It's sports entertainment... Do I think KC will get the shaft this year....yes. It's already started with Bell's suspension being reduced by one game. |

How do they keep a secret like that? No way in hell they have kickers and player in their pocket. Brady wouldn't throw a game and Cam wouldn't either.

Who is going blow the whistle on their cash cow...and become famous doing something else? Who is going to cross the mob? Who wants to be labeled a cheater?.... media would destroy their lives. The NFL is the last in line as far as this profession. Not everyone is on the dole...just vetted players and most definitely the refs. How many times do you see...even after watching from multiple, slowed-down replay angles..make the wrong call? And the ex-ref in commentary booth disagree with it...NFL command center in NY has final say on calls. One central hub to dictate outcomes... Last edited by BlackOp; 08-20-2016 at 11:37 AM.. |

Bad or questionable calls change the ebb and flow of the game, and there's only so much you can do about it( apology letters, anyone? ). It's not about "tuck rule" moments anymore, it's a series of micro managements that effect a desired outcome. The league desires big names in its big moments, the Super Bowl being the biggest of all. Sure, you may get an underdog scenario out of sheer fate once in a while, but not as much as you used to. You will NEVER see another 85' Super Bowl again. It will not happen. |

Look back at the Detroit/Dallas play-off game. Lions were about to go up two scores late...and they picked up a flag on an obvious PI penalty. It would have essentially ended the game with a FG. They proceeded to barrage the lions with multiple PI penalties which immediately got Dallas into scoring range. That was the most blatant example I've seen... Pass interference should be a challengeable penalty...but never will. It's too valuable of a "judgment" tool....and can swing games late. Last edited by BlackOp; 08-20-2016 at 11:29 AM.. |
