Let's just name it the WWE already.

NFL is so OBVIOUSLY rigged it's not even funny. If you haven't figured that out by now then honestly you are a fugging retard. I don't know what else to tell you, if you haven't figured it out with the mountain of evidence continuing to compile then you never will.

If you mouth breathing retards are still like "but uhhh why would they risk going to prison just to fix games" the US court system has already ruled that the NFL can legally fix games, all they are legally obligated to do is provide entertainment. They do whatever they want to ensure that they make the most $$$$$$, integrity be damned.

And for the record, I would be saying the same thing even if we hit the FG and won the game. poo is ridiculous.

I think the NFL is the greatest business in the world.  They can freely manipulate anything, legally, and their fanbase will continously deny anything is happening.  The NFL is like life to people, and I enjoy it as well, but it's almost sad how much stock we put in other grown men playing a sport for our enjoyment.   It's basically the 401 Nigerian Prince scam level of evidence but we fall for it, every year.  Minus death it's basically a gladiator sport that so many of us cannot just let go, even though we know it's not completely fair out there.   They continously muddle the rules to where they can do whatever in the games, and they keep missing calls, yet they keep their jobs, and the fans think that's just normal and OK.   People will just ignore the fact that like 85% of all money is profit shared anyway so no one really loses that owns these teams (as to why thy don't fight the system).

Look no further than Vegas odds. Thanks to the very close game, Vegas won. If the Panthers would've won, Vegas would've bust, and we can't have that. 

I live in Vegas, funny thing is last Super Bowl, about 6 hours before the game I got a text from some random number I've NEVER got a text from before (or since) pointing out that 85% of money was betting on the Panthers, and that I should get in on it too.

Why would some random number/company be trying to get me to bet on the Panthers? Usually Vegas wants equal bets on both side so that they win on the vig no matter who wins, but even with 85% bets on one side somebody was trying to get me to bet that same way. And then what proceeded was the most obvious biased bunch of refereeing I can remember. Vegas sure won a fug ton that's for sure.

You may as well stop watching sports, Rock. Take off your tin foil hat and enjoy life maybe? It's just a game.

Vegas is the the only smaller-than-an-atom thread of logic you may have about any rigging. But that was the next poster who brought that up, not you. Entertainment value? Uh ... huh? Ok, provide us with all the calls they made against Denver to keep the game close. No? They just picked on us to make it close?

In no other world would it make sense for the NFL to want a Manningless Colorado team to win this one either. There's no point in it.

But every game to come, you knuckleheads will whine that the refs are purposely throwing flags against us because we're "us". Grow a set, stop it with the Carolina Inferiority Complex, and realize that while the refs did indeed miss calls tonight, it was not on purpose.

I think this is the biggest problem. Anytime a team gets screwed over there's 1/32 of the fanbase that's pissed and 31/32 of the fanbase that's either happy or doesn't care. When a team complains about a fix they get brushed off as a bunch of whiners that are just mad because they lost, any evidence is laughed off and ignored.

Keeping the first game of the season, the superbowl rematch, on prime time, close, definitely matters to the advertisers who get money back if the game loses viewers.  You know, advertising, the biggest revenue for the NFL (and shared amongst them).   The NFL also just really doesn't want Cam to be the face of their league.

Greatest business ever, basically.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
