That comment stands. When you had your chances you didn’t put them away. You let them off the hook on a trick play (fake punt) and there were other blown calls that would have helped the Rams. Coaches always tell players that if you allow the outcome of one play and a ref to decide the game, you didn’t do your job. Saints should have put them away. DB should have milked the clock. They could have given the Rams the ball back with 40 seconds. DB shouldn’t have thrown a pick in OT. Coulda shoulda woulda. You don’t let them pick up fourth and a mile in a fake punt inside their 30 the games over. Let that sink in.
I don’t need a lecture. In spite of all of those things you enumerated, they had a chance to still win the game. If this wasn’t a blatant non call on the part of a referee who happened to be a former player for the Rams.
