Is the NFL fixing games?

Carolina vs San Fran game should be looked at the way this San Fran fan looked at the Seattle game.  I'd dare say that Carolina had as many calls go against them as San Fran had go against them in Seattle.

 

I hate to sound like a whiner, but this San Fran fan did a great job of exposing several horrible calls that made the difference in the NFC Championship game.

I think it is a matter of the game getting too fast for part-time officials. Look at the instant replay process.  Why should the ref stop the game, go to the sideline and stick his head in what looks like a peep show at a 1930's carnival, watch video for 90 seconds, and then return to the field and explain his ruling to the crowd?  Why do we have chains instead of infra-red lasers to measure first downs?  Why don't the noses of the football have microchips so we can tell if it broke the plane in a pile up? 

 

Fairness is attainable. They choose not to have it that way.  That tells me that they are willing to accept preventable mistakes as a part of the game.  Some may think they ENCOURAGE it.

 

 Officiating stirs emotions and emotions is what stimulates interest.  Griping about the officials is more common at the Monday moring water cooler than the State of the Union Address.  Why else would you not want better officiating? 

 

I have to think this is a fixable problem that is intentionally unfixed.

Haven't watched yet.

That said, San Fran was one tipped pass away from winning. If that is how the almighty NFL rigs a game then they suck at it.

 

If you watch the youtube video, it's pretty evident that Seattle would not be in the game if all these calls had not gone their way.  Here is the full article.

I agree with the conclusion of that article. "Ultimately, the video in question had too many baseless claims, inaccuracies and hyperbole to be taken too seriously."

 

 

 

It's hilarious to see San Fran whine about calls after the game in Carolina.

I am not going to bother watching the video but can you please give me the reason the NFL would have an interest in assuring a team from the bottom half of the league in market size would reach the Superbowl instead of a top 5 market size team?

I saw about 50% homerizims and 50% actual blown calls.  The entire clock situation is really baffling too.

1)  #1 Offense vs #1 Defense.

 

2)  Spread the wealth and let smaller market teams win  Basically the entire point of a salary cap, so obviously the NFL wants smaller market teams to compete.

 

3)  Seattle's strong fan base being rewarded for their commitment.

I don't think our game or their game was fixed.

 

I do think the refereeing in the NFL sucks and is getting worse not better.  It was a trend all season in various games.

 

 

There is always data on how certain crews call games....some crews call PI statistically more than others, some never call OL holding, etc.... Are those crews told where they missed obvious holding/PI by the league?

I'd like a post-season report on how the refs graded out during the season. Don't want names, just would like to see how the league grades/comments on individual ref performances.

And the gain for the NFL is....?

 

 

 

Dear Seattle Fans

 

We really like your commitment and would like to risk going to prison and the collapse of our multi billion dollar industry to say thank you.

 

Sincerely,

 

The NFL

 

ps....12th man 4Ever!!!!!

 

 

 

Seriously, what does the NFL get in return for any of what you listed?

Don't hold your breath on that.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
