Happens every NFL game every week. It's in the monday morning mail for every personal foul in every game, called or not.
Which is an admission that a penalty should’ve been called in the first place

I'm ready to render my opinion. LOL

The ball was not tipped at the line of scrimmage but it looked like it may have hit a helmet down field before it got to the sideline.

Plain & simple, they blew the call. It's ridiculous, that with the technology available today, that the rules didn't allow for a review. Now the rules will be changed, and something as egregious as this, probably won't happen in the future. Unfortunately, it doesn't benefit the Saints this year. Sometimes, life isn't fair.

No idea how anyone has any sympathy for the Saints when they literally won a super bowl their bounty gate year and took Warner away from us. Come on guys, if anything this is karma.

In a van...down by the river.
The timeline:

-BLOWN CALL [NFL fail]

-Saints now winning by 3 points at home with less than 2 min left to play defense [fail]

-Saints get ball first in OT [fail]

-Saints need to play defense again[fail]

Rams win in a game they pretty much dominated from around the midway point of the 3rd qtr on...despite blown calls on both sides.

Saints got screwed big time on a call but they did not get robbed. They could not finish the game or seal the deal. Whiny ass fan base and team that refuses to take responsibility for the 2nd half and events in the last 2 min and OT.

It was a horrible non call and I'd still be flipping if the Saints were my team. The call that was the worst was throwing on first down. After that they kinda opened themselves up for anything. If they ran it this discussion isn't happening and they in Hotlanta

I think the fact that it was so blatant is the problem most people have with it. Not only from a pass interference call but also the defenseless receiver hit call. After seeing ticky tack calls made all season they let this one go. You can go on about the decisions the Saints made and how other plays may have affected the outcome, but the point in fact is this non call was made at a critical junction of the game. I don't fault the pass call because the Saints were going no where in the run game that day. If I recall correctly they had 48 yds rushing the entire game. The Saints were probably thinking get the first down and force the Rams to use their last TO. Had they ran the ball and not made the first down which was highly unlikely they make it then the Rams burn their last TO and still get the ball back with plenty of time left. I think the pass call was the correct call, make the first and game over. Brees was only sacked twice and hit 6 times so the Rams were not getting to him all that much.
