This wasn't a tough call in the 3rd quarter or something. Their win probability would've been ~99.5% if either of the obvious penalties on L.A. (interference or helmet-to-helmet) had been called.
A couple kneel-downs to center the football and run the clock, and you're looking at a ~20 yard field goal from the middle of the field. That's at least a 99.5% make for an NFL kicker. At least.
Had that penalty been called, the Saints could have knelt down a couple of times and kicked a 20 yard field goal. Are you saying you think they would have missed the winning FG?
So there was a chance. Biggest screw job I’ve ever seen. By a lot.
