Football So the NFL was on full display this weekend - Page 6

It's all rigged for Ben and Brady to meet again. We had to lose so Brady could play a cupcake and Mariota a young buck could win and the league looks good. Smith is boring and it hurts us with the refs for certain. Mahomes will change all of that for us.

What's awesome though is that bad officiating or officials playing favorites has happened for so long it's just accepted.

"If you want that call earn it" whatever happened to you know calling the rules right?

Yeah, he ends a career and physically injures someone because of his incompetence yet keeps his job for decades while continuing to be incompetent.

With all of the good officials in the US, how hard would it be to replace this piece of shit? One phone call.

Why don't they do it? Maybe he knows something.

NFL officiating is like the mafia, you can't say a word about them, they are heavily protected, they don't speak about anything, once you're in you're there for life. Seems kinda odd..

**notorious** · 01-08-2018, 09:09 AM

"Team is soft and couldn't get over the call" "They had their chances to win in spite of the officials".

What the **** ever. They promote how the NFL is a game of inches, one play can make the difference, etc. yet this bullshit continues.

While influencing games they've taught fans that if you blame the refs you are a loser. Your team didn't deserve it etc etc. All plays right into it.

**notorious** · 01-08-2018, 09:16 AM

I am not buying the promotion of the Tits. They are as boring as the Chiefs, maybe more.

If I put on my really thick tinfoil hat (double lined) I can see the NFL forcing the Chiefs hand in making Alex exit and bring in the Mahomes era. We know how ****ing stupid this franchise is with QBs, and the NFL might have been frightened of the prospect that a possible young QB star was going to be stuck on the bench one more year.

I don't even believe that, though.

philfree · 01-08-2018, 09:35 AM

Since Lamar Hunt forced his way into the league and then won it all.. well sometimes I think there's a deal in place that will never allow the Chiefs to win it all again. Those old bastards had to hate Lamar for what he did to their league. So it wasn't about propping up Tennessee it was about holding down the Chiefs.

I'm not saying I really believe that but it would explain how there's always messed calls in every Chiefs home playoff loss.

Chiefnj2 · 01-08-2018, 09:35 AM

The NFL doesn't like being embarrassed. NFL news these days is like TMZ. They love reporting crap more than the game. That's why Andy needs to take a bullet one time and go off in a press conference on the officiating. It will draw headlines for days and bring attention to one of the real factors why people aren't watching the game and why they think it's fixed.

oldman · 01-08-2018, 09:51 AM

What needs to happen is the fans need to say enough is enough and start sending letters, posting on social media, boycott sponsors, and yes, maybe even fly banners. What is the NFL going to do, not let us go to a draft party? Screw this nonsense every freaking week. I don't care if the zebras have it out for someone, they've been told to keep the games close, or whatever else might be a reason, this crap has got to stop. If I want to see some pretty young thing get the calls, I think I'll just start watching women's WWE. Now that's entertainment.

ChiefFanForHire · 01-08-2018, 10:01 AM

I'm not going to say it's "staged" or "scripted", but as soon as Triplette lied about forward progress to negate our right to challenge possession, our game became illegitimate.

It was a bad call to start with, that I think was made on purpose....but it was just a bad call, that we could legally challenge however, so whatever.

When Triplette lied and said there was forward progress and therfore we can't challenge, the entire game became illegitimate. Doesn't matter that there was a whole half to play, doesn't matter we had 500 chances, would not have mattered if we won by 50 or lost by 60. As soon as Triplette lied, circumventing the rulebook to keep things close, for whatever agenda, the whole thing wbecame 100 percent illegitimate.

And I agree with everyone on here that the younger generation, they ain't buying it. They can log into the internet and have casual sex with 1000s of chicks in their own area, sometimes 2,3 different girls a day, anytime they want. Why would they deny themselves that to watch a bunch of 3 hour shows that constantly look, act, and feel bogus?

straycash · 01-08-2018, 10:09 AM

I’m 95% sure it’s 10% rigged or sometimes it is, WTF am I saying, NFL is and have always been rigged the Mafia’s been there since the 60’s. It’s painfully obvious to anyone who isn’t an American. So easy to be a Chiefs fan.

Eleazar · 01-08-2018, 10:18 AM

There's no reason to believe in some massive game-fixing conspiracy. The problems with officiating are obvious.

Some crews, like Triplette's, are incompetent, and the league doesn't hold them accountable.

The league has also made many complex rule changes that make it nearly impossible for anyone - referee or otherwise - to explain some of them.

You combine those two things, and it's a fatal mix.

If there's a scandal regarding the Chiefs game, it's that Triplette was given a playoff game as a retirement gift when his crew sucked. The NFL's feet should be held to the fire about that one.

And going forward, the fan base should demand that the NFL improve the quality and accountability in officiating and simplify the rules so that fans get accurate decisions from the officials and actually believe the officials' decisions when they are made.
