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.

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

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
