I've given this analogy a couple times before and maybe it doesn't make as much sense to others as it does me but here goes:

I don't think for a second the NFL is outright rigged, there's to many people involved, to many sponsors, on and on, however.

Do you think Tony Gwynn and Joe Schmoe just up from the minors had the same strike zone ? Pete Rose and rookie X ? Kirby Puckett and Bench player C ?

I guarantee they didn't ! The great hitters get respect it's human nature. Joe Blow off the bench gets rung the hell up - STRIKE 3, you're out. Until the Bengals earn some respect by overcoming and winning we're going to stay Joe Blow of the bench. And for that matter all the other loser teams. We have to go up there swinging and change the narrative. 

The Steelers, Patriots, Saints, and so on get the slight little benefit of the doubt that we don't. It's not the refs that beat us, we beat ourselves.
