Yup. It's that easy to 'rig' a game in the NFL
One shit call, and it's 'well, **** you Pittsburgh - y'all are staying home and we'll just have to take an "our bad, dawg" on this one...ya gnomesaine?? Sorry. Keep your coach off the field.'
Because you KNOW they have people watching every single call in at the 'command center', right??
And you know, that if they REALLY wanted to get calls correct, that the command center could intervene in cases like the SD game (where officials are majorly blowing calls at the end of the game that directly affect who is allowed to participate in the playoffs)
But they don't care about getting calls 'right', just 'right enough-ish'. If they cared, they would actually enforce rules instead of merely interpreting them.
