Do you think the NFL is "rigged?"
Pretty simple question: Do you think the NFL is "rigged?"

Specifically, do you believe the NFL has a preferred outcome for games AND orders its officiating crews to make calls for/against teams for the purpose of achieving that preferred outcome?

I think its clear that the nfl sees trends happening for specific teams and you see those sane officiating crews in a poorly officiated game change their behavior in their mercy game. The calls that they should have called previously gets called in the next game but it doesn't affect the sane behavior from the team that commuted those offenses that were questionable. Thus Denver running pick plays, the same ref crew yesterday called two of them.

Somewhat, yes.

It's not COMPLETELY rigged, but there is obvious bias and preference to push the games in certain directions, ala the NBA (but not as bad).

if you mean rigged like WWE then no.

If you mean there have been several instances where NFL officials deceived the public, yes.

If you mean the NFL rigged the game for the masses who don't know the diff between a tough win & a shootout, yes.

If you mean the NFL rigged the game for FFL stat fruitcakes & a bunch more vegas action, yes.

And if you notice....it's bullshit penalties after they have the game in hand. It's never huge penalties that result in the other team getting points.

If there was a directive from the office, the league would fold. Any person that ever bought a ticket or paid for Sunday ticket would be able to sue for their money back

Exactly this...

Name one time this year that Denver had a game changing penalty on a big play....

Yet game after game, once they are comfortably ahead, then do we start seeing holding calls, but not when it matters.

It will get out at some point, the league will make a mistake that causes some fall out.

You're dodging the question. Bias from who? Preference from who?
The question is whether the NFL orders the refs to make calls to influence the game outcome.

I'm sure the NFL has a preference who is in the playoffs and SB because they know some teams will pull bigger ratings. But I can't see that the refs would care. So it comes back to whether the NFL is telling the refs to try to alter the game outcome.
