I can't believe people truly believe these things.

I coached high school basketball for almost 30 years, and the number of fans who thought the refs were biased towards certain teams always made me laugh. Referees are human, and some of them aren't very good at their jobs, and an individual official might be more apt to call a certain style of play a certain way.... but goodness people. To think there's this mass conspiracy against your team is just silly.

That's what happened for the Saints no?

100% that happened to the saints that was a very odd season seems the nfl always gets very convenient nfl story lines.  The chiefs have always been good but since taylor swift has arrived they seem to get every single call.

So your theory is that the NFL is fixing games and risking a literal license to print BILLIONS every year if anybody found out because Taylor Swift?

This argument doesn't hold up.

2024: 2nd least penalized.

2023: 14th

2022: 7th

2021: 24th

2020: 29th

2019: 15th

2018: 32nd

2017: 27th

2016: 18th

2015: 12th

 

There isn't a real pattern here. They were a top 10 least penalized team in 2022, as well. Long before the Swift nonsense.

Also, the fuging idiots who watch because of Taylor Swift don't know or care at all about the game being played.

I think least vs most penalized doesnt work.  More attention needs to be paid to when the penalties are called and if they effected the outcome of the game.  One call can decide most nfl games if you extend a drive or kill a drive.  I remember watching a panthers game a few years back the other team was penalized way more than the panthers but all the penalties happened at times that basically made no difference, but then the panthers lost on a bad pass interference call at the end that decided the outcome but just looking at penalties it seemed opposite than what really happened during the game.  Everything goes back to money and rich people always want more.  In baseball, soccer, and basketball refs have been bought and paid for to change the points spread for gamblers.  It would be naive to think the same has not happened in the nfl to some level.  Maybe its just coincidence that certain things happen.... but there is always the famous quote no such thing as coincidence...

I think you are really trying too hard to make a narrative that makes very little sense. Did the refs block a GW FG?

Or, IDK, it could be that is a great football team filled with great players and also great coaches?

They can 100% influence gamesand it's perfectly legal. They are an entertainment industry no different than WWE. There's only so far they can go due to the players themselves, but refs can absolutely kill drives, make timely bad calls, etc. As long as they don't cost Vegas to lose too much, or make it to obvious no one will say a thing.

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
