Yeah, because a broken, washed up Cam Newton and 5-8 Panther team are in the same comparison as a Brady team. Bad timing to make that argument. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't watch, but I listened to the game. It sounded like there were a few questionable calls on the Panthers in the second half per Murph and E-Wood, including a soft roughing the passer call, so... maybe? 🤷♂️ Yes, we certainly benefited from decisions this week compared to last.

Bruffalo Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 The league isn't fixed but I will die on the hill that the NFL referees have biases towards bigger market teams and players. So much leeway is given to big name players in the NFL. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flaz Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Nope. Officials will mostly continue to suck, until the league impliments full timers. They need to eat, sleep and breath football. Not make dentures, file lawsuits or sell insurance 5 days a week 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTermBuffalonian Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Eh, there were few non-calls that influenced the game... TBH- the refs may have been guilted to tune it back a little.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just a fact. The officials Today did a helluva job at keeping things even today imo and letting the players play! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what it looks like to me…i never said it was an anti bills thing like the OP is implying but the bucs seem to always have the questionable calls go their way. They’ve got two or three wins this season alone on sketchy no calls late Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filthymcnasty08 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Put TB12 in the panther blue and see what happens. Nobody ever said that EVERY game is fixed, but it was painfully obvious to everyone that the calls went extremely one-sided last week...and decided the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 We over came a bunch of holding penalties but they didn't call them for holding when our passrushers were being held, so ... 😎😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far not one thread saying so this week, funny how that happens when the Bills win. I'll hang up and wait for your answers. I think you are missing the point most people were trying to make. The NFL isn't "fixing" games against the Bills because they have some sort of vendetta against Buffalo, but they very well could be manipulating games outcomes to create hype and therefore viewership down the road. If the Pats didn't "magically" turn from a bad team into a dominate team, and if Buffalo would have spanked the Pats last week (like they SHOULD have) they would be in a commanding lead to win the division, and who (except Bills fans) would be interested in next weeks game? Why all of the baffling upsets this season? The conspiracist in me feels the league is artificially keeping the division/playoff races close to support interest for their new 17 week schedule, and their ultimate end game is to finagle a Bucks/Pats Super Bowl. We will see, hopefully the conspiracist in me is TOTALLY off base and it's just a whacky season, time will tell. So you see it's not just the Bills, it's just last week was our turn in the barrel. I haven't seen the game, so I don't know, but I've read some articles that it was the Steelers this week getting the "benefit" of a few calls on their winning TD drive against the Titans. And exactly what was the deal with the Lions and Cards??? Edited December 20, 2021 by Gen2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
