1onemangang7 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 4 minutes ago, CodeMonkey said: Well, it certainly turned out in a way that makes the NFL happy. You don't even know how many turns there are. Lot of turns in a game with half bets, quarter bets, live bets, totals...players stats.. no matter, they put it in everyone's face that that particular turnover didn't happen when we all saw it did. So shrug it off and pretend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1onemangang7 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 A night of missed tackles Joe Buck says 😂 Philly isnt even trying and its always the same techniques, flaling arms, single arm attemps and defenders colliding.. then Aikman almost always has a quick comment on the replay. This time it was "I don't know what that was" .. it's how superior teams lose to inferior teams and it comes out in the wash to everyone as the back and forth nature of the NFL, or Any given Sunday.

JohninMinn. Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) I'm carefully monitoring any controversial calls that go in the Bills favor. The NFL would love a feel good small market story. Another factor is the new Billion dollar boondoggle with no retractable roof out in snowbelt country. That thing is gonna need to be filled for a long time.

iinii Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 On 11/26/2023 at 11:27 PM, The Red King said: (Please don't merge this with the thread complaining about the Bills/Eagles officiating. This is different, with wider scope, and not limited to the Bills.) There have always been suspicions that the NFL is fixed, but this year seems almost blatent. There have been a ton, a ton of badly officiated games this season, and not just involving the Bills. The NFL is in bed with Vegas and the gambling apps, that much is fact. So, my question is, what do you believe? I don't believe the league is outright scripted. But I do believe they have preferences, and are not afraid to unleash the officials to get the outcomes they want, based on trends. I hate to be that guy. I hate to think about conspiracy theories. But the officiating all around the league has been laughably bad/questionable the whole season. Fixed is relative. Bias is real. Officiating is laughable. You may as well be shooting dice in Vegas, oh wait Vegas is an official partner of the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsfaninCT Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) so the bills are doing everything right up the 2 min warning to kill the clock and win the game. goto commercial at 2 min warning. the next 2 plays could've ONLY been worse if he got sacked/fumbled or threw a pick, only 2 worse plays. 1:50 to go and now we throwing balls into the turf back to back i watched the 2 plays for an hour straight and that looked like adam sandler. there's no good reason to throw the ball there and then to miss not 1 (diggs) but 2 more wide open receivers and throw it into the turf. high school coaches and qb's don't make those stupid plays, if they were doing dumb stuff all game sure, but to change course after a commercial break is WWE. if you're not on the WWE bus then coaches get fired right? explain JA17... he didn't get hit and has done superior plays, possibly the worse 3 plays since 13 seconds.

If the NFL fixed the results why have teams like Dallas, Miami and the NY Jets been absent from the Super Bowl in the last three decades? I am not ready to call the NFL completely fixed, but to eliminate the possibility of some fixed games is quite shortsighted imo. Bills/Lions IS a nice storyline.....if you are a Bills or Lions Fan. Taylor Swift (and I never heard one of her songs mind you) is probably as or more popular than the Beatles were. One of my daughters is flying to Scotland to see her. Only she and her husband are going but she had to buy 4 tickets. She is getting offered more for the other 2 than she paid for all 4. Then, you have Kelce pimping for Pfizer. I can only imagine what they are paying him. Do you think that Pfizer wanted the Bills/Lions SB for the storyline, or would they rather sell there vaccines to everyone, especially the millions of new arrivals? Look, I have no way of knowing that any game is fixed but seriously, it is quite possible that it sometimes does happen. 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 (edited) I think that fully fixing the league would just be too difficult. Far too many moving pieces. It's not realistic. Also, for the league to be fully fixed, all the players would have to be in on it, and what do you think the odds are that that many human beings could keep a secret like that? It's just totally, beyond-the-pail, through the looking glass, ridiculous. There's no way. Now...Do I think that it's possible that the NFL emphasizes or de-emphasizes certain officiating points before key games, particularly in the playoffs, in the name of aiding/encouraging certain more "desirable" teams to win and advance? Yes, I think that's possible. The NFL is first and foremost a business, and if having the Chiefs (and the Taylor Swift show) in the Super Bowl equals X amount more dollars in revenue than having the Ravens would, then I absolutely think it's feasible that the NFL would lean on officials to call a game a certain way to help ensure that outcome. And it could be done in a pretty subtle way, too. Not like "make calls that hurt the Ravens!", but more like "be extremely lenient on defensive holding and pass interference calls" (since the Chiefs have a grabby, physical secondary and the Ravens have a speedy/finesse WR group). Fixed? No. Influenced/swayed/finger on the scale at key moments? Very possible, in my mind. Edited February 1 by Logic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
