Now the NFL has announced that those calls will be reviewable. Too little too late. I'm sure that makes the Saints feel so much better. Let's hope that ref doesn't get picked to officiate the SB.

Ok. Yes, Sean Payton should have called three running plays rather than two passes and a run. It would have eaten the rest of LA's time outs. And, yes, the Saints had the ball to start overtime and they should have been able to score at least a field goal. And yes, the Saints couldn't get their running game going. So, yes, the Rams earned the win.
But here's the thing: If the ref calls the pass interference, there is a 99% chance the Saints win the game, running the clock down and kicking a chip shot field goal. And the Saints finally break back through to their second Super Bowl. And that makes a big difference for Drew Brees/ legacy. It doesn't quite put him on Brady's level. Tom will, after all, be playing in his NINTH Super Bowl. (John Elway is next with five). But another Super Bowl appearance and win, combined with all those passing records, would put Brees in the front of the line on the next rung of the 21st Century quarterbacks. So, yeah. That play mattered.
Interesting side note: But for one blown call and one zero-impact off-sides, the Saints and Chiefs are facing off in Super Bowl LIII. Funny game.

With respect to the upcoming Super Bowl, long time Boston fans will recognize the simple phrase "BEAT LA"
although to be honest it doesn't feel like the Rams are from LA. more like a bunch of migrants.

Apparently Goodell has it in his power to overturn the outcome of the game or order the game replayed.
if only they had deflated those balls huh?

I was thinking of the Saint's getting shafted. As for the balls I never assume treachery when malfeasance easily explains the actions.
Goodell could presumably make a cash grab and replay the game next weekend for big revenue dollars.
