The Saints are favored and have good depth in their offense, yet something tells me the Rams are going to come out on top.
They are not Gurley-men!
250 quatloos on the newcomer!

I don't like seeing a bad call decide a game, even if my pick won. If they called pass interference (and Lord knows they should of..) on the Rams, Saints retain possession with a first down and run out the clock.

After that close call against Philly, I see the Saints coming out on top easily.

The Saints and their use of #7 Taysom Hill is brilliant. Great arm, runs like hell and can catch the ball. Having him and Brees in on the same plays must give the defense fits.

Calling the Rams in a squeaker. But could lose by 3 so still Rams at +3.5.
I wanted to be a Monk, but I never got the chants.

Wow, that pass interference call is over the net today. Kinda makes me feel bad for the Rams too. Because of a horrible non-call from the refs, their playoff win will always have an asterisk beside it.

It's easy to point at one blown call. But they played an entire game and every play impacts the outcome.
Cody Parkey didn't lose the game for the Bears by hitting the upright. The Bears should have never been in the position that it mattered.

Ahhh but there are differences in blown calls. In both the timing and the legitimate potential outcome. For example if a bad call is made in the first quarter, there are an infinite amount of possibilities still to come for the outcome to change before the end of the game.
In our example, the score was tied near the end of the game and the Saints had possession. Correct penalty is called, they have a first down inside the 12 yard line with 1:45 left in the game. Saints can spike the ball three times and kick a field goal to win with no time left.
I hear what you're saying and part of me agrees. I've played enough football to know that when a ref makes a call, it opens up a whole bunch of what-if scenarios. But in this case the blown call affected more than a myriad of what-if possibilities. The correct potential timeline was one step away from a win.

I was going to say .....did you notice when the announcers were talking about the Ram kicker, the discussion was 'being automatic from 60 yards out' and there really wasn't much of a discussion about missing? Parkey must have been sticking pins into his Rams kicker doll and crying like a baby watching that

More likely praying for him. We're talking about a guy that points to the sky after a miss.
