Current Events > Holy crap the NFL is rigged.

(+) Yeah! (+)

It is actually rigged. I mean, it makes sense...it's a business but holy shit.

Yeah it isn't really a surprise at this point. A fat majority of the primetime games this year have ended on a game-winner of sorts (FG or TD)

Wish they were better at hiding it, but when you're up 2 and your opponent needs to go 37 yards in 37 seconds with no timeouts, maybe consider guarding the sideline and underneath instead of letting them get into an easy field goal range in 2-3 plays?

Deep play will end the game, sure, but that's a lot harder to hit than 2-3 free underneath freebies.

Well yeah it's professional sports

I stopped following the NFL about 10-15 years ago. Sometimes, when watching Patriots games, it was like watching WWE.

---

Didn't you see the refs just make up a penalty week one

Their mic was accidentally left on and caught it

---

If the NFL was rigged then wouldn't there not be gambling on football matches?

NFL is as scripted as the WWE, but I still enjoy it and mark out

---

That's why the New York teams are so good

At least auto racing is not rigged

With the exception of Nascar

Have to see it in action.

Maybe a knee was down or something before he crossed the stripe.

If any of the big sports were to be fixed, it's the NFL with how every snap being a set play.

---

I feel if it was actually rigged, someone would have spilled the beans by now. Too many people would need to be involved for it to realistically work.

On the heels of a missed delay of game that cost the Lions the game, this has been a horrible week for NFL officiating.

Football players are basically dumber neanderthals with traumatic brain injuries. All is take is a few shot callers to tell them to run a shitty play and they would never think twice.

Football players may not be the rocket surgeons, but this post is dumber than even the dumbest ever football player.

Yeah and the way they have cozied up to gambling proves it

---

The problem with refs is that you can probably find a penalty on almost every play if you look hard enough with how much of a judgement call a lot of them are.

---

replay review across basically all sports is being sabotaged by the refs

that's not a straight down shot either, so it's hard to tell from the angle

Not if only the top entity knows. I've been watching the NFL for 20 years and only so many times can you see refs letting them play for 3 quarters, then the 4th quarter lasts an hour and it's a bullshit call that decides the game.

Until some sort of proof, or whistleblower comes forward, all of this just sounds like salty fans who watched their team lose and are crying "rigged" like trump voters.

---

If it were actually rigged, the Chiefs wouldn't be 1-2.

OP forgets he is in the Matrix
