The playcall was doo doo is the main problem here

Only some of them work other jobs and with the salary amounts it’s probably optional for most, and depending on where they live. The union is powerful because there is hard coded language in the contract that the refs cannot really be held accountable for mistakes, the accountability standards are vague and the refs can only be demoted for poor performance. Pat McAfee did a good segment on it. He advocates for them to be full time but who knows if the referees want it or get it.

How would it even benefit them to be full time? They’d probably lose some abilities to work in other jobs with a full time clause. It’s a 50+ year old labor union and the amount they get paid compared to hours worked, they still receive retirement benefits and health insurance, and after the replacement refs fiasco last time they will probably get a sweetheart deal again. And when requires they are obviously still complicit as they have been since the beginning of the union in nudging games the way the NFL needs them to go.

That’s cool. The NFL referees are a very powerful labor union and their contract is being renegotiated now. Wonder how that goes

Maybe but I think it definitely explains the try-hard aw shucks aura he gives off

Well next week Bryce will get that call because the Bucs are the moneyline favorite right now and that number will probably trend up during the week because of some mysterious reasons or panthers “injuries” and I recommend smashing that moneyline on the Panthers to win because next week they will be getting a win to set up a winner take all final game against the Bucs

Pre reformed Canales that was a porn addicted alcoholic, that’s the coach of the year to me

Right but you need to have the right connections to get the refs to call the game favorably for your team and as far as getting players on other teams to comply with bribes, etc

Having the right ties to organized crime

I mean yea but no, they didn’t coach a good game but I think we all knew they were losing this one deep down in our panthers fandom historical knowledge. This was not a game they usually win and Vegas having the panthers as the overwhelming moneyline favorite was the icing on the cake to push the saints to a win

Yea they’re still a bad team masquerading as a good team. Bryce has made some wild throws in crunch time and hasn’t been as trash as he was in the prior two years, otherwise this team would be 1-13

Except when the NFL blatantly kept them out of the Super Bowl. This game was clearly going the Saints way with the ability to set up a meaningful late season Panthers / Bucs game and making a killing for Vegas on the Saints moneyline hitting

We all know the white QBs always get those calls in that situation. Black QB it’s dependent on the game situation and the ref.

This man gets it. The game outcome isn’t fully scripted but the games are heavily nudged towards certain outcomes and it’s blatantly obvious.

I mean people still watch the WWE, it’s entertainment. Being fair is just the illusion I think the NFL needs to drop. The NBA already lost that battle

Are you that naive? The money that flows in the background on sports betting is not a joke and it’s not all above board. It’s been that way since the 70s it’s just ridiculously obvious now

The game was clearly being nudged the Saints way. When Bryce doesn’t get a carbon copy unnecessary roughness penalty the Saints got twice, so you need more evidence?

Bryce was hit the same way. Only white QBs get those calls

Game over saints will win 20-17 as I said all along

Only white QBs get those calls we all know that

Why don’t you go respond to the one post I made you didn’t quote me on about the nba rigging games or does that not fit the poo you want to respond to me about

I said very early in this game thread the game would end 20-17 saints and that is exactly what the final score will be

I would bet my life savings that’s overturned

That will be ruled incomplete per the script
