It’s really pathetic how how they control the games through officiating. How drives are either stopped are continued through very questionable calls every week. You expect to see it every game..

It’s like watching an Alabama game over and over and over every week only we’re on the wrong side of the refs

That’s not the situation where they control it..

It’s usually on a crucial third down play.

If you don’t think they don’t control games, you’re easily fooled.. Too much money involved.. My dad said it back in the 70s about officiating controlling games..

The nfc championship was the final straw. That game truly broke my fandom. Still watch every week, but i just do not have the same passion.

Well look at that, a holding call to negate the first down…

They can basically call holding on every play, but they’ll pick and choose when to throw it.

There’s that 3rd down penalty we know will happen every time the league wants it to.

It’s easier to fool people than convince them they’ve been fooled.

No, but they killed the first drive with a holding call. And they just called the latest drive with a holding call on a third-and-2 up the middle that got 3 yards. That's as ticky-tack as it gets because there's probably holding on every play like that.

Of course, there's holding on every play.

so bet on the games and make a fortune if it's so obvious.

but you won't, because it's not

BTW we have had the best division road record in NFL history recently which doesn't really mesh with this thread

I quit watching. If I want to watch “sports” with predetermined outcomes, I’ll just watch wrassling. At least they don’t try to hide the fact that it’s strictly entertainment. I’ll stick to college football, where other than the SEC being run by Gumps, it’s still generally an outcome in doubt in most every game.

The NFL wants the Carolina Panthers to win really badly.


That’s what you are going with?
