It's Not That the Games are Fixed...

Color Red · 02-08-2006, 09:32 PM

It's not that NFL games are fixed, or that refs are intentionally calling plays to favor one side or another. That's not the problem. That's not happening.

The problem --and the frustration is, that officiating is tainted with a great potential for ineptness that may be momentary or even longer lasting. That is frustrating, because you can go as far as the Seahawks did this past season, and still fall victim to the short coming of unfortunate referee-ing.

It's not that the refs are on the other teams' side. But in a highly competitive game against a strong opponent, bad calls on critical plays can be too much for a team to overcome. Particularly in the highly volatile, momentum-swinging single game tournament that is the Super Bowl.

I'd be frustrated if I was a Seahawk fan.

Its all rigged!! Should be called NFE instead of NFL. National Football Entertainment-multi billion dollar company. Listed on the NYSE.

Doesn't matter, the Chiefs are still going to kick some ass next year. Shitty Refs or not, we take the division next year!

If I was a Seahawk fan I'd feel blessed they made it that far... their weak ass schedule helped their 13-3 season. Shit they were practically handed 8 wins before the season even started.

I agree with you 100%, i dont feel sorry for the seahawks at all. they play the easiest schedule in the world, thats the only reason alexander won the rushing title/owns the td record. he'd be screwed if he went anywhere other than seatle because hed have to play against better teams most of the year.

They did have a weakass schedule. But every NFC team had a weak schedule besides the four games they play against the AFC.
