NFL GDT: 2018 NFC Championship Game: (1) New Orleans Saints vs (2) Los Angeles Rams

[Rhodes 81]

The non-call gives NO an excuse to deflect from the fact that they were the worse team for 3 of the 4 quarters.

 

[Troy McClure]

What's the league going to do then? Make both teams come out onto the field and have the saints kneel it. I hate those hindsight decisions when you know they don't mean squat.

And it’s not like the league can make the Saints score more than three points in the second half. New Orleans didn’t help themselves.

 

[Roboturner913]

Had a bad feeling all week. Doesn't matter why really. This is what happens to the Saints. If it hadn't been the missed call it would've been something else. A defensive coordinator that goes against orders, a rookie safety missing an easy tackle, or any other damn thing in the world. We could've run down the clock to 5 seconds and kicked the FG to go up by three and the Rams would've return to the kickoff for a TD. It was destined.

We had our one year, and it was great. It's enough.

You're not good at debating are you? This game has zero to do with Boston or the Bay Area. I'm talking about LA, so bringing in the other two has nothing to do with it. You can end there.

I don't need a geography lesson. Most of my family is in California. The Angels were renamed LA Angels even though they're in Anaheim. It's still Greater LA. The Devils are an NY metro team just the same.

Just shut the f*** up already about counting LA's championships. Winning championships is never enough. Who the f*** cares how many championships a city has won? It has nothing to do with the city. It's the individual organization regardless of the city. And no, Ducks and Angels don't count. Native LA residents and OCers dislike each other, at least in sports and politics. You could say the same about NYers and New Jersey natives.

If the Ducks and Angels don't count for LA, then the Patriots don't count for Boston, since they're in Foxborough, which is closer to Providence.

So then you're double wrong! Since 2000, LA has more championships (7) than Boston (6) and the Bay Area (6)! My point still stands!

Then don't count the Pats championships. What's the big deal? It ain't my problem. As an LA native myself, I do not count the OC championships. OC has their own identity and the only dimwit that wanted the Angels to use LA as their name was their clueless owner Arte Moreno.

Great game, sucks that a blown call had to decide it, though.

The blown call didn't decide the game
It's one play in a 60 minute game
If you have to blame the refs, who blow calls in the NFL for both sides in every game, you didn't do enough to win

So then don't bitch about me bitching about LA having so many titles and chances at them? If you're gonna get technical, I'll get technical, which negates your only point, which would be title count since 2000.

This is just terrible logic.

The right call gets made then the Saints win. End of. It's not comparable to a missed call in the first quarter. That call took the chances of the Saints winning from 99.9% to 50%.

They didn't do enough after it, they absolutely done enough up to that point to earn the win.

 

[Fish on The Sand]

Lots of big, slow guys on the FG team are easier to block.

55 is still a lot to ask. You give the ball to Brees at the 47 and all you need is like 25 yards

 

[Troy McClure]

Payton looks old.

 

[FartMilk]

So you admit that you ***** about something. K thanks.

What are you gonna do, take away my birthday?

 

[MMC]

I don't know if there's someone in the NFL I'd have less sympathy for than Sean Payton

 

[Vamos Rafa]

What are you gonna do, take away my birthday?

You admitting it is all I needed. Thanks.

 

[FartMilk]

You admitting it is all I needed. Thanks.

LA area has nine titles.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

LA area has nine titles.

That's not true. You mean 12. 5 from the Los Angeles Lakers, 5 from the Los Angeles Galaxy, and 2 from the Los Angeles Kings.

If nobody watches soccer in America, does it really count?

 

[YEM]

This is just terrible logic.

Why bring logic into a situation where unpredictable human error is always afoot? Blown calls "decide" games so often that they're part of the game...

 

[Vamos Rafa]

If nobody watches soccer in America, does it really count?

Then why do you count hockey?

 

[FartMilk]

Then why do you count hockey?

Hockey has higher television ratings than soccer.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Hockey has higher television ratings than soccer.

World Cup lol

Pretty sure Messi is a bigger household name in the US than Crosby is.

Rip saint

I've lost track of all the goalposts you're moving for this stupid discussion to continue.

You're citing the MLS in LA's titles, not the World Cup. Hockey (NHL) has tv higher viewership (MLS) in America.

So many salty saints fans, must still have that Katrina taste in their mouth.
