Rigged for us (and GB)

[renofox]

Rigged, NO.
Steered, YES.

Sometimes, teams play so much better than their opponent that steering does not achieve the desired result.

The Lions outplayed the Packers enough to overcome.

 

[Hawkpower]

the NFL is rigging it so the packers get in they said.

How is that narrative aging? Especially considering how the NFL called some penalties in our favor today.

Have you just considered that sometimes these refs are just incompetent?

Now the Seahawks are in the playoffs over the Packers because the Lions did us a solid.

The NFL is not rigged, not every call against the Seahawks is a slight.

Feel better?

Not sure this is a crusade that needs to be tackled tonight.

Most of us know its not really rigged, even though it feels that way in times of frustration

Damn straight I do, you should feel great as well.

He is just a disgruntled junior league ref. Doesn't like anyone picking on his buddies.

It deserves to be called out. The NFL is not rigged. People piled up on me and others that questioned that narrative. Now it’s time to put that line of thought to bed

How does this put it to bed? It's possible that certain games are steered. It's also possible people got it wrong about the NFL wanting the Packers in. The fact that people got that specific steering narrative wrong doesn't prove a thing in either direction.

Sometimes, but that certainly wasn't the case tonight. The Packers were leading the game until under 6 minutes remaining in the 4th quarter. It was a very close 4 point game in the end. It wouldn't have taken much to steer such a close game in the Packers favor. But that didn't happen. Because it obviously wasn't steered.

so you are saying the league still risks steering games and destroying the integrity of a legal monopoly cash generating juggernaut even though this alleged steering to create better ratings doesn’t actually work all of the time.
got it.

No. That isn't what I'm saying.

got it.

The NFL itself doesn't steer games, they do steer matchups and schedule etc, but individual REFS certainty do in almost every game based on what they call or not call when they can get away with it. NOT just against the HAWKS!

Sometimes they cant, doesn't mean they aren't trying. If you don't believe that these guys don't have personal biases to certain teams or live in certain city's or have proxies with money on the spread you cant possibly be watching all the goings on in society.

Pretty lame response. Obviously you know I am right and have nothing to say. But actually I don't want to debate you any more you live in lala land.

The league is predicated by a Script.

The Script can be amended throughout the season, but the purpose of the Script is to generate the highest ratings, highest interest, resulting in increased profits.

The NFL doesn't have to pay taxes. Billionaire owners force local tax payers to pay for billion dollar stadiums.

The entire machine is corrupt and is intended only to generate more money for the owners. Sheep like us have shelled out money for years, lining their pockets.

The Script currently has the Bills as Superbowl winners.

The Script had the Patriots win after 9/11. The Script had the Saints win shortly after Katrina. The Script had Bettis go out on top by spoon feeding XL to the Stealers.

The referees are the ones paid to make sure the Script stays on track. The amount of control an NFL ref has is astounding. A team can sack a QB to force 4th and 20, and it can all get wiped out by an illegal contact call for an automatic 1st down. A large play on offense can be wiped away by a phantom holding call (ie SB XL multiple times).

It is our duty to resist the machine and destroy the concept of the Script.

Let's Fly

So why did Brees not win his last yr? Or Montana? Or countless other stars? You are cherry picking. I am shocked Mods are allowing this boring and tired agenda

The Mods can't silence the Truth.

It's easy to cherry pick the Script. That's because the Script cannot be recognized. The Writers in their infinite creative wisdom always keep the viewers on their toes.

The sooner we recognize the power of the Script and the Architects behind it, the sooner we can shed the pain that comes with it

 

[SoulfishHawk]

So if this was "rigged" and "scripted" etc. Why did Detroit win last night?

Go Hawks?
Playoff Bound!!!!!

It's raining outside. The NFL HATES US!!!!!! WE'RE THE VICTIMS!!! IT'S A CONSPIRACY!!

Relax, it's a joke

This is the refuge of all conspiracists. You can't disprove it. Do individual refs have a bias agaisnt a player or team? And does that influence how they call the game? Yes, they are all human beings. Are they being instructed by the league or the "gambling consortium" to steer a game one way or another for a desired outcome? No. Are there one offs like the Chicago Black Sox? Yes. But it is not business as usual.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Again, IF...THE...LEAGUE...WANTED...GB...IN...THE...PLAYOFFS........WHY...DID...DETROIT...WIN?

 

[cymatica]

This is the refuge of all conspiracists. You can't disprove it.

No that wasn't my point at all. I responded to people claiming it's put to rest because Green bay lost. Wasn't making a claim at all, I was only saying it's not put to rest simply because people were wrong about Greenbay.

Let's assume games are steered, but that the league never planned on Greenbay in the playoffs. Is it put to rest because people got the narrative wrong? No, nothing was put to rest or proven on either side, whether there is steering or not

 

[cymatica]

So if this was "rigged" and "scripted" etc. Why did Detroit win last night?

Go Hawks?
Playoff Bound!!!!!

Because people in internet forums got the script wrong.

Let the conspiracy continue on......
