It was a terrible spot, but it looked like he got the first down from my vantage point. He may very well have made the first down line, but the refs made damn sure there was no doubt about it. 33 minutes ago, ShadyBillsFan said: New Rule. Anyone that signals a ref for PI when there isn’t one should get a 5 yard penalty. I saw the Pats do it half a dozen times. Trying to get the "Brady Effect" by association. I think the NHL has a penalty for diving, they should maybe do a similar penalty for the Brady-style bitching for an unwarranted penalty. Extension of unsportsmanlike conduct.

All they are doing is showing up the officials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRHater69 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Personally I thought the two most exciting things that happened during the AFC Championship game were when the refs huddled up for about five minutes both times and then told us "The game clock is correct." Now THAT'S NFL football and the drama of competition at its finest! I'm glad that was on display yesterday to national TV audience so that even the casual fan could enjoy the game. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve yet to see it called but maybe because of said rule. I’ve seen a few “fake flops” the Brady Effect. I like it A delay of game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the MLB players get outright ejected from the game for questioning balls and strikes calls, don't think it's a stretch to have a 5 yard "minor unsportsmanlike conduct" for repeated attempts to coerce refs into a call.

NewEra Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 14 hours ago, Albany,n.y. said: WRONG: Not rigged or blind. Just too chicken to make a game deciding call. It's believable, done often by refs in all sports who don't want to take the responsibility of deciding a game when a non call gives the game back to the players to decide. Look at it this way. 2 teams won the coin toss in OT. NO threw a pick & lost the game. NE won the toss and drove down the field for a TD. In both cases the players decided the game. Sure, that’s what you’d like to think. Doesn’t mean that that’s actually the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fallout from a league-wide game rigging scandal (and subsequent federal prosecution) would probably end the league. The money goes too far for any serious talk of rigging. The Western Conference finals in the NBA were fixed before and that league is more popular then ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 What I don't understand in a situation like that, when the play first happened they said on TV "The officials are huddled up" Why don't they just huddle up for an extra long time, talk about the weather, where to go eat after the game whatever, just to kill some time. And while they're huddled a couple of them look up out of the corner of their eye and watch the replay on the jumbotron. Then say oops, and throw the flag. Yes they'd get ripped for throwing a flag maybe 20 seconds later, but probably less so than what's happening now. And at least they 'd know the right call was made. They could always say we were just checking to make sure no one saw a tipped pass or something else and it took awhile to figure things out.

If the NFL really wanted it to have the kind of transparency and governance as something like an Olympic event or such, they could start by having an independent Officiating body that has some kind of "objective" 3rd party oversight. The "We police ourselves and we find that we are awesome" mantra that they try to sell just does not fly. Doesn't work in business, sports, etc.. Fans should always keep the perspective that this is an entertainment business that needs to fill seats and generate advertising revenue that BTW also now allows gambling over outcomes. Not to be all conspiracy theory, but there are a lot of reasons that folks would have to slant the outcomes of games including as you mention above towards creating favorable outcomes for teams in new markets with large fan bases and there is very little "real" oversight to prevent that from happening by means of favorable calls or non-calls.

Just in Atlanta Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 So the NFL has enacted a conspiracy to cheat a popular team (the Saints) for a team that can’t fill half its stadium to play against a team that everybody outside of New England hates? Conspiracies are possible. But I fail to see how a bad call equates to “clear” or “obvious” evidence of anything but bad officiating. Your logic is questionable at best.

Just in Atlanta Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Further, the bad call is bad for the NFL, which already is suffering from bad PR from CTE, Anthem kneelers, limited millennial attention spans, parents increasingly not letting their kids play and declining viewership. How on Earth is a ***** no-call going to help the NFL? Conspiracies need reasons for them to exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
