Money talks, and the league has plenty of it.

Ya they are just paying off everyone. Completely logical.

That's called "rigged."

Wow...the Panthers got the shaft in this game.

There were 4 plays that the refs used to control the outcome...#1. Ruling the 1st quarter catch was incomplete...kept Carolina from gaining momentum early. The officiating commentary even said, live, it would be overturned...that is was a catch. #2. They picked up a defensive penalty with no explanation on a 3rd down play...which killed a drive deep in Broncos territory. #3. They ignored Talib's offsides..which would have forced a rekick. #4 Ignored an obvious PI call on another 3rd down play deep in Denver territory.

Denver was not flagged in the 2nd half.

Carolina seemed to be consistently pissed at the officiating...Denver never had to break a sweat.

I think the NFL really crossed the line with the "Manning retiring a champion" story...everyone who isnt a Bronco fan..is seeing straight through the bogus, manufactured horseshit. He was terrible all year... It also happened, on horrible officiating, that Bettis retired a champ...the lights went out on SF...Lewis retires a champion.

Just stop... The NFL didn't help Carolina, but it wasn't rigged. This one is 100% on Carolina playing flat and Cam thinking he was as good as he thinks..

yeah, a 15-1 team just forgot how to play the game theyve all played since high school

No, it's not. Rigged would ensure a certain team won each game. That's not the case.

I wonder how much the league paid each member of the Panthers to take a dive.

:hmmm:

The matchup is set, the ads are sold...exactly what incentive is there for the NFL to fix the game for Peyton?
He's on his way out. There's probably more incentive to give the win to the new superstar QB.

Denver's defense was awesome and Carolina choked every time they had an opportunity.

I don't call that rigged, I call that football.

You really think the refs call fair games for both teams? Give me a ****ing break. You're either blind or in denial.

what they get paid in all their contracts. Its already millions

Denver with zero flags the entire second half. Had an off sides and a pass interference for sure that as not called. Classic set up.

Too many energy drinks.

You really think every call goes against a certain team? You are dumb as ****.

Or a 15-1 NFC team just got exposed.
