    If the NFL was rigged, Steelers and Cowboys wouldn't have the Super Bowl drought that they do.  They are the two most popular franchises and would get the highest ratings.  

    You have to be good enough to get to the big games. The NFL can't whistle your way to victory every game, it can't be that frigging obvious.

    Fight me. This is an entertainment program. This isn't competitive sports. To many stories line up to increase the talking points (the Kelce brothers), Mahomes on a Brady chase, the refs making questionable calls in favor of only one direction. You name it, no way so many coincidence. It all just seems odd to me.

    I could be wrong. But in a sports betting world, how does the house know where to bet. It's only when they know the odds, or control the deck.

    All just seems to scripted to me. I literally could've guessed the outcome of this game after the first quarter.

    Thirty years ago I would have called you an idiot, today I can't say that you are an idiot. Too many breaks and calls that favor the establishment favorite. It's not a good look.

    Coaching 101 with replay. Call a TO to give yourself more time with flag in hand and delay by talking to officials. Challenge play and refs give TO back. If Shanahan's replay team tells him it is a catch, then use the TO to regroup the defense.

    The challenge would get called and the review would overturn the catch. Leads to a punt and no score for the Eagles. Shanahan messed up bad on that one.

    I hear you, but It was a blown call and a gift.

  4. Uninspired retread hire. Low hanging fruit. 

    Obviously an improvement over Rhule but Tepper never fails to fail. Wilks earned the job, but that's too out of the box for the stodgy NFL, and Tepper is incapable of original thought. He is a follower,who hired the incompetent Rhule because he was the new shiny object.

    Was it?  From what I remember, a lot of us were hesitant about hiring a coach with little or no NFL experience.  

    No it wasn't, and it wasn't considered a "coup" by anyone other than the fanboys. There were many, many many detractors.
