The Conspiracy Narrative Around Here

A 'professional' NFL official should NEVER miss a call like what happened to us against the Rams, and no one will ever convince me that there wasn't something extra going on there.
This should be the red flag for most. All of the power and money that the NFL has, the technology that is available yet the officiating and review of calls just can't seem to get obvious things right. Why is that? I wager that it's because the NFL don't want to get it right. As many others have said, there is so much money, influence from betting, financial incentives for bigger markets to succeed over smaller ones, etc. Is it all pre-determined like pro wrestling? Nah, too many moving parts and you know people would talk. Does the NFL like to keep the officiating fast and loose and just fallible enough to have plausible deniability as to thwart such accusations of fixing? I say absolutely.
