If only I had a talent for picking anything but the obvious.

I don't look at it like we were "robbed" of Brees v. Brady. Instead, I think of it like we dodged a bullet. The Rams will be tough, but Brees would have been a man on a mission to show that he belongs in the same conversation as Roethlisberger and E. Manning with their two rings and Williams with his two SB appearances. Brees is always lauded for his great stats, but, in recent years, he's been left out of a lot of conversations about the second tier of QB's behind Brady. This year, he worked himself back into that discussion and a second SB victory would have sent him to the head of the (second) class. In fact, this past week some mediots were even suggesting that he could be compared to Brady.
The Saints and Brees would have been tougher imo.
Better defense too
It is really hard to win against the Rams including 3 referees living in LA and one of them is a former RamThe Saints are a better team. They should have won that game.
They should be 2-0 versus the Rams.
Secondary and DL for sure.Rams defense is better isn’t it?
When the Saints had the ball with 1:40 left in the game and a first down in chip shot FG range, I started explaining to my wife what the Saints would do.
I told her they'd run the ball three times, make the Rams use their two remaining timeouts and kick the FG to take the lead, leaving the Rams no timeouts and less than a minute to play to try and tie the game.
Instead they throw a pass on first down that's dropped and end up giving the ball back to the Rams with plenty of time left and a timeout. If the Pats ever did that I'd be screaming.
That still doesn't make the non-call any better. That was the worst non-call that I can ever remember seeing.
Right, I saw a Good Morning Football clip that talked about what winning another Superbowl would do to Brees’s and Brady’s Legacy. They said if Brees wins the SB the GOAT debate will be blown wide open, especially if he goes through Brady. I was like WTF.
I like Drew Brees and feel very bad for the Saints. But I’m kind of glad this phantom “GOAT debate” is dead without them playing each other. Brees and Brady faced the exact same situation at the end of the game. Their respective performance showed exactly who the GOAT is.

I strongly disagree.
Brees wins the game if the official doesn't make one of the worst decisions ever made by a ref.
Brady wins because an offsides call, for which the ref might have warned the offender.
