It's almost like the smartest coach in NFL history didn't practice a silent count before a playoff game in the Superdome.

For Gurley's sake I hope he is hurt because he looks bad.

This game makes me despise Cody Parkey more. Neither team looks impressive to me.

Both of these teams were amazing in October and November then just haven't looked nowhere near as good.

Hate this idea of handing anyone a job. UDFA's and vets looking for work will be fine. Whoever can handle the pressure of fighting every day in training camp for the chance at an NFL lifestyle for a year (and maybe beyond) can handle the pressure of high-leverage field goals.

Gould was literally a UDFA, so yeah

That missed pass interference penalty is gonna be talked about.for years in NOLA, such a bad call that screwed them over

While the penalty sucks, why the hell did Payton not run the ball on all 3 of those downs?  They'd have the lead, less than a minute and no time outs left for the Rams.  Ridiculous calling there.

Zuerlein sure made that 57 yarder look awful easy. Right down the middle with plenty of leg to spare.

I was telling my FIL the same thing. Playing aggressive for the TD, but isn’t winning the game the end point? Just waste time and kick the damn FG.

100% agree with that, the Rams would have had 40 less seconds to drive down the field, though Brees blew that throw. McVay also had some questionable clock management at the end too.

But if they call that obvious PI, Saints have a chip shot attempt with 4 seconds on the clock

Run the clock down, make em burn timeouts and win.  Sad part is only thing they're gonna remember was the missed penalty and not Payton's boner playcalling.

Outside the obvious terrible no flag and Brees very poor decision in OT,Goff looked pretty damn great the whole second half. Also Gurley is great and all but CJ kinda showing the major help he gets in having an Elite OL.

Correct. Just like Angels fans only remember AJP taking advantage and not that they hit .171 in the ALCS, and their offense was so ineffective that our bullpen was only needed for two outs in five games.

RAMS GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL!!!!! YESSS!!!!!!

I didn't expect to be so geeked out of my mind for that game. I can't even imagine how my body will react to the White Sox making the World Series again after how I felt during the end of that Rams game.

Ugh, please bring on the Chiefs.

I feel awful because I think the Bears were on par with both of those teams, but then I keep remembering that the Rams won thanks to a 48 and 57 yard FG, something Parkey would have also done had he pumped himself full of HGH.

Pathetic by the refs.  Changed the team playing for the Super Bowl.

I'm impressed with how quickly you got over your favorite team Dallas losing last week.

No but it would fix barely getting the ball over the crossbar no matter the length of the kick. I swear, Parkey had a few that just made it over and they weren't long kicks either. Meanwhile the kicker from the Rams hit the top of the net from 48.

It's funny how much it upsets some of you people that I like 2 teams. Lmao

Missed calls and bad referee-ing seems to be the story of the weekend.

Is the controversy of how brutal the NFL is and how the league reacted by creating all these rules creating a game that is impossible to referee? It seems every detail is important. For instance, in the 4th quarter there was a roughing the passer call against the chiefs on tom brady that clearly wasn't the right call, however, in this day and age, refs must do everything they can to protect the players and called it.

What do you think?

Weren't you a Dallas and Philly fan at one point?

Sigh. The Patriots are going to win this game.

This is almost as predictable as the Parkey miss lol.

Of course. I fucking hate Brady. Not over yet, but probably. 

Must be nice to have an NFL kicker on your team who doesn't choke..
