I don’t understand why Vinovich is so hated TBH. He isn’t the one that missed the call. Kind of became a scapegoat/mascot for the Saints fans to point at as the bad guy, probably because he was the only familiar name most people knew.
This fantasy where he was supposed to overrule the call even though it wasn’t his just isn’t something common to the game, at
As the head official, you’re responsible for what your crew does. I’m much more furious with the guy who actually made the call. That was the worst call in NFL history. You don’t get a pass for that. It kept the team from a probable Super Bowl.
