The defense was rigged to pay off the refs because Jimmy Hoffa put a shit-ton of money on the Jets this game and he's got a "hell of a mortgage". ![[Image: 4CV0TeR.png]](https://i.imgur.com/4CV0TeR.png) "The measure of a man's intelligence can be seen in the length of his argument."

God damn it makes me mad. You've been listening to Lapham too much. Vikings scored 24 in the opener.

He compared the NFL to WWE..It's just entertainment which is 100% truth. When teams win or lose, it doesn't matter..Nobody will come to your house at midnight to evict you and leave you penniless. Nobody gets locked up to rot in penal colonies their entire lives on NFL games.. You gain exactly the same thing if you root for teams that win constantly as you get rooting for teams that lose every game....nothing. You might get a thrill when they win or disappointed when they lose.. So what? Go to Kings Island..Ride the rides. Some are boring and disappointing, some are thrilling. Either way you pay the same to get in because it's ENTERTAINMENT ..nothing more, nothing less. I think this entire post was created just so you could type "penal".

And I guarantee you if any game were rigged, bookies would find out, and there would a shit-ton of money bet on the game.

Sure, I can explain that. All of those teams were really good. The end. “The NFL is rigged” is not a conversation for adults.

Patriots--9/11 happened in New York. Better story would have been the New York Jets winning the SB. They finished 10-6, lost in the playoffs and beat the Patriots earlier in the year. Saints won the SB 4 years after Katrina. Broncos had the #1 defense in the NFL and were considered on par with the '85 Bears, '00 Ravens and '02 Buccaneers. If they wanted it to be for Manning, why did he suck so hard? Ravens--Flacco had a ridiculous playoff run. 11 TDs to 0 Ints. Had nothing to do with Lewis. He missed most of the season with an injury.

If the NFL was rigged the major media markets would be dominate, Chicago, LA and New York. None of those cities have a dominate team across the past decade. The Rams look great now I know.
But look at a team in our own division that was always in the playoffs in shitsburgh. Do you really think in the NFL was rigged that is the city they'd want as a flag ship city? Same can be said about Green Bay. Literally a tiny little place but not a place that would be a top tier market if they could pick. The Giants, Jets, Chargers, Bears, Rams Cowboys and Dolphins would be darlings if the league could pick. ![[Image: bengals08-1-800small.jpg]](https://i.ibb.co/MRz4cC9/bengals08-1-800small.jpg)

While I wouldn't call the NFL rigged per se, it would not surprise me in the least to find out referees are told to call certain games certain ways to give an advantage to certain teams. Elsewise, why are some games called so closely they seem to be a flag show, while in other games they "let them play" Why are some teams allowed to hold all day without penalty (looking at you shitsburgh) After all, it's one rule book, right? It's be pretty easy for the league office to call down to the refs getting ready to start a game and say "call it close" or "let them play" or watch out for certain things from certain teams, while maintaining their innocence in trying to rig games. It would not be as hard as people think, no one has to be in on it except for the league office and the officials, who I am sure sign non-disclosure agreements when they come into the league.

They finished 10-6, lost in the playoffs and beat the Patriots earlier in the year. Fixed it for you. Buffalo would have won if they wanted the only New York team to win it.  Flacco had a ridiculous playoff run because Anquan Boldin decided he was a grown man and he wanted to win more than anyone else on the field. Flacco's best pass then was just throwing up 50/50 jump balls that Boldin just turned into 100/0 balls. It was insane. 22/380/4 in the 2012 playoffs. I have been a big Boldin fan ever since he played with a broken face. ____________________________________________________________

I don't think it is rigged, but there have been some fishy calls throughout the years (as we know). This could either mean that things may be a bit stacked in favour of specific teams (which should have the officials weeded out and removed) or the officials are simply incompetent (which should have the officials removed lol).
Not sure if it has been mentioned in the thread, but many on Twitter have posted that the LJ that threw the flag, when he is an official in the Jets games the past 2 seasons, they are 3-0. When he isn't, the Jets are 1-19. Absolutely not saying it's rigged because of that record, but it makes you think... EDIT*: yes, this was brought up. ![[Image: Truck_1_0_1_.png]](https://card.psnprofiles.com/2/Truck_1_0_1_.png)

I'm still, all these years later, waiting on someone to explain to me how one team (who has a significant Nationwide following) has an assistant coach come onto the field and start shit in their opponents huddle during a playoff game, and the other team gets flagged for responding to it. I mean, WTF? If there was never anything else to make me think the NFL wants certain teams with large draws in the playoffs, this one would still make me wonder.
