Did anyone see the rigged Colts vs Browns game?<

[Welshers2]

I'm not kidding it was one of the worst officiated games ever. Refs handed it to cleavland

 

[hgwellz12]

Didn't see it but don't doubt it. Refs have been on some bullshit this season.

 

[LastRideOut]

Why I think the NFL getting cozy with Vegas and gambling was never a good idea.

Now there is some doubt as to the integrity of the games.

I mentioned it somewhat there.. Its comerning (the poor officiating) and definitely has me at least questioning the integrity of “the game”

That makes 2 weeks in a row. I see Quiefs got the benefit of no calls again.

It was infukingsane the Colts/Browns game, and how things got steered at the end.

Even before gambling got so officially involved, I'd say there's way too much money involved for all the refs to be squeaky clean. Now, there's dump trucks of money involved and there's no logical way to believe a lot of refs aren't dirty.

Careful, you might trigger people into asking you why you even bother watching

Sports entertainment...entertainment being the key word. They are showing a celeb who is at the game on TV more than the actual players on the field now..

So Minshew’s INT and 3 fumbles didn’t have anything to do with them losing…rigged I say

Why ignore the fact that it the officiating was next level incompetentence? Minshew can suck and the officials be bad at the same time. This game was so bad that it's getting some national traction. I don't even care about the colts but that was bizzare man

Bad officiating is happening all over the NFL, turning into WWE

This was my thought also.

There is no integrity to this game; hence, why the NFL is classified legally as sport entertainment, rather than a sport.

Weird, given how the league has generally treated the Browns.

 

[evergreen]

Yeah that probably had something to do with it. Still the timing of the bad calls is the main thing. Stuff happening in the middle of the game doesn't stand out the way high leverage calls at the end do.

 

[keasley45]

Great thing about the Browns getting the benefit of the zebras as their 12th man last week is that the league will be sure to 'make up' for the error in some way shape or form. And we stand to be the beneficiary.

I'd bet you dollars to donuts that they get called a ton for penalties this week and we get off fairly lightly.

 

[49fansinceBrodie]

I saw it. It was rigged when the Browns got some favorable calls late in the game to pull off the win. It was not rigged when the Browns got favorable calls late in the game to beat the 49ers (although, the 49ers got some beneficial calls earlier in the game).

 

[AROS]

I love that Irsay called the league out in social media for contacting him and agreeing about the bad calls. A big no-no for owners to do. To bad NFL, we see you.

I think it's better that the NFL is at least transparent about gambling. If sports gambling was illegal or the NFL's official stance was to be against it, the threat of gambling's influence on the game is in no way minimized.

 

[evergreen]

I fi was a betting man, I'd bet that gambling has something to do with it.
