What was your PERSONAL reaction to the “no-call” vs the Rams?

I have never been so mad at a sporting event in my entire life. Sleep was hard to come by for days and days and days. A white hot seething rage consumed me. And the fact that the head of officiating called to apologize to Payton made it worse even though we ALL knew it. I said at the time if I were Payton, I would NOT have let my players back on the field. I simply wouldn't. That call changed EVERYTHING. The official makes that call, it's first and goal inside of the ten with under a minute. We could take 2-3k knees and attempt a 20+ yard FG. Maybe it gets blocked, but maybe it doesn't. The chances are, we would have gone to the Super Bowl.

It was the NFCCG, had he not put his team on the field until the refs talked to the Head of Officials. It would have been an embarrassment but it literally would have been NO worse than what happened.

Now, of COURSE, the officials would have retaliated at being shown up and we would have definitely lost the Super Bowl with crazy @ssed calls but SO WHAT?! At least we would have fought the BS.

That No Call, solidified the curse of the Saints for me. We always seem to be on the wrong end of probability-busting events. The ONLY one bigger is Atlanta's 28-3 collapse, in fact, had you told me that this event would happen to a team, I would have assumed it would have been us.
