Anger!!! How could the honest hard work of the team be nullified be the political desire of a dishonest person(s). Not only that, we would have to re-do the same hard work, next season, to have another opportunity.

I don’t think there was a conspiracy. But, I do think a “helpful push” was made to put LA Rams in the Super Bowl, to reward them for moving back to Los Angeles.

100%... I don't believe Roger sent the message to "F" the Saints..But 100% I believe the message was we would love to see LA in the Big Game (I don't call that game the SB.. it wasn;t)... and NOLA is not worth our time... So the officials knew anything close (and of course this was not) goes to the Rams.....

Ever since that play I lost all trust of the NFL. And it’s Not getting better.

I keep watching saints game, but not with the same intensity. I am questioning if my love of football is dying, not a priority in my life anymore.

I’m still in the slammer.

Same way I felt when the Minneapolis Miracle happened.

I really can't believe it. I told my friend, "this shirt cannot be happening. Again."

I no longer am passionate about making sure I watch every game

I haven't seen yet where anyone has mentioned this possibility: The fix was on .. the Super Bowl that year was going to be in the LA Rams' brand new $billion dollar plus stadium. I have no doubt but that the NFL (Goodell included) wanted the Rams to host the Super Bowl. And that's my take. The referee intentionally did not make an obvious pi call. It made me sick to my stomach.

The Super Bowl was in Atlanta, not LA. The one held in LA was early 2022.

A very numb feeling of disbelief when it happened. I still believed we could win in OT, but beating the second best team in the conference twice in one game was too much to ask.

I was absolutely seeing red! But in my mind, I wondered why Lewis didn’t get up and scream bloody murder! He just ran off like “oh, well.”

Brees and the Saints should have gotten their 2nd Super Bowl that season!

Rage

I was in the dome and that game broke me as a diehard fan. At that point, I realized these games are manipulated to reach a determined outcome.

They Saints had multiple chances to win that game, the fact is they got but their buts kicked by an inferior team because they were out coached and out played. Same reason they got beat by the Vikings the year before and year after.

It was bad enough when it happened, but what probably made it worse was the DB later admitting he intentionally went for the PI to save the touchdown. He was ready to accept the consequences, but looked up and there was no flag in sight.

I'm totally okay with that, actually. It's not like it was a dirty hit. He took a calculated risk and it worked out for him. I'm NOT okay with the refs purposely failing to throw a flag because the moment is too big for them to handle.

One of my FB friends who's not a Saints fan made a similar statement. Even if you buy into it, you still can't take away the fact that if the PI never happened, or if it was called, we would have won.

I aged ten years and realized that this was the end of the greatest era in Saints history. can lightning strike twice?!

Seething red-hot anger, it still boils my blood to this day. As other posters said, the lack of accountability and the Rams basically laughing in our faces about it still irritates me to this day. I am not as emotionally caring as I was, just hold a grudge against the clown and Vinovich.
