It's a tough call, bad angle, so yeah, I can understand why they didn't call it. However one thing you'll learn is that the refs suck and are always against whatever team you are cheering for.
About once a week, if not more, there are "blown calls" where the refs missed something or got something wrong that affected the game. They spent a lot of time last season arguing over what a "catch" was, after this happened: http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highl...z-catch-it
If you rewatch the Broncos / Saints play and pause it at specific moments, you'll see Denver #31 leap over the line and gets himself in front of the ball as it is kicked, which causes it to ricochet to the left and is caught by Denver #34.
