All these Saints fans and HC Sean "Bountygate happened under my watch" Payton are so up in arms over the non-call.
I could have sworn that the game still had a minute plus to go and the Saints had a lead. I guess what I'm asking is didn't the Saints have a chance to stop the Rams offense and win the game in regulation? And didn't they win the coin toss and get the first shot at scoring a TD and winning the game in OT? Didn't they also have a chance to stop the Rams offense in overtime from getting within FG range and getting the ball back?
Or am I dreaming all this up?
That's right. Its never Payton's fault. Bountygate was all GWs fault and Sean was fast to throw him under the bus. It wasn't Payton's fault he didn't run the ball and kill the clock and gave the Rams all sorts of extra time in regulation. Heck, its not even his fault that he was outscored by the Rams 26-10 after the 1st quarter.
