    You're just upset. The Steelers are not a good team. The AFC west owns us.

    Rigged why? The Steelers are one of the gems of the NFL. The false start that was missed was an atrocious call, it happens. Everything else was a judgement call

    I believe, and have always believed, that the NFL uses officiating to keep games close.

    You're right I'm upset. The Steelers are good team. Above average but the stripes made sure the average Bolts win tonight.

    Then can somebody please explain to me why the NFL would want the Pats to keep winning if it is in fact rigged?

    The NFL isn't rigged. However, I believe refs can and do influence games and point spreads in close games.

    I will stop watching the NFL if there is any real evidence that the league is rigged or fake like the WWE.

    It is a bit suspicious that both LA teams are winning now though. The league wants that market to produce cash flow.

    How does that make any sense? They make money no matter the team. And if the same team keeps appearing, they lose viewers, less $$$

    Bought and paid for Refs. They don't care where it comes from.

    It's rigged in that controversy keeps people talking and helps ratings. After all, there's no such thing as bad PR.

    So you don't think there are more Patriot fans then there were 15 years ago? Not many Brady jerseys sold huh? Doesn't take into account those who want to watch them lose....its good to also have a villan .

    Bad calls for sure. Don’t think it’s fixed though. Good teams overcome bad calls not completely **** all overthemselves for an entire half at home in December.

    I don't think the NFL is rigged. I do think who they are getting to officiate the games has drastically deteriorated in quality. Seems like anyone who wants to be on a NFL officiating crew member can be on one.
