Is it possible that an individual ref could be bought off? Yers. and no matter how you change the system that will still be true.
Is the NFL in on any fix? No way. And the reason is that they have no need to be in on any fix. they are making tons of money even if the game is not fixed, so there is no way they all (and they would all have to be in on it) are fixing games.
As for Goodell's record on discipline I agree it has been a mess, But Burfict is far from a first time offender. And that game was not a normal game. before it even started the league was dealing with accusations that they had let the previous Bengal/Steeler game get out of hand.
PLus it was a dirty hit by Burfict. I was extremely upset that Shazier was not called for a penalty on his hit on Gio, but I could not complain about the hit by Burfict. He dipped his shoulder for the hit after it was clear that Brown could not make the catch. A player can't do that anymore.
