Rams lost and the refs gave them the game.

That non pass interference call took the win from the Saints.

throw a pass that was clearly a pass interference AND a helmet to helmet penalty against the Rams. The Refs didn't call it.
The Saints would have run down the clock, kicked a FG and won the game.

Pass interference no-call was the worst I've ever seen. So obvious I don't know how anybody could have missed it. If not for that the Saints had it in the bag.

There were calls that went against the Saints. The non call at the goal line was horrible. Not only pass interference, but also helmet to helmet. So even if you ignore the PI, then a penalty should have been called for the helmet to helmet.

That being said, the Saints execution sucked. Brees through behind Ginn on a key third down, and that pass to get them the final field goal was horrible, hung it up there, but the Rams safety made a horrible play. (or no play)

That being said, Saints got screwed.
