all I know is a shitload of Saints fans were in the dome cheering when Cam was done and they thought he was hurt.    I checked all the ones sitting around me I had been chatting it up with

Didn't you guarantee we were going to win the game because you were there? :thinking:

We all know that a healthy Panthers roster is a better team and that secondly the refs cheated them out of the game. Even the average ignorant post Katrina/ NFL storymode Saints fan realizes this in the bottom of their soul. They are awarded no credit and will be eliminated once they hit natural grass.

There's a decent chance they don't play another game on natural grass this season.

I said the same thing I always say....

only now I can’t say it.  

We'd never lost in a wild-card round before. And the Saints have never lost a playoff game at home. One of those trends was going to change yesterday.

Unfortunately, it was ours.

    • Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.
    • I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually. 
    • Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
