We as Bengals fans have often complained of having to beat the other team and the refs (Stools) so yeah..
We are complaining about the game being fixed in certain cases.
I wouldn't expect the same results vs. say the Jags for example.
I can't say I'm 100% of the opinion that the league is fixed, but I'm leaning that way. Like you say, I don't believe players or coaches are in on it. Just believe the officials favor certain teams at key moments and on game changing plays. If the Bengals play the Jags or Lions, I believe the officials will call the game normally. I also believe that if the Steelers play say...the Packers, it will also be officiated normally.
Now if the Bengals play the Steelers or the Lions play the Cowboys, the key calls are going to be slanted towards the marquee team.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
