NFL Questionable calls caught on camera. (1 Viewer)

I think everyone who believes it's rigged is nuts. Game goes way too fast with too many moving parts, refs are going to miss calls. But I also understand your right to believe whatever you want.

It doesn't have to be completely rigged to have the outcomes influenced, you need a good QB like Brady or Mahomes and a good all around team. I don't believe it's completely rigged, but very much influenced. Andy Reid couldn't get it done with his old QB, can't remember his name now, but with Mahomes it's all going his way and isn't going to change even though the rules do each year in favour of the athletic QBs. I don't follow the NFL much anymore, but I do occasionally see highlights where Mahomes seems to have a chance to win the game in the end every week. Then when he makes the playoffs his chances go way up. The rules are subjective, wheres theres subjectivity, there is opportunity for swaying outcomes.

The fact that the NFL refuses to utilize the same open to the public review system that the XFL had where viewers were able to watch the guy in the booth review every angle in real time shows the NFL doesn’t want it to happen.

Small infractions like false starts, off sides, holding, hands to the face, I get it. But big game/momentum impactful calls like PI, roughing the passer, unsportsmanlike like conduct where they usually get the second player and not the first one, etc should all be reviewable.

I can’t remember which game it was last weekend, but there was a horrible OPI call on the team trying to score in the red zone as they were behind. They had 2 receivers on the left and 1 on the right. They all did crossing patterns and one of the receiver going left to right got called for OPI and the receiver that caught it scored a TD which was called back. The replay showed the receiver who got called for OPI intentionally tried to avoid hitting the defender and did not “per the rules” try to inhibit the defenders progress. But it was not reviewed and they wound up losing. This may have been a college game, I can’t remember.

So you guys are saying that the NFL stepped in and made sure that the post Katrina Saints would go to the NFC championship game and then win the Super Bowl? Was Steve Gleason's punt block just a predetermined outcome?

I'm not buying it.

I don't think anyone believes the NFL is completely rigged or "scripted." However, I can see where games can be influenced through judgment call penalties. There is a reason the NFL is labeled as a sports entertainment business which allows them to circumvent certain rules regarding fixing games and betting.

One thing that leads me to believe this is that on some penalties, for those of us watching it on TV, the booth will go back and show the penalty and give their thoughts on it. On others, they won't show at all, even when the game is slow, there is a timeout, or play has stopped. It just seems odd.

You gotta pay special attention to the lesser viewed games. These seem like the most trifled with. I believe the Rizzi called out the head official in the Browns game, as he was heading into the locker room at half time. I think he was calling it out and interestingly enough, that was the end of the officiating shenanigans. That's probably wishful thinking, but that's what I hoped happened. We need Rizzi and his NJ mafia ties and get the influencial gamblers out of the officials pockets during Saints games. This problem has gone on long enough. I can't wait for the real news to break on this like in the NBA. It's a matter of time, they are getting sloppy and blatant. Probably using crypto if I had to guess.

You guys do know that stats take about two seconds to google.

Most offensive holding penalties in 2024.

1. Baltimore 24
2. Kansas City 22
10. New Orleans 17
32. Jax 3

For those…..KC never gets called for holding people.

That might have been the Tennessee/Georgia game.
