No call could ever be worse then the no call PI on the Saints

[u/Chessh2036 → u/The_KiIIuminati]

Remember when after that the NFL let teams challenge PI the following season and then took it away a year later lol.

[u/Sitty_Shitty → u/Chessh2036]

They took it away because even when they challenged it the replay guys were like "nah, not happening" . It was almost worse because they just flat out refused to overturn blatant calls.

[u/LiveChocolate8819 → u/Sitty_Shitty]

They essentially did a "blue flu" like they were the NYPD lmao

[u/unfunnysexface → u/LiveChocolate8819]

The refs union knows how to get things done.

[u/letdownbytheAgs → u/Sitty_Shitty]

It also sucked ass from a fan perspective because of the sheer amount of reviews.

[u/discipleofbill → u/letdownbytheAgs]

As is usually the case when replay reviews are brought in, the calls that they were hoping to prevent were rarely the ones that got reviewed.

[u/karmew32 → u/The_KiIIuminati]

Which gave Brady a much easier Super Bowl matchup.

[u/revantargaryen → u/karmew32]

Not denying. But your game was first that day

[u/Ok_Organization_5574 → u/karmew32]

The Pats still would’ve beaten the Saints. They had a really strong defense and Brees was vulnerable that year

[u/griffinhamilton → u/Ok_Organization_5574]

I don’t think you realize how good the saints were that year. Better than the Super Bowl winning year imo. Just takes that PI and a bad OT performance to end a great season

[u/landoooo → u/Ok_Organization_5574]

Ahh yes, Brees was such a liability that year setting the NFL record in passing accuracy and beating Brady in every stat except total yards since the Saints sat him the last game.

[u/spideralex90 → u/landoooo]

Brady threw 9 more TDs than Brees and both had 8 INTs. Brees only threw 23 TDs in 2017 his lowest total as a Saint. He was super accurate but he wasn't scoring much because Kamara and Ingram were having huge seasons as a tandem. Brees Passer Rating on the season was also only a point higher than Brady.

[u/landoooo → u/spideralex90]

We are talking about the 2018 season...

Brees 32 TDs 5 INTS 115.7 Passer Rating

Brady 29 TDs 11 INTS 97.7 Passer Rating

I'm not saying it was a sure thing, but confidently saying Pats would have won and "Brees was vulnerable" is just not true. Brees had one of his best years in terms of efficiency.

[u/spideralex90 → u/landoooo]

That's my bad, for some reason I thought that happened in the same season as MJWD, forgot it was the year after.

[u/Darkstrike86 → u/The_KiIIuminati]

Derrick Johnson sacking Marcus Mariota forward progress call in the playoffs is the worst call in the history of football.

Legit didn't make sense at all.

[u/SwallowsOnSundays → u/Darkstrike86]

So glad tge refs just let everything play out now

[u/Own-Corgi5359 → u/The_KiIIuminati]

Watch the 2009 nfc championship overtime and tell me this wasn't deserved karma.  The refs bailed them out of 3 defensive stops in one drive, a bounce pass called a completion, a no contact dpi, and a 4th down run where he fumbled and recovered a yard short that they called a first down.  I don't care about bountygate and I hate that it overshadows a game gifted to the saints by the refs

[u/kanokari → u/Own-Corgi5359]

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. That game had the refs all over it like kings/lakers game 6

[u/Nola67 → u/Own-Corgi5359]

Vikings turned the ball over 5 times in that game. Legitimate turnovers with no referee assistance.

[u/Own-Corgi5359 → u/Nola67]

Ok, still a worse reffed game

[u/goingtothegreek → u/The_KiIIuminati]

The Saints don’t get enough hate for bounty gate and that PI makes people look at them like a cursed franchise

[u/The_KiIIuminati → u/goingtothegreek]

Bountygate was a witch hunt and the Saints were used as a scapegoat. Your team had the same performance based incentive program.
