The NFL is Rigged

[LinvilleGorge]

Today was the worst day for NFL officiating since SB50.

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.

It was a play off of Ed Hochuli when Cam Newton got destroyed. Cam got up and Ed told him, he wasn’t old enough to get that call, in 2015.

Dang. Bringing up the history. My B!

We definitely had zero calls go our way in crunch time of many of those important ball games.

I’m sure Tim Donaghy enjoyed this game.

serious question

how would you tell the difference between outdated old men genuinely doing a shitty job and ‘conspiring/meeting together ‘rigging’ the game with zero proof?

all fans think then and their team is special and if luck doesn’t go their way things are rigged. It’s not unique 

in reality, the concept of primarily old men running around trying to spot things, in a day an age where we have laser and computer chips, is more likely and logically the culprit

That seems convenient. Just sayin'.

That opening round bye was important apparently

If its incompetence it would be more 50/50 you would assume.   Not clearly all calls going to one team.

[top dawg]

Meh. Wasn't the best called game, but wasn't the worst. The play do-over was absolutely the correct call, as the referee stopped it.

You can only do so much to overcome the Cowboys' choking. When you have Dak spraying the ball around like a kid at the carnival, what can you really do?

I mean, the Steelers do have six rings.

The Cowboys SB is during the season.

They are the most talked about team in the NFL. That's gets the NFL all the ratings they need. They can live without them in the SB.

Lols the two teams with some of the highest number Superbowl rings.

They gave their cash cows the glory first. Now it's time to build the brang bigger. More billions and trillions to go around.

I don’t think the NFL is rigged per se but they sure as hell have favorites, situations, and match ups they prefer.

I fully believe that Super Bowl 50 was swayed in a way that would not let Manning go 1-3 in super bowls.

Uh, ok.  They can live without Mahomes, Burrow, Hurts, Brady etc...  They make money hand over fist regardless.  But a cowboys eagles NFC championship game followed by a steelers cowgals SB would be a ratings bonanza.  That is what they would want if they were going to rig things.

If you need to test your anger management just go back and watch that game.  I did recently and it is sickening
