Classic Saints to come that close to making the playoffs.
Still can’t believe the Rams choked that bad.

They have no idea what a curse is….the Saints prior to 1987 had 0 winning seasons, was first victory for Tampa Bay after 0-26 start to franchise, blew a 35-7 halftime lead against the 49ers, and became the first fan base to wear “anonymous” Schweggman grocery bags over their heads.Saying the Saints are cured is so 80s.
If they were cursed, the franchise wouldn’t have made it to 9 wins with these injuries.
Agreed. Everything that has happened outside the horrid no-call and the Minneapolis Miracle are all things that happen commonly due to the parity in the league.They have no idea what a curse is….the Saints prior to 1987 had 0 winning seasons, was first victory for Tampa Bay after 0-26 start to franchise, blew a 35-7 halftime lead against the 49ers, and became the first fan base to wear “anonymous” Schweggman grocery bags over their heads.
The curse was Mecom and has long since been exorcised.
I was following the “chance of winning” during that game more than I have for any other game. It fluctuated wildly. Once OT started and FOX picked up the bonus coverage, I switched from ESPN’s Gamecast to TV, but I’d imagine that the chance of winning went up drastically after LA’s first down play, and continued to do so.The most improbable part was the 88yd TD drive with no timeouts.
All the others are kind of unremarkable.
When the Rams got the ball with 1:57, the Niners had all three TOs.
The Rams weren’t going to pass due to wanting the Niners to burn their timeouts and they weren’t running worth a darn that game. So the 3 and out seemed almost inevitable.
Hell, the reason the Niners punted was because they felt they had a good chance of getting it back.
Also when the Niners did score there was only about 30 seconds or so left, so preventing the Rams from scoring in the final drive of regulation wasn’t all that remarkable. The Rams, again weren’t going to take a huge risk.
Also in OT the Niners won the toss and had an 8 minute drive for a FG before the Rams ever touched the ball.
So it really makes me question the stats that determine those “chance of winning” percentages. That game stunk for us, but it wasn’t some epic collapse or epic comeback. It was a 7 point game for most of the second half.
I’d have found it to be more “appropriate” to this season had they tied and we missed the playoffs as a result.

No. They’re in the playoffs with a division championship and the 3 seed. We’re done for the year.Hell, anybody really think Rams' fans aren't just as bewildered and disappointed by the loss to the Niners as we are?

We totally didn't handle business on our end in the earlier part of the season. We should have beat NY. The MIA game as other have pointed out was just good 'ol fashioned shafting to not reschedule it.Yep complete classic Saints right there. This team is cursed. I just dont get it.
This team fought and overcame so much bad luck only to be snake bitten in almost an unimaginable way. A crippled QB leading his team to victory after a large deficit.
Don't forget about the trick play the hapless Rams fell for that netted SF a TD. Heck Samuel had as many TD's as Jimmy G.The most improbable part was the 88yd TD drive with no timeouts.
