[QUOTE="stocker08, post: 6681847, member: 577940"] All the dispute about the OT rule is appearing becuase of how the NFC Championship ended. There have been close games in OT before, sure, but this is the NFC championship game and there should not be ANY question who the winner of the game should have been. Several calls in OT all went the saints way. The Thomas first down run was questionable because it looks like he MAY have lost control of the ball when he jumped over, in which case forward progression does not count until he regains control. The PI call was bullsh.it but it happened on first down so they had a shot to get the first either way, but it did move the saints into field goal range. The Meachem catch, who knows. I did not think there was enough there to overturn that call. Its too bad becuase it is clear that the better team is not playing in the super bowl. The vikings had their way on offense except for a bunch of fumbles which really sealed their fates. There really is no excuse for why they lost, but they did it to themselves. Still, with all the doubt floating around about the questionable close calls in OT, this should be a huge red flag. Were talking about a trip to the Super Bowl and it comes down to the Refs pretty much deciding it. The NFL has to change this rule. It is really stupid and the college OT system is clearly more superior. [/QUOTE]
