Búfalo Blanco Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 (edited) There’s no doubt in my mind that the NFL will attempt to “steer” games when they’re close… to keep them close, and ratings up.The Vegas/NFL relationship is something I wonder about, but who knows? But, when it comes down to the brass tax (in this case, OT, which shouldn’t have happened) they will give the “Jordan effect” to the players that lift the ratings, revenue, etc. Tom Brady will ALWAYS get a few calls to help him over the hump, if they can help it. They’d prefer a NE/TB championship, so they’ll “steer” that or other considerations, assuming no one comes in and just annihilates either team without question. Rigged? No.. Manipulated to a degree whenever very close and possible? Sure… Edited December 13, 2021 by Búfalo Blanco 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in violent agreement with you on the Evans call. He tackles the DB, but it's DPI, not OPI. Joke. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No PI for us but as soon as Evans wrapped up Wallace they couldn't wait to get the flags out. All we want is fairness and an even-handed approach. Get that and we would have had a great chance of winning today. Absolutely. It was atrocious the PI's Edited December 13, 2021 by MarkyMannn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diggs didn’t initiate though…and there was a play where they were both hand fighting then the db went down and grabbed the sh*t out of diggs’ Jersey afterwards…that has to be called. The way I saw that final play before OT was the db pretty much tackled diggs…it wasn’t a feet getting tangled type scenario. I think that terrible ref got fooled when he threw his hands up like ‘I didn’t touch him’ lol both players involved in that play knew it was no doubt PI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah John Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 The Bills were able to have a big second half because Tampa Bay stopped attacking on defense. The Bills O line showed no ability to stop the TB rushers. The lesson that's going to be learned by defensive coordinators all over the league, as if they don't know it already, is that if you play soft defense, Allen will kill you, but if you attack, you can crush the Bills because our O line is pitiful. The Chiefs have two rookies playing extremely well on their O line. We have Boogie Basham. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffBills51 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 The NFL is an entertainment business and Brady is one of the biggest storylines. Do I think it is rigged, no. Do I think there is bias towards certain teams and players, yes. Unfortunately the Bills still aren’t the appeal that draws the big dollars to get the big calls. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
