I don’t think the NFL is “rigged”, still don’t and doubt I ever will, but I 100% believe the NFL has rooting interests in terms of storylines and things they want to happen to help the shield….and they do everything in their power to influence the outcomes of games. 

that funny cause the Hunt Brothers specifically created the NFL to be rigged. That's documented fact, not even "Conspiracy Theory. Yes the same Hunt's who have ties to the Chiefs.

This. It's not outright rigged, but there's definitely heavy " influence". We watched KC's overmatched RT outright cheat the entire game while the crew raved about Mahomes. We watched Cam's head get treated like a piñata in the SB while the crew waxed poetically about Manning possibly riding off into the sunset with a Lombardi like Elway the very year that the NFL made blows to the head of a QB an officiating focal point. They don't even try to hide it.

You really do need to watch something other than Panthers football sometimes.

He watches plenty. He just gets caught up in watching whatever the hype train is. Then somehow convinces himself that the Lions were the storyline being pushed despite what he's watching. It's a pretty stunning level of confirmation bias.

I was forced to start Toney in Fantasy this week.  Dude got me ONE point.  fuging scrub. 

KC should of highlighted Justyn Ross more.  He blew up this preseason.  He was a first round talent.  Injury knocked him off the map.    Think teams still get to fixated on where a guy was drafted.  Toney does nothing but disappoint and he was essentially the primary play last night.

I know from talking to him in the past that his real football knowledge is...limited.

(to say the least)

how is influencing games different from being rigged?

For me, some of the strongest evidence that the NFL isn't rigged (besides the obvious) lies in the outcome of their 100th season.

Coming down the stretch, it looked like we were headed for a Steelers-49ers Super Bowl. Both teams were undefeated in previous Super Bowls, and you can imagine the kind of insane hype that matchup would have generated.

But it didn't happen...

The Chargers beat the Steelers in the AFC championship. So instead of a game for the ages, the historic season ended up being capped off by an embarrassing blowout and thoughts of what could have been.

No way I believe a rigged NFL would have passed up that opportunity.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
