A bad call that affects outcome doesn't have to be in final 2 minutes. I spoke of that with Eagles non-touchdowns that were called touchdowns last year. Those were outcome altering. They were not in final 2-minutes. I'm not dense but you're the one who tried saying the Saints should stop crying because of penalties not called in the SB and I asked you to give some examples. The hit from NRC on Pats was correct. It wasn't a blatantly blown call. You may not like the call and the rule but it was called as the rule states. These aren't the same things. It's getting old because you're making allegations that aren't supportable with facts.
Nothing will ever change that Saints situation. Saints were taken from the SB and Rams went in their place and did a fine fine job. The country is fortunate the Rams went. It gave the lowest rated SB in 10 years.
The difference in what you're trying to say is this... When a call is made at a point that is not determining in the game there is no way to know the full impact of the missed call. When it is at the end, you do know. That's the difference. We know that if the call is right in Saints game they kick GW FG and Rams have between 0-12 seconds with no timeouts to kick tying FG.
