    Just like last year, just like I have been saying about the Patriots, the refs control who wins and loses especially in December, how else is the NFL gonna keep majority of fan bases to keep watching till week 17, if u cant see this BS your crazy, it all started weeks ago with the Chargers game , we are way better team than the Chargers, then last week the Patriots for the first time ever were getting calls against them,its entertaining watching this crap but at least Im glad im not a slave to it like I use to be, this is why when fans seem like having a heart attack over their team loosing and u see the players on your team thats lost look like they could give a crap, I guess they know as well but they dont care at least they get paid millions , everyday fans ffel like crap because its a n escape from realty for most people. Open your eyes the NFL is so rigged it aint funny

    Yea your right. The NFL would much rather have the boring Lamar Jackson led Ravens in the playoffs over the 6 time super Bowl champion Steelers.. Right

    I agree with you whole-heartedly. However, this “ its the officials, it’s the west coast games, the ball was tipped” is getting out of hand. And it’s not just the team, it’s the fan base. Fighting in the stands, sucker-punching, pushing women.... our fan base is no better than the Raiders anymore. I’m out, I am no longer proud of this franchise, and what it used to stand for.

    As much as I want to disagree I can’t. I think the NFL, NBA. and MLB are all rigged in some way. Today we had a ton of calls go against us. We should of won that game.

    Speaking of stuff being rigged. Did anyone watch the Jermell Charlo fight last night. Dude easily won 10 of 12 rounds and lost a unanimous decision. I have no idea what fight the judges were watching. Boxing is the most corrupt sport there is though.

    Anything with this much money involved always has some sort of fishy dealings going on with it. It just does. That’s how people are.

    Its not rigged ,but the officials are definitely not consistent and seem to just be able to throw a flag at their own discretion with no repercussions ..
    Think back to the Raiders game,the officials and the Raiders basically tried to hand us that damn win..This season is all on us .

    With today's world of social media it would be next to impossible to fix pro sports and it not coming out to the public but I see terrible calls in sports all the time. It goes for and against your favorite teams. I'm just thankful for instant replay or there would be a lot of violence against refs for blowing games.

    A lot of bad calls went our way in the Seattle Super Bowl or we'd only have 5 rings.

    I don't really think its rigged but I do think the quality of the officials has sunk to record levels. Whether its due to diversity, inclusion, PC, or whatever, they are terrible. Sometimes when a flag is throw and the judge who threw the flag tries to explain to the referee, the look on his face is one of WTF but he has to go through with the call. The standards seem to have been lowered simply by the quality of their calls. IMO.

    When there are billions upon billions of dollars at risk you can bet your sweet fanny games are swayed one way or another.
