They could have called holding or PI on those INTS. There were plenty of ways to influence outcomes if that was the idea.
This is just personal bias of your own with no real way to substantiate.
The Seahawks now have a huge following after being a shit following in a small market for years. After being good in recent years their popularity has grown, it is a reaction to being good they didn't get calls because of the market they were in. While Green Bay has a huge following now their following didn't really grow national until the early 90's.
Bias and criminal behavior are different. We have already been through this. The NFL isn't going to risk FBI investigations over getting the Steelers into the SB because frankly it will be the highest rated TV show of the year with or without them.
Sorry man, but we will just agree to disagree. Read the article below about the NBA ref scandal. Leagues can subtlety manipulate games and outcomes using refs.
