Nasty Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I would like to think not...but i wonder???? Hear me out for a minute, all the calls made by the refs are opinionated except for offsides and a clear pass interference in the open field. And think about how much money the NFL makes during the regular seasone not just for the big market teams but for all teams. Look how many teams they show on the TV that everyone sees in "the playoff picture" let's get real the Bills at 5-5 are out, but they will still show them up on the board to keep the die hard fans still involved thinking "we still have a shot" so they keep buying tickets and jersey's, plus the NFL still needs the fans to watch the ads during the games from which the NFL makes so much money from. It wouldn't surprise me if the Bears make the playoff's or start winning games to keep their fans involved because they play in such a big market. The NFL is like the WWE they kind of tell you who to like (i.e. the Patriots can do no wrong with Tom, where ever Payton is will be huge, the Seahawks with the 12th man (whom they stole from Texas A&M) are huge now just because of that) and the refs control the game kind of like the refs in the WWE. Think about when the Bills were superbowl contenders we had fans everywhere but people got tird of them so they moved on. Then I think about the Bills this year, yes their coaching isn't the greatest but think about some of the questionable calls the last two weeks: 1. against the Chiefs 2nd and 10 Complete pass to Hogan short of the first down forced out of bounds and then a late hit with no call. The play right after that two Chiefs jumped in the neutral zone one touches a Bill and they call False start on our right tackle. Now those calls didn't effect the outcome of the game but both could have extended the Bills drive 2. Tonight against the Dolphins, not only did it feel like the Dolphins were going to win from the way they were covered by the NFL network, the intentional grounding was a joke and I am glad Deion said so on the set after the game, but Gilmore made the best play of his career and he gets called for Pass Interference to set up first and goal for the Fins scoring a TD putting the game away. I hope the NFL isn't rigged but sometimes I think it is putting the small market teams in the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big C Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 The theories are certainly out there. But lets not act like that's why we lost. We felt this way about the calling against Chicago too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gisele Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Yes. I've been getting ready for my first call to the NFL Channell on Siruius tomorrow to vent. I'll keep it as classy as I have to so they won't cut me of but I have several instances of "fixing" that I would like to point out. No doubt in my mind, the refs tonight had an agenda. wow, my spelling sucked on that one. Learn from me, kids, don't type mad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) Rigged? Come on now, lol. You think the NFL is going to risk its business worth Billiions to make sure the Bills lose when we are already the most talented team in the NFL at blowing games ourselves? How does this make any sense? Why would the NFL care to risk everything to make a team no one other than Bills fans care about lose? What does the NFL gain? They also don't care about the Chiefs or Dolphins. They don't bring ratings...so why rig those games? Whats to gain? To ask if something is rigged, you first need to ask why or what the motive will be. If you can't come up with a logical reason (which there isn't one) then you pretty much got your answer.

qdawg in philly Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) ABSOLUTELY RIGHT op!! And the mob, bookies, and owners are in on it!! We were 5.5 underdogs. Get the !@#$ out of here with that bull ****. They have two major injuries and we still lose. We bust the dolphins ass in the first game and now we lose by more than 5.5? Complete bull ****!! It's scripted! Here's two examples! How the !@#$ did the ravens win the year before? Oh cause Ray Lewis was retiring? Here's the REAL one. Katrina hits and the saints win the superbowl!! I don't know when our number will be called again, but it'll be set up for us to win!! Edited November 14, 2014 by qdawg in philly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
