I've never believed the NFL was rigged...

It was really bad. I also never want to believe that the NFL is rigged, but my belief is dwindling. This had the feel of last year when we played the 49ers in the playoffs. Anybody who watched that game knew the refs were obviously on the 49ers side. I still can't get over that rigged game. Seriously though, it's getting really bad.

I first started believing the year Delhomme  gave his double gifts to the bears.

Not rigged but it's clear they wanted Dallas to advance. If you thought that was bad, how do you think it's going to be up in Seattle? Nobody outside of Panther fans wants to see us advance. I expect 0 calls to go our way.

 

I can't even imagine how one-sided that game is going to be called. To the NFL, It would be a travesty if a 7-8-1 team beats the defending superbowl champs in their own house, expect the most BS calls you ever witnessed.

what would be the best scenario then watch how it plays out?  Cowboys to SB would be huge.The Cowboys playing Carolina in Champ game not so much. just sayin... on second thought maybe the PTB would want the 'boys to have an easier road, maybe we will get some help after all.

I just want a fair called game. That's all I ask for. Let's legitimately see who really is the best team out of these two without the ref's help.

It was a shitty call, but was it all that different from the kuechly/gronk play from MNF last year? And I cant feel too sorry for the lions, the league didnt make Jim Caldwell pull a ron rivera circa week 4 2013 move by not going for it on 4th and 1 near midfield and watching his punter only kick the ball 10 yards.

Refs are bad, that's why every play needs to be capable of being challenged for accuracy by officiating crew. Same rules like 2 challenges per team or third if you correctly challenge two, but not every player can be seen at the same time by all the refs, mistakes (or rigged calls) can be made.

1. It was holding off the line of scrimmage that became PI when the defender never bothered to play the ball. 1 missed penalty and the second, well, the flag was thrown, it was announced on live television, then the flag was picked up with no explanation whatsoever.

 

2. It was unsportsmanlike conduct when 88 came onto the field without his helmet and jawed with the refs when he's not a captain and he's not on defense. 2nd missed penalty.

 

3. It was either unsportsmanlike conduct for (pick one) either excessive celebration or removing the helmet on the field when Murray scored a TD, reached up and unsnapped his chin strap, then began gesticulating wildly enough his helmet came off. 3rd missed penalty.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
