The next best thing to winning a Super Bowl might be watching the New Orleans Saints be victimized by a bad call and then lose the NFC Championship Game in overtime.
Sound familiar? It’s exactly what happened to the Vikings against the Saints in the 2009 NFC title game, when BountyGate was born and the Saints walked into the Super Bowl on a game-winning field goal by Garrett Hartley.
NFL fans could not believe that this wasn’t called pass interference 😳😳😳https://t.co/LoZ9fizn5jhttps://t.co/fpRWNtD7YX

This time around, the Saints were hit by a non-call with less than 90 seconds to play that would’ve sealed a victory and send them to Super Bowl 53, but instead the flags didn’t fly and the Rams broke their hearts with a 57-yard field goal to win it in overtime.
How sweet it is, Vikings fans …. especially since the Vikings put a miracle on them to end their season last year.
How do #Saints fans deal with this after what happened last year in Minny? Unspeakable playoff heartbreak two straight years.

A bad call against the Saints!? Oh, what a shame.

A Saints' playoff game might be decided by an illegal hit that wasn't flagged?
Man, that's awful. Hate to see that.

Considering what the #saints got in 2009 and what has happened to them the past two years in the playoffs we may be approaching the point where the universe has balanced itself out.

The #Saints Sean Payton should be in jail, not coaching in the NFL. Ran a team that put BOUNTIES on opposing players incentivizing injuring opponents. Karma for #WhoDey nation.
