Directly affecting the game equals fixing the game. They aren't making mistakes. They are doing exactly as told to. It's as simple as that. Someone above said, "they're just really bad at their job. Lol years of training and 10 to 20 years of employment means they are doing exactly what the nfl wants or they'd be gone. It doesn't compare to you running a 7-11. Multi billion industries don't make mistakes.Not like that. |

Carlos and BlackOp jerk each other off wearing their tinfoil hats while watching conspiracy theory shows.

I 100% think they do their best to keep games competitive though. So rigged might be strong but you best believe they don't want halftime scores that are 31-7.

By keeping a team in the game, you are artificially helping them to win. That equals fixing, no matter how you slice it.

It wasn't taking off a TD bad though ...as KC punted the next play and a penalty followed. It cost them 30 yards of field position...so dont pretend it removed points they had already made. It was a really bad call...but was more about protecting their Goldenboy. Hoyer/Stidman weren't going to win that game...or magically gain momentum. They had scored 3 points through 3 quarters. I noticed you conveniently vanished when I predicted the Raiders would win in their opener against the Saints...and there would be lop-sided officiating to ensure it. ****ing hypocrite...never seen anyone get so bent out of shape over someone calling the NFL out on their horseshit...is Goodell an ex-lover or something? Truth is YOU need to feel intelligent...that's why you always follow me around in these types of threads. You'll never change my observations on this topic...and for what ever reason think if you get enough people to thumbs up your take...you've accomplished something. I really dont care...you are always talking bullshit to someone. Also...a fair amount of their season tickets were bought by corporations, casinos and people wanting to turn a buck on the resale to visitors. It's Vegas in the fall/winter...convention season. Don't pretend there was a mad dash by the locals to support the Raiders...and dont pretend if they suck, people will still be interested in watching them. The Raiders are like a Cirque du Soleil show...something do while you are in Vegas. It gives opposing fans a reason to go there... Last edited by BlackOp; 10-21-2020 at 09:15 PM.. |

I agree that some games are manipulated, but I don’t really buy that playoff teams are pre-planned, outcomes plotted, etc. I think it’s generally just an attempt to maintain a TV audience. Or, naturally, the Jordan treatment that stars in any league tend to have. There appeared to be a pretty clear attempt to prevent a KC blowout in the first half vs Houston last year, Pittsburgh the year before, and the Raiders this year. But in all three cases, the officiating evened out after the score was tied or close. I don’t think they necessarily cared who won the games as long as ratings were preserved. There is plenty of evidence to support that this happens. Not much evidence to support the theory that the NFL steers the regular season and postseason toward the most profitable outcomes. If this were happening, why would the smallest market have one of the most successful teams in history (Packers)? How was Buffalo allowed to dominate the AFC for years? The city of LA has what, one SB win almost 40 years ago? How has Pittsburgh been one of the most successful franchises? Why did it take so long for Philly to break through? Why haven’t the Bears won anything in the last 35 years? Why don’t the Jets ever win? |

What happened before Raiders left? Warriors went to multiple finals and San Jose Sharks went deep in playoffs and SF went to SB. That cushions the blowback. Rams leave LA and Lakers go to 17 finals between between like 1979 and now. Nice way to make up for lost nfl money. It's not just nfl, 1 plus 1. There's more variables for billion dollar industries. Missouri- nothing for decades and then boom 2014_15, 2 series for royals, 2018 Blues win Stanley and Chief's win SB. All happens right around the time they lose the Rams. Coincidence, my ass. |
