I don't even know anymore...
Come on, they throw this shyt in our face every so often, and most refuse to acknowledge it. Remember the Seattle Screwjob (my name...most ppl call it the Fail Mary)? Happened early in the season, so big deal right? Remember how it ended up being the turning point in the referee holdout? Yeah, that's not fishy...
Fast forward to the end of the year, and we're 11-5 instead of 12-4, Niners are 11-4-1, so we have to play them at their place instead of Lambeau, we lose and SF goes on to the Super Bowl. You remember that Super Bowl, right? The one where there was an "overload" that blew the lights in the Superdome? Yeah, fun stuff...
I mean, think about it: they were EXTRA blatant with it, and everyone just blew it off like it was nothing. Now think of all the subtle shyt they've probably been doing over the years that noone actually wants to notice. If you go in with an open mind, it's hard not to be jaded by the NFL. The problem is it's difficult to get to that point (open mind) because they've been basically conditioning us for years. The Seattle Screwjob did it for me, and I've never looked at the League the same.

Fukk your corny debates
The only NFL playoff game I recall that seemed to be BLATANTLY fixed was the 05 SB between the Seahawks and the Steelers.
The refs weren't even trying to hide that they were going to do everything in their power to assist the Steelers. It was on the level of the Mavs-Heat finals and game 6 of the Lakers and Kings.

Right. No different than corporate America where a CEO runs a company into the fukkin ground, yet fall forward into another, often times better gig. Sports is no different. Unless you're a complete a$$hole and nobody wants to fukk with you, you can stink up the junt as a coach, yet somebody's gonna hire you.

NOPE
I don't fukk with sports on tv. That shyt is a distraction and wastes my fukking time. If im out, i go to a game and have a beer and look at bytches. To each his own. The only sport I watch is MMA, and boxing.

Duly noted. To each his own bro.

No, but once we stopped doing dumb shyt and we were driving, there was a very obvious horse collar tackle on Freeman about 5 yards behind the line of scrimmage. The ref behind the play in direct line of sight of the play threw the flag. The ref that was on the defensive side of the LOS then came over and told him to pick it up. On the same drive, Ryan scrambled downfield and was hit after he slid and was on the ground and there was no flag thrown for unnecessary roughness. The refs really didn't give a fukk.

That nikka
I been telling nikkas this!!! This is why i dont fukk with sports!....or politics ...
Yep...Same thing I said.
All these new rules make it easier for refs to manipulate the momentum & control the outcome of games.
One of the plays that bugs me the most is when the QB gets sacked almost immediately/instantaneously on a blitz and they call PI/defensive holding on a CB.
It's such a fukking bailout call.QB got sacked right as the ball got there..couldn't even set his feet before eating the turf-----the fukk a CB gotta do with that?
Yep, it's those type of calls especially on critical drives. 3rd down plays is when it occurs most. Greenbay gets so much help it's crazy. If you are stopping them and playing physical D the refs will back you off with illegal contact, PI type of calls. Destroys your teams mindset and game plan and you get ran through. They do tons of holding and rarely called for it.
The game that changed me was a Detroit vs Greenbay game with Favre and Samkon Gado. Detroit was winning/tied and in control of the game. The play would've pretty much sealed a win for the Lions. A first time win for Detroit in Greenbay since the 90s. Packers were backed up against their goal line. Gado was hit in the backfield in the endzone on a stretch play. He fumbled the ball forward in an effort not to get a safety because his progress had been stopped.
Detroit recovered the ball and scored a td basically putting the game out of reach.
Instead, the refs removed the td and or safety from intentional grounding, a holding call that still should have made the play a safety, fumble recovery and fumble itself. Changed it to a "forward pass" that landed incomplete so Greenbay could have a chance to win later in the game.

"the NFL is privately owned and operated. They can legally fix or rig any game they want to to create consumer interest, create "match-ups" that will generate more revenue than others, and to peak ratings for network profits. By using their own employees (players, coaches, refs, etc), they can legally create a "suspenseful" game with a "controversial" outcome, just like Hollywood movie companies do! That's why there's anti-trust exemptions in every single personnel contract, to prevent legal backlash. The players are there to play their respected position. But at anytime, the league can create drama or interfere with any operation to achieve a desired result.
Argue about it all you want, deny it all you want, scream for "proof" all you want....but it's the reality of the NFL being ENTERTAINMENT, and keeping you "rooting for your team" (teenage high school girls do that nonsense). The proof is you watching, the proof is you buying, the proof is you arguing over frivolous stats, rings, playoff appearances, trophies, cheaters, PED's, and all that other bullshyt that doesn't mean a damn thing in real life. It's all a show organized to keep mindless people entertained for 3 hours, and to keep you watching every Sunday....Monday....Thursday....and even some Saturdays!
At the end of the day, the only real stat that matters is the NFL walking away every single day with BILLIONS of your dollars in their pockets! There's absolutely nothing me, you, or anyone else can do about it except turn it off, or stop buying/watching/consuming the NFL product. It's 100% completely legal!"

I see exactly what you saying. Once you take it for the entertainment it is, you treat it as such.
