Same here. Not a fan of their fans, either. They were pretty obnoxious at PBS when the Saints were kicking our heads in earlier this season. Like to see those same fans tonight

Jets fan base is strong.
Edit: Lol I would bet that the Jets sold more Joe Namath Jerseys in 2018 than the Bengals sold Dalton Jerseys.

It was the NFC Championship game, between two very evenly matched teams. A BLATANT missed call like that in the final minutes is HUGE. Absolutely inexcusable. If that happened to the Bengals in a big game like that people would be losing their minds.

So, you never noticed all of the other missed calls? Just the one that would have benefitted what you wanted to see?
If you haven't been watching the NFL in the past couple decades, the league tends to "let them play" in the Conference Championship games and Superbowl.
For example, if you go back to the first half of the game. There is a play where there was a flag on Cooks for OPI that was waved off. However, the replay clearly showed the DB (forget who) was holding his jersey, right off the line. In mid-season, that's defensive holding 10/10 times.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

Officiating in the NFL is crap! At this level and for this game the best officials should be officiating. That missed call was an easy call to make and they had two calls on that play. A pass interference and helmet to helmet and the helmet to helmet calls have somehow went away for the playoffs. Go figure

What I wanted to see? I didn’t give a shit who won that game. But that was an embarrassing way to decide a conference championship. There’s “letting them play” and there’s what happened. It’s honestly one of the worst no calls in a big game I’ve ever seen. I guarantee the league is already scrambling to combat the PR backlash that’s going to come from it.

That’s crap! You don’t change the rules and you should be consistent and call the games the same through the whole season. So why do they “let them” play and not during the regular season? Is it for ratings? Or some other reason? Regardless this league needs to improve the officiating or it is going to loose credibility

Actually there was the blown call we all were discussing (it was BOTH PI and hitting a defenseless receiver so either way the game should have been over right there), and the Brees overtime INT also featured PI on the Rams (blocking the intended receiver out of the play).

Which is why I will be rooting for the AFC to route the Rams to the extent that viewers around the world turn the game off before the end of the first half. A PR hit (and one to the wallet) like that will prevent something like that from happening again.

Come on man
The NFL needed only 2 great crews today. Crew #1 should be kicked out of the NFL for the missed PI call at end of the game. If they were missing these key calls the entire game, even more reason to fire them.
This looks like the game was fixed, that was the most blatant PI I have ever seen and a defenseless receiver. Absurd
Yet, Bengals Burfict got called for hitting Brown, why Sunset if they are letting them play?
I call BS

Yep. Saints should be in the SB.
Oh well, NFL is a joke. News at 11.

Yep, us impatient bastids will have to wait a bit more.
Saints did get screwed though on those no calls. Dude didn't even play the ball at all on the big play and there was a definate PI on the CB...
Still, in the end the Saints should of made the plays to win it, Whit deserves a ring.
Happy with this, just hoping the Chiefs can come back and beat the Pats.

All NFL fans other than Rams fans and winner of AFC game should boycott the Super Bowl.
Don't watch it to show our disdain and their loss of advertising dollars in 2020

Evidently, none of you have been watching post season play much in the past, because the refs are always very loose on the calls in the Championship Games and Superbowl. Y'all can whine and cry about it all that you like, but you're barking up the wrong tree by differing with me on it. Your real complaint should be to the commissioner's office.

Saints probably got hosed (although the Rams also dealt with a no call which could've changed the game, seeing how close it was), but I'm happy our guy will be coming with SB experience. It puts some weight behind his name. Kinda sucks we get 2 more weeks of waiting, but oh well.

What I can't believe, is the new HC of the Bengals is going to coach in the Superbowl, and we have fans crying about it..
Didn't the Bengals get a young coach with a SB ring last time?

Ok thanks for informing of this since it is not like I have been watching NFL football for over 45 years.

SB parties. The game will never be turned off before the end. Oh, and commercials.
