As I previously indicated it was a terrible missed call that 99% surely cost the Saints the game. That said I don't think it was a conspiracy by the league or the Ref's. My "gut" feeling is that the ref's swallowed their whistles just as umpires and referees do in many sports in the last few minutes of a game. In basketball, hockey and football they often don't want fouls or penalties to determine the outcome of a game. Usually the withheld calls are more of a judgement call than this blatant FUBAR.
