Drew Brees wouldn't feel great about getting the ball in OT. As far as missed calls go this one really shouldn't register much. People are ignoring the first 58 minutes of the game.

Consider Rule 17, Section 2, Article 1: “The Commissioner has the sole authority to investigate and take appropriate disciplinary and/or corrective measures if any club action, non-participant interference, or calamity occurs in an NFL game which the Commissioner deems so extraordinarily unfair or outside the accepted tactics encountered in professional football that such action has a major effect on the result of the game.”
Even though Rams defensive back Nickell Robey-Coleman admits that he opted to wipe out Saints receiver Tommylee Lewis because Robey-Coleman believed he’d been beaten for a touchdown, it’s hard to imagine this being the kind of “extraordinarily unfair” act that would have a major effect on the outcome of the game. Then again, the rule is there for a reason; if ever it would be invoked, wouldn’t now be the time to do it?
And here’s where it gets even juicier. Consider Rule 17, Section 2, Article 3: “The Commissioner’s powers under this Section 2 include . . . the reversal of a game’s result or the rescheduling of a game, either from the beginning or from the point at which the extraordinary act occurred.”
Basically, the Commissioner has the power to turn back time to the spot of the penalty that wasn’t called, put the teams back on the field from that point in the game, give the Saints first and goal at the spot of the foul, put 1:49 on the clock, and let the game proceed, tied at 20, with the Rams having one time out left.

I would like to see if the League has the balls to use the rule book. This was posted on PFT.
