But when a blown call changes the outcome ..... then I / we have valid points to b itch about The latter game ... someone breathed on Tom and got a RTP call. Shades of the TUCK rule. 1

Talent aside, how does a team fall into so much luck and good fortune for over a decade? It just doesn’t make any sense I think you are missing the Celtics, Yankees and UCLA Bruins basketball...

Mr. WEO Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 10 hours ago, The Frankish Reich said: I think the NFL is actually a worse entertainment product today then before replay was created. Replay does little to ensure that the game isn't decided by a bad call; it simply shifts the types of bad calls that decide games. Today it was a non-call on a (nonreviewable) penalty. It also destroys a lot of the exciting plays - I'm not sure MLB will ever recover from the damage done by super slo-mo on stolen bases where it would defy the rules of physics for a player to remain in contact with the bad for every split second after the "successful" steal is completed. I disagree. Isn't all of what we are doing right now, beefing constantly about "the NFL" on these types of sites part of the entertainment we enjoy? Of course it is!---and the NFL depends on that. No other pro league generates this kind of 365 day a tear passion about the tiniest of details. Nobody cares about the NBA, NHL or MLB in their off seasons (if they even care during those interminable seasons), yet the NFL RULES the sports news cycle all year long. No entertainment entity in the world is better at manipulating their viewers than the NFL. EVERYONE says "I'll never watch an NFL game again!"----and the League knows you're lying....that you are incapable of turning away. EVERYONE says "the NFL is dying", or "the end is coming for the NFL"....yet the league continues to destroy all other pro leagues, with gap widening, and continues to bring in record revenues. Despite some of these owners seeming to be legit morons (at least at running their teams), it doesn't matter. This business is idiot proof and there are enough clever owners to keep the golden goose fat. And they have Roger Goodell as the villain fans can't hate to love enough. He is the NFL's greatest asset. He is paid handsomely to be the very public villain and take all the punches for Kim, Terry and the others. It's all genius. "Are you not entertained?"

Foxx Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) the non-call was a lot closer than many of you would like to think. and if any of you watched any of the playoffs, this year or any of the recent past years, you would understand that PI is not called as close as it is during the regular season. in fact it typically tends to become more lax as the season wears on. the second replay in this tweet shows that the ball was right about there. and 'd be willing to wager that if an overhead shot were found, it would show that it was even closer. https://twitter.com/dhookstead/status/1087124161024196611 stop with this nonsense.

One can discover numerous places in a game where alternative results would have changed the outcome. Still, it's a bitter way to lose out on a chance at a championship.

Haze_21 Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 The nfl isnt rigged. it's possible a ref could try to influence the game but it would be difficult and is unlikely. It was just a bad call. Human error, move on. One call does not make the game. I cannot believe how poorly some people are taking this.

I cannot believe how poorly some people are taking this. one year i decided to watch sports by picking a team and putting every play under a microscope and finding fault with every single thing they did on O and D it wasn't much fun crying about a bad strike call or traveling or interference of holding 100 times a game a total waste of energy and mind it is really a dumb thing to do when its the best team sports is about recharging the batteries for the work or school week, best done in the company of friends and fans and family with whom you can drink and enjoy their company
LabattBlue Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 So who is on the fix? Players? Refs? Owners? Coaches? Stupid thread. Nothing more than human error.
