I do know the difference Ok? How about I could care less about “win probability.” You cannot be 100% certain of any “probable outcome” due to human element. Blown calls happen every game. This one was bad—maybe the worst ever but they still could have won and life goes on ya know?
Of course it does.
Unless we have super computers referee the game, there will be a next time and a time after that. Human element which I believe Ben Watson eloquently and accurately stated it. But sure, I’m all for improving. I don’t want to ever see a play like that happen again. And as I’ve said before, I like the saints and feel really bad for their fans on this board but I can’t believe with the state of the country, that a game played and officiated by imperfect poeple has become a pressing, national issue. That’s absurd.
The talk of the automated strike zone definitely continues and actually increases every season it becomes more feasible.
Senators and Representatives are both congressmen....sorry, pet peeve that I really don't understand at all.
It's the regular end-of-season press conference that most coaches do every year. Besides, he's surrounded by local media -- it's understood that people in other markets are less interested.
Yep ESPN carried it. In Sean's Netflix and Ice Cream time which he mentioned he needs to watch the move Frozen my kids have......there's a song for him.
Not likely, I don't think. I mean, Payton and everyone else who cares about the Saints will carry on and live life -- but no one in that category will ever forget.
Horrible. In fact first thing that came to my mind was that the game was fixed. I'm sure I'm not alone there.

The refs said it was Dallas ball and no clear recovery on a fumble to start the game that had 5 Eagles on the ball. There was a PI on Dallas Goedert that almost cost an Eagles TD but they scored anyway. Horrible calls happen. Saints got a bounty of calls go their way during the year they won the SB. On 2nd down the Drive before the bad call for the Saints they got away with a blatant Facemask between the 10 and EZ on Goff that should've reset the downs. LAR had to settle for a FG instead. But how quickly Saints fans forget about that. Maybe Saints players and coaches should've worried about being more prepared for the game rather then Dog Masks or what gets other teams motivated. The Saints got a lot of calls go their way that screwed the Eagles over but you don't hear them and their fans blaming the refs for losing. Yeah the call sucks but constant complaining about it makes you look like a dam sore loser. no better then Tom Brady not shaking the opposing QB's hands after he loses his SB to the NFC East.
Pretending that the Refs didn't miss a facemask call Also is NO doing bounties again? Defender stepped on a Rams players head
I went two years of having to listen to it every day. It was my daughter’s favorite. It’s a great soundtrack. After 25000 times though it got old. Thankfully she got into Moana and then The Greatest Showman. But even better yet, she digs my heavy metal LOL!
Ya, because THAT is what Brady is known for. I don't understand some of u guys, u got the SB win and yet u hear this classless crap like "we have FUN on our team" blah blah (have fun wathing the sb on tv Lane (u ****). Speaking of constant complaining let it go man, did Mahomes find Brady after the afccc, no, does anyone care no. U won the sb stop looking for reason to trash brady and enjoy the moment at the top u had. Above all make sure you have fun
And THAT would get my vote for worst/blown (borderline "fixed") call in NFL history.
BS
OF COURSE missed calls are part of the game. Haven't heard one Saints fan arguing about any other missed calls in this game or previous ones (there were some, for both teams). OF COURSE there were plays that could've been called and executed differently. No different from any other game. IMO, what those arguments are doing, though, is willfully ignoring the fact that the Saints scored enough points against a TOUGH defense and held one of the top offenses to 20 points and were in a position to ice the game in the waning moments, which was completely part of the game plan (OK not the dropped screen pass on first down that cost them ~20 seconds of wind down, but still...). It's all you can ask of your team, especially against what most would agree was a top-4 team all year long. 
This city would have moved on? We are talking about Philadelphia (one of the most passionate fanbases)? You’re kidding yourself if you believe that. This would be the dominant topic in the city for the next year. I honestly don’t know how people can fault Saints fans because nobody is in their shoes.
Is the suggestion that MLB would change the outcome of the game the next day and award the "home run"? Has that ever happened before?
Don't know if the OP had a specific remedy in mind. IMHO, if something like that really happened in an MLB playoff game (esp a series clincher), MLB brass calls in from up on high and overrules the inexplicable call of the on-field umpire.
Plus a minimum of 14 more upheld-protest game resumptions in MLB history, the most recent being in 2014. Means nothing to the Saints-Rams outcome, really just interesting trivia.mphtrilogy said:
Simple saying there was blown calls on both sides. I linked to at least 3 missed calls the refs had on the Saints. Was the call bad? Yeah it was but lets not pretend the Saints and their fans are innocent in all of this mocking others teams and all. I really don't feel sorry they got a raw deal here. Only sorry the league has such inept officiating.fred_1_15301 said:
