Seen a lot about this

At first I thought it was the usual butt hurt fanboys who get mad their team lost (see those hour long Dear World Rugby videos everytime New Zealand or SouthAfrica loses a Rugby match)

But even neutrals are calling the refs sus

What does CE think?

Yes, in favor of the Eagles but MVPat overcame.

All sports is rigged

I think it could be. I missed the play tho. I think I was in the other room with my sister getting a thc gummy lol. It was more a social event than a watch party.

I agree with him when he says it's tinfoil hat stuff to believe it's all staged tho. But it's very easy to change everything with a bad call

"I pulled on his jersey," Bradberry told reporters. "They called it. I was hoping they would let it ride."

keyboard refs cant catch a break.

Generally, are people saying the entire game was rigged, or the one call? Are the refs the reason the score was that tight?

It's just lame that they waited until the 4th to call a holding penalty when it had been happening all game. Players play to the game that is being called. That said our defense was ass all game and especially the 2nd half so no one can blame the loss on that one call.

He said that? Appreciate the insight. That pretty much seals it. Im not willing to go into conspiracies of why he'd say that. That's too deep for me lol

Of course it was rigged, I should have been the one to get Rihanna pregnant!

All professional sports are a scam

Yes it's rigged, but they decided to change the winner last minute and rightfully so. Eagles suck. Look how close the actual score (38-35) is to the original score that was leaked (34-37)

No, just poorly officiated by the zebras to ensure a great game had a terrible anticlimactic ending.

Vegas would take anyone caught rigging sporting events, especially major ones, into the desert and leave them there in pieces. That or have them wishing they had when the lawyers were done. Fixing games is unsustainable at best.

they rigged the turf :(.

Refs were awful. They missed a blatant helmet to helmet by the Chiefs DB to start the game. Then, they had Greg Olsen carry their water when they missed a false start on the Eagles on a scoring drive (Olsen praised the guard/tackle as a quick stance break, but he was standing before the ball was even snapped). Then the next one I can remember is a few delay of game calls where the play clock read 00 for nearly a second.

the fact that Goodell thinks the refereeing has been better than ever is an absolute joke.

The penalty was ticky-tack and pretty silly. But like if they were gonna rig the game, they would have done a pretty bad job at it up until that point. Like the penalty put it away but the Chiefs still were strongly favored to win before it.

If they were rigging the game the Goddard catch would have been overturned when it was challenged and they would have let Bolton's second scoop and score stand. Those would be plays with giant implications that the refs could absolutely get away with siding in favor of the Chiefs. And they would actually have helped the Chiefs get back into the game which is what rigging should do.

No, the penalty was just lame reffing.
