And no one will convince me otherwise until they can explain to me how Adam Jones gets a penalty for going after Joey Porter in a Bengals huddle, and Porter gets no flag for being on the field, let alone in the Bengals huddle. If the refs didn't see Porter in the huddle or on the field, then they didn't see Jones go after him, right? I don't believe every game is fixed, but the NFL is influencing certain games so certain teams win to line their pockets, whether that is by assigning refs with certain tendencies, or outright telling certain refs who should win. Anyone who can't see that is blind. It only takes a few calls in certain critical moments. Then, the refs can throw meaningless flags to show the game was called "fair by looking at the overall number of penalties called against each team.
When Jones was flagged for PI should it not have been a no call due to incidental contact? Both players were looking back and going for the ball, were they not? I remember watching Jim Leonhard many years ago bowl a Bengals receiver over whilst they were both looking back. He got a pick and it was ruled clean due to incidental contact.
I also thought that I saw a pretty blatant intentional grounding no-call on Rodgers whilst he was being sacked - they then turned around and called it on Dalton when it looked like he was outside of the tackle box.
