teams are usually successful like that before or after hosting a super bowl.

But they've never really been GOOD.

Matt Schaub, TJ Yates, and Brian Hoyer?? . That's like saying Matt Cassel was a 'playoff caliber qb'. I mean, yes, he kind of quarterbacked a team to a playoff berth, but...

I mean, I get what you're saying - Houston gets associated with the playoff berths, the fans are placated, everyone gets paid (except the fans) and Houston is still a speed bump for real teams.

I'm sure if they listed details about every rigged game from the league's inception, they would have a multi-volume set that would be ongoing...

But the Panthers and Jaguars both made the playoffs in their 2nd year of existence; Carolina was in the NFC Championship game that year, which begs to question :

When is the next Super Bowl at Reliant

Goddamn, how much does the league hate Cleveland?

This how the NFL gets away with having unregulated officials...and the very core of controlling outcomes/point spreads. MLB, NHL, NBA...all have regulated, professional full-time officials. The NFL has recently gone a step further...routing all contested calls to a centralized "NFL Command Center" in NY.

Your first part is irrelevant to the NFL.
The second part is just made-up nonsense.

See post #427 - are you reading this thread, or just making random posts??

All made-up nonsense.
Rabbledipshit is someone who will bitch and bitch after Chiefs games about Andy's playcallng and such. Seems odd to bitch about a coaches choices while simultaneously thinking the game was fixed in the first place.

For the tinfoilers who think the NFL is rigged - Why watch? Why are you on an NFL message board? Why care at all, if this is no different than the WWE?

they dont hate Cleveland. Cleveland went to finals/playoffs plenty between the late 40s to/through the 60s.Thats the trade off.

its a little more professional looking than WWE lol.
I like sports history and sports helmets and uniforms and collectibles.
they are a representation of American history and an excuse to get together with the guys. The art and history of football helmets is fascinating to me.
I get to join pools and freak people out picking teams no one else does and be right more often.

Why would a team even bother with signals and audibles and game plans if the outcome is already fixed?

I would certainly admit that it is entirely possible -- indeed perhaps likely -- that SOME games have been thrown, or fixed, or what have you. The Black Sox scandal certainly happened, and the BC college hoops point shaving scandal. I'm not ignorant of these events. Far from it, having read books on both.

After a while, these idiots start to conflate a rogue athlete or ref on the take vs the league, through a combination of refs, coaches, and players, fixing the whole thing. There's a huge difference.

Look, sometimes I think your trolling is funny. But 'the NFL is rigged' is just stupid. I'm pretty sure even rabbleracist doesn't really believe this shit.
