    It was bang bang in real time and the refs didn't have a clear view. They erred on the side of letting them play.

    It's one thing to bitch about a flag that shouldn't have been thrown...but crying for a flag because you're desperate for a first down is a whole 'nother level of pussiness.

    wasn't bang bang though. It was painfully obvious in real time. And I say this as someone who loathes Sean Payton

    He was there like 0.3 seconds early. I'm not gonna say it wasn't a penalty but I have seen much more blatantly obvious instances of pass interference than that.

    When you consider the angle the refs had, it's not too hard to see why they didn't throw the flag.

    we will agree to disagree.

    The receiver didn't even act like there was an obvious penalty. Neither did the announcers. It wasn't until people saw the replay from different angles and in slow motion that it became more obvious. Even Mike Pereira used the term bang bang.

    Okay, now I'm ready to agree to disagree.

    .3 seconds is a long ass time given the circumstances. The Saints were in the red zone, so the field was condensed. This was also an obvious passing down. If this occurred 40 yards down field, I get it. But there is no excuse for missing that play. As a ref, he has to be better at his job.

    I'm also a Steeler fan, so I really don't care who wins this thing, but watching as a casual observer, that no call is a fireable offense.

    I hate you so much, that words can't describe

    You have ruined more days for me than anybody

    I wish you a long miserable death

    But damn it...I have to give you props on the troll job. That right there is GOAT off the field material.

    I hate you Tom Brady, but I respect you.

    He’s a pill head version of Sark, except he’s a much better coach.
