The reafs are trying hard to give it to the Rams, 2 huge obviously missed calls.

That was such an obvious PI and no flag.

They're not trying, they're just going to do it.
Rams will win this, the NFL wants it... totally obvious now.
The Saints may have won the game if the referees made the right call. But it is not why they lost the gamechris98251":dej4iej7 said:Payton called officials in league office and they said oops blown call.

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.
Given the logistics it would take to pull something like that off I doubt the NFL would ever consider doing that. However, I'd be intrigued to hear an explanation from Ol'Roger on what specifically would have to happen for them to use that rule.chris98251":fl2w1od2 said:I would like to see if the League has the balls to use the rule book.
