I'm afraid of the refs

[JerseyBills]

I read an article from a mainstream non sports outlet recently and they gushed over the ratings a NE/TB Superbowl would do compared to all others.

Although Dallas vs Buffalo was 3rd best. 

Bottom line, I'm worried the NFL has this in mind , I mean the storylines would be endless. The ratings a once in a lifetime occurrence.  

It would not surprise me the least bit to see the refs heavily favor NE in a gm where a couple of holding calls could make a huge dent. 

 

Edit - here's the link , it was from Yahoo.

Since when does the NFL care about the fans, though.

Let me calm the OP down.

 

The Bills game on MNF is not going to be ruined by pro-NE bias as part of a master Super Bowl conspiracy plot.

Is there anything Bills fans aren't afraid of? The most paranoid and insecure fanbase in sports. 

[Aussie Joe]

Worst conspiracy theory ever… the game gets good ratings and sells all the advertising slots anyway…

The casuals would eat a TB/NE Superbowl up. They're thinking $$$ , not about the real fans

NBC pregame show talked about how “the path is clear to a Chiefs-Patriots AFC championship game”

We will be all looking for the yellow flag every time Bills make a big play.

Fully expecting a late flag or two thrown for defensive holding.

But it could be ruined by the officials for no reason at all

That paranoia is justified, when it comes to officials.

 

All goes back to....."Just give it to 'em."
