I think the NFL had the 'steer' in with this game. I won't say the 'fix', but I won't argue against it. Three moments in particular where I posit the NFL showed its hand:
1. The flag that was thrown, but wasn't. The immediately withdrawn personal foul 15 yard penalty for body slamming our player well after the play. It was so blatant, the refs, who were clearly swallowing their whistle to an extreme extent to that point, even relented and threw the flag. Then, after a brief moment, they somehow announce simply and tersely there was "no foul on the play". Immediately, Romo said 'haha good no-call there, that was a flop.' It was not a flop at all. KC's player got forcefully shoved by a Bengal over another Bengal that was already on the ground, so he couldn't rebalance himself and thus got driven violently into the ground. The player on the ground even grabbed his foot in the process. The part that stinks the most is how and why that flag got picked up. 2. The late hit flag that wasn't thrown Hardman returns a punt and gets shoved out of bounds, a long moment passes, the moment grows even longer, then he gets smacked down. It was well after the play, which distinguishes this no-flag from the ones on actual plays. It had to be called; it was textbook. The ref was in position. The fans went nuts; Hardman sprung up not lobbying for a flag, but celebrating the obvious one coming. But crickets from the refs? 3. The fair-catch interference no-call This sure seemed to me like a blatant, obvious 15 yarder that has to be called. I even fist-pumped right when it happened, as appeared the crowd did as well. Romo argued that it was an acting job, and in super slow-mo I could see his point I suppose (in super slow-mo), but the contact itself was indisputable, and that's the penalty, isn't it? It wasn't particularly soft or incidental contact, and if the ball flies out of our returner's hands as a result of that contact, and the Bengals pick it up for the instant free TD, what happens then? TD for the Bengals, perhaps? Or do they slow it down on replay to determine if Hardman had possession before the hit jarred the ball loose...on a friggin' fair catch? These three plays are the plays I'm throwing my own flag on above all the rest. |

Why are you so upset about this loss when you know it's rigged/not legitimate?
Getting apoplectic over something you know is fake and pre-determined?

Mobsters liked making money. Pro football in the 1920s didn't make money. It barely eked an existence. College football made the money. That is where the mobsters gambled. |
