Or just don't be an ass and hang out in the left lane. Just use common courtesy. The people who tailgate and be an ass are no better and its not a surprise that a lot of road rage incidents occur when inconsiderate people and assholes cross paths. Just make an effort not to be either. "Not allowing the bully to bully you" is also being an inconsiderate ass to the people behind the "bully" who would also like you to GTFO of the left lane. -

It was completely disgusting and the most obvious fix I’ve ever witnessed. Deflating. It’s probably gone on for decades but high def TV has truly outed the egregious ‘officiating’. When was the last time a small market team was allowed to win a SB? Offensive holding is it, and it’s so predictable. 2nd and 7 turns in to 2nd and 17. Defense pins their ears back, covers the slot guy and TE roaming the middle, and watches for the WR/RB screen. D line needs to maintain gap integrity. The deep shot to the WR down the sideline is a low percentage play so no real worry there. Most average O lines won’t be able to convert. Loser getting too close to FG range in a close game? Holding. Winner needs a short field? Holding. DCs love them some obvious passing downs. Narrows down the playbook and significantly puts the odds in their favor. Put a team in 2nd/3rd and long all day and they are NOT going to win that game. It would be interesting to do a statistical analysis of the relationship of holding calls and game outcomes. This is where having skill position people that can go yard on any given play is so valuable. -
It can still be enjoyable. I don't think the players are in on it. I mean, I think they probably understand the "business" but they are trying. So it's fun to watch them. But I admit I'm not even close to emotionally invested as I was before the SB50. It also just happens it's usually on a Sunday and I don't have much going on anyway. I really think it's just one head ref that can push a game the way he wants it from instructions from the man upstairs. Why else do they keep bad refs? I don't think it always works out when they try to push the game though but more often than not it works. Sometimes a team can beat the refs and the opposing team but it's rare.
