Does Goodell dislike Payton and the Saints?

Were the refs mad when Payton continuously questioned the refs and forced the league to let teams challenge the refs flags/no flags?

Of course they were mad. We saw how they responded to that rule change. They outright refused to overturn the vast majority of challenged PIs (though I believe we did get one overturned against us) even when they were egregiously wrong calls on replay. In just about any other job if you just refuse to do your job by the procedures given you’d be reprimanded and eventually outright fired if it continues. Instead the league just got rid of the rule and let the refs carry on being trash.
 
They are going to no call us until our core is gone and we are in complete rebuild mode. The core defense probably only has 2 years left at it's prime. Offense is already in sort of a rebuilding mode (QB and OL)

Then why this specific small market team?
Not Indianapolis.
Not Denver.
Not Pittsburgh.
Not Green Bay.
Not Minnesota.
Why?
 
It's not just about the number of calls. Calls, especially bad ones, which extend drives are more difficult to overcome so they can take all that analysis by objective numbers and shove it.

Ref's stole that game just as obviously as they did the one in 2019. It's the subjective DPI penalties that one team gets while the other doesn't which have outsized impact.

All it takes is defensive holding call on any given 3rd and whatever, and it’s an automatic 1st down and fresh set of downs.

It’s at the point that I’m seriously surprised when I don’t see a flag after the Saints make a 3rd down stop.

The NFL was blackmailed into putting a team in NO by Senator Long. It was a condition of the league getting a monopoly exemption.
The league never forgets.
They allowed the Katrina SB but never again if they can help it.

So there has been a conspiracy from the beginning.
It hasn’t been the horrendous ownership in the first few decades, bad hirings, or lack of good play.
It’s all been planned, but it magically exempts the Super Bowl the Saints won.
