You think the NFL likes New England? That's a laugh. Goodell is so hated in New England he is now actively avoiding Gillette stadium. He's going BACK to Atlanta for the NFCCG to continue avoiding Gillette, where he hasn't been in two years even though it's very close to NFL HQ.

The NFL wouldn't move an inch out of its way to accommodate the Patriots. I don't believe in conspiracy theories, so I don't think (unlike some Pats fans) that they put the thumb on the scales to **** them, but I definitely don't think they put the thumb on the scales to help them either.


Shit teams like the one that had the #1 seed in the NFC this year? How about the Dez Bryant catch/no catch?

The topic is that the NFL rigs games. There is massive evidence that they don't, which you ignore because it doesn't fit your theory. Sorry to interfere with your narrative.

Cowboys playoff years since they won the SB in 1995:

1996 -- 10-6 - one and done
1998 -- 10-6 - one and done
1999 -- 8-8 - one and done
2003 -- 10-6 - one and done
2006 -- 9-7 - one and done
2007 -- 13-3 - one and done
2009 -- 11-5 - one and done
2014 -- 12-4 - one and done
2016 -- 13-3 - one and done


The NFL sure seems pretty ****ing inept if they fix games but can't give the team with the LARGEST FANBASE IN THE NFL one lousy playoff win in 20 years.

Tuck rule is a shit rule (whcih is why it was repealed), but it was a rule. What's your point?

Just breakin' balls. LMAO

Fair 'nuf. :LOL:

They won playoff games in 2014, 2009 and 1996. Each of those years they won in the wild card round and lost in the divisional round.

Ah, I'm an idiot. Poorly done!

Ok, back to my original point -- can't even get the most popular team in the NFL (by largest fanbase) to the NFCCG much less the Super Bowl!!

(yeah, that)

The Cowboys are able to win wildcard playoff games? Jeez, the rich get richer. From our perspective, that's just a dream.

That's because it would be too obvious.

It's like Stone Cold being champion for 10 years straight

Still wanna disprove A by discussing B or C or etc...

I wonder what Mike Pereira would say about, IOW how he would weezle-out of the pics of all those calls that weren't called? Standard fare, "we can't see them all"?

Never ask an official about questionable officiating, they have each other's backs. He knows damn good and well his buddy was/is selective in his calls, and RE is too big of a pussy to show him the pics, and ask the question.

They call what they want to call, when they feel like it, based on some form of conscience and/or bias!

That's what's maddening, the league and it's system will ensure these ass-clowns will never have to answer more than softball questions.

WWE

Defend these no-calls then! Go ahead, hit us with the league's standard "we didn't see THOOOOSE", "They were away from the play", "There's a hold on every play." Which is it? THOSE are holding and DPI all day long. NOT called!

Enjoy your next SB win, I'm sure it's just thee weeks away.

#1, wrong... #2, drama.

The NFL is officially the WWE, they do what they need to do to sell tix and keep ratings up.

I hope Goodell contracts AIDS from the head of officiating so I can send them both a ****ing get well card showing Kelce jackin it!

The real problem is the only people they can't effectively silence on the national stage (team leaders), and one they really can't do shit about saying anything he wants (short of an irrelevant fine), won't be the voice of the Chiefs fan. The NFL will ensure no Chiefs fan gets to cross-examine the ****wad official and force him/them to explain the anomalies in what was called and what wasn't, but those other people have platforms they're choosing not to use. That's ****ed-up, and **** the organization for being cowards! They'll never get any true respect, just an appreciation pat on the back for being a good sport and letting the other teams fight it out for the big prize. Clark doesn't have to simply accept what most people will agree might be a hold, he has the platform to say, "before you tell me that's a hold, tell me why these weren't, then tell me Fisher's was a hold!" (then show the pics).

I'm probably wrong, but Clark impresses me as the man who would stand by and watch his wife get raped and do nothing.
