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.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.

      Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
