Tu-Toned Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 And walked them right into the end zone for the tie. I know that we are not supposed to cry over spilt milk, but this bovine hasn't stopped leaking in years. Move them to Toronto, maybe they will stop picking on them up there. Atlanta was not winning that game without the refs assistance. Marketing, scheduling, rules and bogus and inconsistent application of such. One step above WWF, and a small one at that. I am picking a new sport, I watch, but am absolutely starting to hate the NFL. The only difference, is how I watch it, I watch now as if I am viewing one of the final episodes of dancing with the stars, or one of those bogus reality shows. I guess that the NFL doesn't care if people start to look at their offering as a scam with predictable and scripted outcomes. You can say all that you want about parity, but the teams have all been drafting the same way for years now, and this type of parity, with almost every game going to the wire or overtime, just doesn't jive with me. You can run at least five more beer commercials with overtime. The rest of you can believe what you will, but I have enough swampland in Florida already.

Tu-Toned Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 No whining here, just good old fashioned common sense based on astute repetitive observation. He'll you don't even need the astute part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 How do you explain the fumbles? Refs with remote control footballs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tu-Toned Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 if you think its rigged, why watch at all? why take the time to discuss it here? Ok, I knew that some sa would state that I think the games are rigged or fixed. No they are not rigged or fixed, just heavily manipulated. Btw, I will discuss what I want to where and when I want to. Didn't think that I needed your permission. I will check with you next time. How do you explain the fumbles? Refs with remote control footballs? Game should have been over way before the fumbles, but it is people like you that help to keep that curtain closed on the bs NFL. Ba bah bah. Move a long little sheepy.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Ahhhh my faith in some Bills fans whining about bad calls is restored. It's Monday, so it's a bit early for this. Usually after gut-wrenching defeats, it goes like this: 1) Sunday. General outrage and depression (4 or 5 "I'm done" threads) 2) Monday. Discuss firing of coaches and release of key players 3) Tuesday. Blame officials 4) Wednesday. Some sanity returns due to All-22 analysis 5) Thursday. Re-start playoff probability formulas 6) Friday. Onto the next game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeMonkey Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 So you think that they were good calls? The PI in the end zone was a good call. He grabbed the receiver by the collar in plain view for gods sake. Even the Pats* probably wouldn't get away with that one much less a bad team like the Bills. The other "phantom" call some are complaining about near the end I honestly don't remember and would have to look again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsClinton Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Game should have been over way before the fumbles. Agreed. There would have never been a fumble situation because the refs gave the Falcons a free TD minutes prior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Did you watch the game? Yes I did. But I am not one of those that thinks all of the bad calls have gone against the Bills for the last 14 years and there is a conspiracy against them.

MarkAF43 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I'm not sure I'm willing to concede that the league is fixed. I think there are pushes to guide for certain things to happen, but I wouldn't go as far as saying it's a fixed league. I'll hang up and listen.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 So you are saying Bills fans here are over achieving this week? I am not sure about that, because that would mean sanity might return by tomorrow. Very doubtful. It just means more of an extended bemoaning of the officials. I also haven't yet seen a "fire crossman" or "fire hackett" thread yet, so we are a little behind on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will check with you next time. remind me where i said you needed my permission - i simply asked why you spend so much time on it if you dont think theres integrity in the game and the team you want to see win is more washington generals than harlem globetrotters in your view. a selection from your post: One step above WWF, and a small one at that.

MarkAF43 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 You sir have restored my faith in humanity, didn't think there was anybody out there left with some common sense, thank you! I think it's the same in any major sport though. there are teams that all professional leagues want to win. It's just what they deem a good business model. For example, in the NHL, does the league want the Florida Panthers in the playoffs or the Maple Leafs? It's an obvious answer and it's what the league deems as best case scenario for them. I don't think there is a big difference from the NFL to any of the other major sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterlaw Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 There was a pivotal 4th quarter call on Aaron Williams for illegal contact. A quick replay showed that he did not come close to touching a player. Bizarre. But it's a quid pro quo. Another defeat means a better draft pick.
