Could the NFL be fixed?

After watching replays, the same official made both the calls the Browns moaned about: Field judge Dyrol Prioleau.

That's a little suspicious.

I would think that Vegas has people whose sole job is to learn the weaknesses of every official who can potentially impact the outcome of a game. Money, woman , drugs , jewlery etc can buy a lot. It is no different than politics. The effort likely extends into coaching staffs and players on a more limited basis. Just my conspiracy theory

Fixed may be too strong a word but there's definitely a bias to large market or more popular teams. Remember our game against the Steelers this year or Dallas last year?

It's too obvious now, that the NFL has to take a

very serious look at the blatant contradictions in calls and non-calls.

The problem is the NFL .............................DOESN'T have to look at anything.

They will just blame the refs, and say We are sorry, and no one cares, because there is a game Thursday and then many games Sunday.

The NFL is IMMUNE to this crap. They make BILLIONS........................and BILLIONS of dollars and the more crap calls, the better for their money flow

Over the past 3 decades I've had many a drunken rant

about how Super Bowl III was fixed.

On a related subject, how did you like Neal O'Donnell in the

Super Bowl against Dallas in the 90's?

Super Bowl III was definitely fixed, the jets winning is what got the afl and nfl to merge

LOL.... Conspiracies under every rock... collect them all...

The Jet's flat-out kicked the Colts' asses in SB-III.

The PI call sucked... I think we got hosed... I just do not choose to believe it was a conspiracy hosing.

Something I've not seen discussed yet... Something I'd even forgotten about until I watched the game again... I guess the NFL made Chud go for 2... with a run up the gut no less...

miktoxic

what a fucking farce.

only thing patriotic about NE nowadays is the scarves the pivs wear at the game,

yeah, and can we have more shots of kraft in his VIP box?

wonder if that glass is bulletproof?

guys is gone and tells his chauffer to park his cAAAr in hAAvArd yAAArd.

To be fair, the way the game played out 1 point taken there still would have resulted in a browns loss. It would have merely been tied on that final touchdown and they would have kicked the extra point. Still agree the run call was way stupid.

Not exactly if the Browns just kick the xp they would have been up 20 to 3 when New England scored their first TD. New England kicks the xp to make it 20 to 10. No reason for them to go for 2 and take the chance of needing 2 TD's rather than a TD and FG.
