Do we need to see a God rule in NFL football that if there is an absolutely terrible call like the Saints game that they buzz down and review it?
I dont want coaches to be able to challenge calls as I think that is too far, but if they see an absolute abortion of a call they should be able to change it.
Maybe its only a fourth qtr type of option for the officials as then the game is getting so late it can be almost impossible for a team to overcome a call.
How much "young genius vs. old genius" commentary will we get for the next two weeks now?

While that no-call was the worst "air ball", it wasn't even the only miss on that play, much less the whole body of pass interference no-calls committed by LA in that game. The difference between the way that the LA and NE defenses were officiated looked like two different sports were being played. It's pathetic and it's inexcusable.
Everybody knows that the LA masses only turn out for a winner. Kroenke-dome needs this, and it will house NFLHQ west. I'm just sayin'.....
I have to ask this - IF the Rams were still a team from St Louis, would the game have been officiated in the same manner ?
LA v. Boston.....old, crafty, hooded, NFL wizard v. coaching wunderkind.....#1 top pick QB future v. Mr 6th round try-hard over-achiever QB past...... The NFL probably couldn't have a better TV scenario if they had set this up intentionally.........
They should offer Belichick a million to grow his white beard out

I think they game would have been officiated the same no matter the teams involved. The SB will have the viewers, the hype no matter what and they can spin the marketing to make it huge viewership.
I am not on boat with people who believe it is rigged or they league has some sort of say in whom is being represented. There are plenty of stories to go around. Brees vs Brady or Mahones is still just as huge as the west coast is apathetic to the nfl.
I dont buy it because there is one thing, and only one thing, that I believe can derail the NFL and how we know it.
and that is...….the fixing of games to get a desired matchup. In a world where if there are more than 1 person involved in something it gets out.
That would ruin sports as we know it.
BetOnline, a giant of online sports gambling, has been taking action on the New England Patriots’ side of the point spread for Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta. How much action? Currently favored by (-2) points, the Pats are taking a stunning 85% of the sportsbook’s ATS wagers on the Super Bowl.
The point spread did move a little bit on Monday, going from a nominal opening lean toward the Los Angeles Rams, currently a (+2) underdog, to a slight “-“ edge for the Patriots. But the bookmaker stepped in to contain line movement to less than a FG margin as of approximately 48 hours in, believing that the Rams are being undervalued.
The game will be won, or lost, by Suh and Darnold.
If those two wreak havoc up the middle in stopping the run and getting into TB12 face, they win.
If the don't do it enough, they lose.
With that said,
LAR win this one.

FWIW the college teams with the most players in the Super Bowl : UGA and Rutgers with 4 players apiece. AS far as conferences SEC has 21 former players in the SB while the BIG has 20.
Is Sam Darnold playing d line in LA?
I feel like the key for the Rams is if the DL can beat up Brady similar to how Philly and Giants did it in the past.
This NE dynasty began with a Super Bowl win against the Rams, I am going to say it ends with a Super Bowl win against the Rams. NE wins 27-17!
