N/S (kinda) Vinovich doing Payton’s Broncos playoff game (1 Viewer)

King, thanks for your comments. Watching the game in the Superdome, I was not upset at the time that a penalty was not called on the hit on Brees. I just watched the video of the play and then the replay. If there was a penalty, it was borderline. When you watch the sideline view, it appears there was some contact but again borderline. When you watch the replay from an endzone camera, it appears the Ram defender hit Brees in the shoulder. There was no commentary by Aikman and Buck that Brees had been hit in the head and that the officials had missed a penalty.

I could not find video of the pass interference against the Rams in overtime, but in real time in the Superdome I thought it was borderline and a make-up call. Again, the officials were letting them play. When your team is hit with only three penalties for 20 yards, it is hard to say the officiating was intentionally rigged against your time.

In the last two minutes, we allowed the Rams to score. In overtime, we turned the ball over on the first possession and allowed the Rams to score, albeit on a 57-yard field goal.

On a personal note, I find the frequent talk of conspiracies maddening. On a serious note, it has been said when that something bad happens, people can ask one of two questions, The first is what did we do wrong. The second is who did this to us. Asking the first question leads to putting things right. Asking the second question leads to conspiracy talk. Too often, we on this forum and in our region ask the second question. (the two-question observation comes from Bernard Lewis, discussed in a book titled Culture Makes Almost All the Difference).

Hard to find good angles of this play (shocker), but you can clearly see Folwer does not hit Brees in the shoulder here it's in the head.

Bias is a disproportionate weight in favor of or a thing, usually in a way that is unfair.

A conspiracy is a secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful.

Only one person is trying to pigeonhole Sean Payton's comments on the Biases towards the Saints as conspiracy.
