Parcells and Kraft were at odds until Belichick came aboard, then they went to a Super Bowl in Feb 1997 - Tom Brady was in high school. For the record. |

And the dumbest "they wouldn't risk it" comment ever. 1. People like Fish and LoneWolf who refuse to believe it ensure that the NFL can do whatever it wants, and there's a core contingent of people who will stay loyal to the brand. And 2. What major network or newspaper would dare do an expose on the cash cow? The NFL has major deals with ESPN/ABC/Time Warner, NBC, CBS, and FOX. Why would they want to do ANYTHING that may possibly detract viewers?? Remember - more ratings = more money. |

Here is Schein being the mouthpiece he is....https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl...owl/vp-BBMSVMo They implemented this EXACT manipulative method with the Raiders in 2016...Oakland hype came out of left field as they, too, hadn't won any meaningful games. They were all of a sudden SB favorites created out of thin air. The one common thread was they both were in play for a new stadium... Raiders went on to set an NFL record for 4th quarter comebacks in 2016...that was heavily aided by the officials. They are actually #2 on my all-time rigged game list...in Mexico vs. the Texans. Ref's short spotted the RB by a yard on two consecutive plays..and even when they challenged didn't give it them. It would have potentially put Houston up two scores late... They have won 6 games since...in two years. They got their stadium though....suckers. Last edited by BlackOp; 11-21-2018 at 12:55 AM.. |

This is a flawed poll. Are the refs out to "get us"? No they are not.
But to say they don't purposely swing a game a certain way from time to time is intellectually dishonest. You see it week in and week out in the NFL. Stars get breaks. Shit teams get shit on. Big market gets aided while small market gets ignored. I also noticed the Green Bay and Indy comment. How many superbowls have they won in the last 30 years? Yeah, they get shit on too, just not quite as bad. The refs may not control the game but they do influence certain outcomes. By influence, I mean they steer it a certain way. That doesn't mean a team can't overcome it. The Chiefs had their shot twice Monday night and blew it. But don't try to tell me those refs weren't steering the game. All that said, it was an incredible game and the Chiefs have proven they belong on the field with the best of the best. Now they just have to overcome and put themselves in that elite tier that gets the favorable calls. |

Coincidence? Then Peyton moved on to Denver and they get Andrew Luck. Green Bay is one of the NFL's original franchises and has an historical significance; they'll seemingly win one every 15/20 years or so, even with a HC as terrible as McCarthy (because, let's face it, GB could've won more if they had better coaching.)
