Really? Did you not see the Bengals/Rams SB?

No flags until the game was on the line...
Yeah but if our shit line blocked Darnold on that last play Chase scores because his defender fell down. Burrow needed - litererally - one more second and the Bengals are Super Bowl Champs.

The NFL was NEVER going to let some podunk team beat the shiny new Rams, with superstars top to bottom, in the sparkling new stadium, in a market they desperately wanted to crack...if the refs could help it.

Yeah, if Stafford got hurt and the score went to 40-10, refs can't stop that, but that last two minutes in that SB were pure comedy.

Is it rigged or unintentional favoritism?

You see the same thing in MLB. A rookie hitter has a tight strike zone. A vet with a reputation of having a good eye at the plate will get the benefit of the doubt on close pitches. Works with pitchers too. A pitcher with solid demand on any given night will get generous calls that might be a little off the plate, where if a pitcher who is struggling throws a pitch in that exact same position it will get called a ball.

Umps/Refs are human. It might not be intended bias - but it definitely happens.
It's too frequent to be unintended. Especially once Tay Tay became a focal point for the NFL. Cant hve her boyfriend losing games

The fact that there has never been on offensive holding flag against the Chiefs in any of their superbowls, despite many many obvoius holds is pretty telling.
Yet, their opponents get called.

Imagine having Hackett and Arthur Smith as your offensive combo

How do these bums, who have proven they are idiots, continue to keep getting jobs

Adam Gase all over again.

Hackett and Smith are two fo the worst HC hires in recent years....only Urban Meyer was worse

how bad Miami looks without Tua it just seems really fucking dumb to not have a very solid backup QB or to not invest in developing a backup QB behind your franchise guy.
If any team in the NFL needed an experienced backup QB it was Miami, fuck knows what the GM was smoking leaving Skylar Thompson as the #2.

Can't be worse than Blaine Gabbert and their GM is usually pretty good.
You mean two time Super Bowl winner Blaine Gabbert?

Put some respect on his name!

It's not like he got those rings just sitting on the bench you know.

Considering what wrestlers used to do to people who called it "fake," I can only imagine what would happen if one of these people went up to some of these monsters in the NFL, and told them to their faces everything was fake.

Be like Haku biting that guys nose off in a bar with some of the psychos that play in the NFL. Or at least the Stossel treatment.
