    Yea...but you left it up to the refs at that point. Garrett would be roasted over an open fire if he managed the end of game that way if that is what the Cowboys did and lost. If you can't stop LA from driving the length of the field with 30 seconds left and no timeouts, then you really wouldn't deserve to win. But, to lose like this and gave the refs the opportunity to lose it for you with a missed call? Well, we see how that turned out.

    They would have had over a minute. 4 plays take about 15-20 seconds and they can run 40 seconds off after 3rd down. That leaves 1 minute.

    That’s the difference between a good front office and a bad one. The Rams had their own mediocre head coach in Jeff Fisher and then decided to hire a innovative playcaller In McVay. The Texans need to fire their Jeff Fisher in Bill O’Brien. We will never sniff the super bowl with this guy

    I don't understand your "leaving it up to the refs" logic. It was a 1-on-1 pass play that was clearly pass interference. There wasn't hand-fighting or ticky-tack contact. There wasn't a gray area that could make you go "hmm, it could be PI...but it also might not be PI."

    There was no leaving it up for interpretation. The Rams player never turned his head to locate the ball, and absolutely steamrolled the Saints player about half a second before the ball even got there.

    Tom Brady giving a master class on how to control the clock on the opening drive.

    I thought our loss against the Warriors was bad, but the Saints loss takes the cake. Some of us were not happy, but reading all the people at their NOLA paper, all of them felt like a robbery on TV.

    Huh? I didn't mean leaving it up for interpretation. I meant leaving it up to the refs not screwing up their responsibility of making the correct call. Clearly, it was a pass interference.

    I would still take that over how it turned out.

    Bill has seen it all -- Kelly, Warner, Manning, etc.

    How good is the Patriots' O-line? They're looking like the Dallas O-line from a couple of years ago.

    So surprising the Saints receiver didn't complain. He did even gesture.

    Patriots looking strong but KC's huge INT in the endzone keeps the game close. Chiefs vaunted offense getting shutout thus far.

    That goal line interception was huge.

    This game should have been 14-0 with the Patriots having dominated this entire first half.
