That said, if we had safety help on Chase, we likely are bitching about the officials after a win.

No way should the game have been decided by the refs imo. Oh well on to the next one

But easy enough to be handled by part-timers. Just sayin...

smithandrew051 01-02-2022 08:52 PM

Whether the refs are bad by design or they’re just bad at their jobs doesn’t really matter. The result is the same, and we’ll all keep watching.

Give it a few days and we’ll be ready to get hurt again.

not a false start, and neither was Burrow's that got KC an offsides flag instead

Wait, what?

Oh I get it, that fell under the "at that moment we decided to let them play" heading...

I wouldn’t say the NFL ‘rigs games’, per say.

I would say there was a LOT of questionable officiating at the end of that game (all which seemed to work in the Bengals favor) and also the ‘hold’ on the Pringle return that had nothing to do with the play. Yeah, it was technically a hold, but you could call a hold like that literally on every play. The refs usually swallow their whistle their and this time they chose not to and I honestly believe it was because they were trying to keep the game ‘close’ going into the second half. NFL didn’t want a blowout in the first half, which is what it would have been had that TD counted.

So ‘rigged’ ? No. Outcome ‘influenced’ heavily by officials? Most definitely.

One team is allowed do over after do over when they don’t convert and the other gets a bogus holding call that puts them in a very difficult 3rd and long situation. We scored 3 points in the second half in large part because our possessions were limited due to one sided officiating extending the bengals drives.

I don’t believe in things being rigged but there’s no question that one sided officiating swung the momentum of that game.

GloryDayz 01-02-2022 09:06 PM

I think there's a substantive difference between rigging a game and influencing the outcome of a game. I think the NFL (the corporation) does what it can do, subtly, to increase profits.

I don't think that's entirely true.

If the NFL tells the refs to crack down on shenanigans during the SB because they don't want the same chippy stuff as the AFCCG, and the refs completely botch their instructions.... I would certainly say the NFL influenced the game, but wouldn't necessarily say they rigged the game. Of course, if they handed down those instructions with any intention of changing the outcome of the game, then it's influencing and rigging.

And that's what most of the debate comes down to.... those who think it's a relatively wide spread effort with refs -- and some even say players -- versus a situation like I mentioned.

And 99% of the time, questions about how the NFL keeps it all a secret and so forth are completely ignored by those who believe it.... and the other 1% it's vague bullshit that never really answers anything.

No it's not. Influence still gives the one side a chance, but it's an uphill battle. You know, not calling penalties on the favored team vs calling them on the other team. Rigged is straight-out rigged.

And that's where the power in the "subjective" calls ("there's a hold on every play:....) is provided to officials to influence games.

If you pay attention close enough, you can see early on which games they are trying to push a certain direction. Usually it starts with little things like bad spots that are about about a yard off each time and almost always in one team’s favor.

If anyone is naïve enough to think the NFL isn’t influencing some of these games on purpose, they need to have their head examined.

Reid mentioned in his presser the Pringle kickoff return TD that was called back due to a penalty. He didn’t say whether or not he thought it was a bad call, but it seemed like he was implying that it was. I didn’t catch the replay on that. Did it look like a bad call or was it fairly obvious holding?

If anything bothers me, it's probably that. For a group of people who publicly stand in judgment of players, it would be nice to know that these crews are being evaluated. I'm sure they are, but for all we know it's nothing more than some folks meeting at Denny's and having a patty melt and shooting the shit about their last flights, hotel stays, and what their grandkids are doing. And that the league won't allow any decent to be voiced about these part time employees.

EDIT: It really feeds the conspiracy theory. And I think the NFL likes that..

Rewatch the game...there's a side judge that spots the ball wrong 3 times and he's responsible for 3 of the flags that are just bad calls....ringer?

It was a hold. But the frustrating part was unless he was going to shed his block and catch a 4.4 runner who was already 10 yards in front of him w a full head of steam it had 0 influence on the play.

Somebody needs to believe...NFL corporate loves you.

Bengals had 6 first downs by penalty...Chiefs had zero.

Chiefs were penalized for a false start by Burrow. Bengals committed a false start, had the Chiefs pointing at them...and the refs ignored it on a third and inches on the goal line.

Chiefs got a DPI on a play where no DPI happened...on third down. That is a punt that never happened...on a drive that put up points.

The refs went completely ape-shit lopsided in the 4th quarter....ignoring one teams fouls and inventing them for the other.

Dont forget the 3rd and two conversion that got called back for holding and killed KC's drive around midfield...ticky-tack 3rd down holding calls are the NFL's trick for controlling outcomes.

Look at WHEN these penalties were called/not called....all on third down.

We've already established that often, the results of the contest aren't predetermined :

Titans/Chiefs in the FORWARD PROGRESS game is a great example - the Chiefs were SCREAMING toward a beatdown of TEN. Triplett drops the FP bomb, TEN comes back (in a manner just like the Bungholes today), the game gets tied...and the NFL has a close game on national TV in the playoffs. Doesn't matter which asshole team kicks the FG at the end, because the winner of that game was scheduled to get jobbed by NE. Which TEN promptly did. And JAX got jobbed in the AFCCG- Myles Jacks had either an INT or fumble recovery...but the NFL loves them some Tom Brady.

Sometimes, it's for TV/entertainment purposes. Sometimes its for the storyline. And sometimes, the oddest shit will happen at the end of a game and the team covers the spread. AMAZING.

For instance, today…big time game. A blowout looked to be on the horizon. Then Pringle’s return was called back. On a play that happens all the time. I don’t think that’s coincidence.

A few years ago we were about to destroy Houston. This was when they were trying to hype up the Mahomes/Watson thing. We were getting ready to go up 17 or something when a PI call against Houston was mysteriously erased by a call from “upstairs.” The call was made, marked off, then changed by the hand of God with no explanation. Next thing I know we turn the ball over and Houston is right back in it.

Where was the eye in the sky to fix some of the BS calls today - like the Sneed DPI? The league can have gigantic influence over games by selectively applying that thing.

So when "the NFL" switches out a ref crew at the last minute. Do we know who actually makes those decisions? Does Goodell have direct input? I wish reporters would ask that question, and the NFL had some transparency about that.

They "missed" a pretty blatant hold on WASP no one wants to talk about outside of SF.

Any questions you have further will be answered by copy/paste from this website, so go ahead and read up if you have any more questions. https://www.thefixisin.net

My apologies, I must have confused you with blackop or one of the others who are claiming that.

Why wait to change out the crew? If they wanted to "manipulate" the game in the Bengals favor, why not just assign this crew in the first place?

And I thought it was just one ref who got replaced? I wasn't really paying attention, did they really swap out the whole crew?

They swapped out at least 4 refs that I saw, presumably because of covid. But since there's zero transparency on this stuff we have no idea why they did it or who is "they".

You'd think they'd have hid behind the COVID cloak or something.

But nope. "One official is as good as the other."

Remember when they made a big deal about the 'all-star crew' with the Rams MNF game in 2018...and the were allowed to false start in a close game that was handed to the Chiefs' opponents?

Anytime they talk about the officials before the game, be leery.

You have shit for a memory...I've been making conspiracy posts for a decade.

Actually, 2 decades...was a Coalition member during the Bush years....back before Sly became Mayor. I had no idea he even became Mayor..he was a just a poster on there.

There are only two games in the Mahomes era where I lifted an eyebrow....the 49ers game in PM's rookie season where JG blew out his knee...and "maybe" the WASP play...holding could have been called...it wasn't egregious enough to warrant a conspiracy...it was a wild, chaotic play in the SB. The only reason SF still talk about it...is because it was successful.

Not like flagrantly ignored calls we experienced against Manning... other teams have no idea how bad KC has been bent over through the years.

We're like...THAT isn't missed holding...you haven't seen shit.

That was simple - no one wanted a boring ass 20-10 SF victory.

They "missed" a pretty blatant hold on WASP no one wants to talk about outside of SF.

Now kindly go **** yourself.


I was talking about the 2019 regular season. With

1) The bad spot

2) The quick whistle negating a McCourty TD

3) N'Keal Harry wrongly ruled out of bounds

(2 and 3 are linked, only one could have happened)

4) possible missed PI call on the Patriots last drive

Refs have been horrid for awhile, but I don't think they've been targeting one particular team

If you remember, the CHIEFS got most of the calls in AFC title game against NE. Gronk and Edelman were mauled the entire game.

My team should be 9-7 right now, but instead we are out of the playoff race because our receiver was TACKLED in the end zone week 3 against Oakland, with no flag in overtime.

“It was totally a fumble,” Cowboys linebacker Leighton Vander Esch said. “I just don’t understand how with the technology that we have today, even if we don’t have timeouts, or whatever it may be, to . . . [not be able to] challenge it. It’s so obvious. Certain things are so obvious in games that refs are messing up. Why aren’t they fixing it? It doesn’t make any sense to me. To me, we’re playing more against the refs than we are other teams.”

I’ll absolutely have the conversation that certain officials, crews, etc. call games a certain way due to personal agendas, outside influences, possible gambling ties, etc…I mean it’s really hard to not believe it when something like today happens.

Also I’d sure like to know why Hussey’s crew was completely swapped out at the last second for Tolbert’s….zero transparency and that’s the kind of stuff that makes people question things.

No, I don't remember all that. I remember jumping up on the Patriots and them being upset on the Henry being out of bounds, but whatever.

In the AFC title game against NE, we got JOBBED.

The Chris Jones phantom penalty for getting close to Brady, Kelce and Hill got mauled plenty, and that flag for offsides didn't come out until Brady threw the pick.

And yeah, Raiders are dirty and that should've been called. The refs are egregiously crooked.

Shut the **** up...Dolphin fan going to come on here and talk to KC fans about Manning getting calls.

Cool...can I lecture you about how Brady never gets any calls in his favor? I mean you guys only played him for two decades..so I obviously know better..

It sounds bad if it's deliberate...how am I supposed feel excited about a victory or angry about a defeat if I'm questioning the authenticity of what I'm watching?

Who really gives a shit if that's the case...

Not to derail too much with political theory...but isn't one of the most "American" fabric things the NFL/Football? Would it behoove certain groups to cheapen it?

There has to be a somewhat cheapened aspect for Bengals fans...I was trying to flip the scenario in my head....if the same exact thing happened today only in KC's favor....I would be kind of "meh"...like "Cool, KC gets a bye I guess"...but also dirty at the same time.

Dont answer in this thread...I just wanted to throw that concept out there.

Go to the political section...if anyone wants to discuss it in detail.

Rabble's post is stupid. So is your follow up post. Our CBs got smoked. Plain and simple. Chase cooked our shit and while the refs had some shitty calls, doesn't change the fact that our secondary got smoked.

Whatever. Guess we're playing wildcard weekend. Personally, I hope we get the Patriots as I'd like to see us crush the over-rated Macaroni Jones.

I don't remember any bad calls in that SB. They just got their asses kicked big time.

Then, the next year, that STUPIO ****ING MORONIC SEAHAWKS HAD TO TANK THE FOURTH QUARTER!!!!

TWO POSSESSIONS WITH A TEN POINT LEAD!!!!

SEVEN PLAYS!!!!

One time I misbehaved at work, so my boss locked me in the break room and forced me to watch that entire fourth quarter.

(Well, that isn't true)

Last year's Super Bowl was the wimpy bowl. Those refs were ridiculous. I mean, Sean Murphy-Bunting did far worse in the playoffs.

Patty Moans 01-02-2022 11:42 PM

We're lucky they didn't call pass interference on every play. There was holding by our corners that went uncalled. The refs didn't win that game we lost it and all the whining in the world won't change that. During the eight game winning streak we got away with a ton of penalties that weren't called. Pay respect to the winning team and play better.

Not only was it a disgrace but it was an imbalanced disgrace. NFL and apologists can claim incompetence when the bad calls are riddled throughout and both teams get hosed but when both teams have to play by a completely different set of rules and those rules obviously benefit one team and screw another the discussions like we’re having this evening take place.

Here are the Bucs getting a call in last year's playoffs

How is this not a penalty? He gets beat and hooks the receiver.

This is par for the course for pedo tom teams. Nothing different than has been happening for the past 2 decades.

Do you remember that Hail Mary PI that was not called in KC SD?

If that was called and KC wins, Miami is 9-7, and SD and LV are 8-8

I’ve only read the first page of this thread……

Happy to see I’m not the only one…….


Refs blew up this game. But I also won’t be surprised when national media suck on the begal’s cock with their review of beating the chiefs…..

No more losses this season! Better to lose now than in a few weeks.

Technically, you could say it was holding, but the Bucs did far worse throughout the playoffs.
