QuoteClassicalwit Than I originally thought. People are not so upset about the non call in principal, but rather that the incident was at the end of the came. I actually talked to a Saints fan who was pretty upset, and get this, he said he didn't care about the non calls against the Rams (I mentioned the face mask near the Saints goal line) because the Rams at least got some points out of it.by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteCROMWELL21 Never would have been a PI if the refs got the original calls right. We can take that line all we want. It will make no earthly difference. And if the situation were reversed most of us would be bitter about the non-call. My bet is we would just not listen very hard to people who said well it should never have gotten down to that.

Quotejemach and how that call stole the game from the Saints? How about the missed delay of game penalties by New Orleans? Better yet...how about the missed face mask on Goff at the goal line which would have put the ball on the 1 yard line with a first down for the Rams? The video doesn't lie on this play either...

QuoteEkern55 Goff has a pin head, Mannion's the size of a watermelon. Why are you so quick to shoot us down when you're lacking the tech expertise to do so? Kind of odd actually.

QuoteEternalHorns Sorry, you're wrong. Depending on what the tech is it's absolutely possible to target an individual helmet, even if it's just dumb radio waves.

QuoteEkern55 Point taken. But we're still in the dark on whether the Saints were instructed to cut off wireless communications by the refs. If they cut it off it takes out Mannion's helmet too. Slow down and think on this one. ....by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteEternalHorns You haven't worked in software or electronics, have you? Trust me... what you label as impossible can definitely be done.

QuoteEternalHorns Check out the postgame press conference with Goff His helmet's communication didn't work "for some reason." So he had to wear Mannion's helmet for the first two drives.

QuoteRams_81 Both McVay and Martz create great space and that helps the running game. Both Faulk and Gurley had nice spikes on yards per carry as a result and the offensive line looks better. Which has nothing to do with these inflated numbers. The best 2 running teams this year measured by yards per game were Seattle and Baltimore. They don't use 3 WR sets as much as the Rams.

QuoteRams_81 offensive line is helped out by space management and lack of predictability. The defense has more area to cover and that makes it easier to block and open up running lanes. Plus they have no idea what play is being ran because there are so many plays that look similar but has a slightly different twist. I dunno. Martz ran the ball out of 3 WR sets a lot too.

QuoteSaguaro In a friendly way, I'd like to respond to a couple of things. I saw Foles lauded mightily after his game in Chicago. That's fine by itself, but it was obvious to me, even if not to you, that it was meant in contrast to Goff. Then he lays an egg and we get the proverbial crickets from Goff critics. I'm not sure why pointing out that Foles is who he is refutes that in any wayby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
