NFL need to force refs to also participate in postgame media to explain their decisions. Would be a great first step at addressing an obvious problem.

[@BHox01]

This is the biggest disconnect. Literally one individual going rogue can effectively alter a whole team's legacy via one ref in the right situation. Get a few more in to try to disguise it and you got an easy scam going.

[@maxbrian6066]

Exactly. Plus, you also can get leverage over a player or two to do something they otherwise wouldn't. The argument has been the players already make millions why would they do something for the sake of some bet or preference? Well, when lots of money is at stake, someone in control with power can always arrange something. Maybe a player has a crime or scandal in their background that would ruin them if found out. McAfee needs to drop the whole, "SOOO many people would have to be in on it" mantra. He's ULTIMATELY kissing the league's butt (his bread and butter) and flirts with the "controlled opposition" card.

The NFL has been rigged for years. The league is just getting more brazen about it as the refs are increasingly deciding high profile games. The "holding" call in the SB was the worst "call" in SB history. The "hold" didn't impede the receiver's route in any way and Mahomes threw the ball out of the end zone. No more proof is needed than this to show that the refs repeatedly rescued the Chiefs throughout the playoffs. Has anyone else ever seen a team that gets a new set of downs because someone somewhere didn't hear a whistle. The NFL is a criminal organization who should be sued into oblivion for defrauding the American people.

This is the most logical answer. This is how I approach most "conspiracy theories". When you look at an extremely large event that happens and people I know immediately start claiming ConTheory I just ask them to think about the required amount of people it would require to pull it off. After they've answered or sat there silent long enough it starts getting awkward my next question is "How many people do you know that constantly gossip and just run their mouth constantly?" That is usually when things start to fall apart. Are there exceptions? Absolutely. Besides, there were still 8 seconds on the clock. It was still possible the Chiefs could have got another play off and out of bounds with time left on the clock to get Butker closer, and even despite that hit a 62yd FG earlier this season. Now I wait for the inevitable rush of people commenting that I'm wrong even though I believe that the scenario was possible not a lock. Hell Butker could have shanked the 42yarder on that last kick anyway.

[@nd9814]

I think the Dez “no catch” was just a bad call more than a rigging. The Tuck rule is definitely rigged. Super Bowl XL. I will say, I think this season had at least 4 games rigged by officiating. Both the AFC Championship and the Super Bowl were rigged. And the Commanders-Giants night game and the Falcons Bucs games were rigged. I think the individual refs have someone bet for them on a game and throw a flag here or there to ensure a certain outcome.

[@cemarz]

I think that when people say 'rigged' they are referring to the refs specifically rigging games. That's is fairly easy to do and, as stated, has happened in every single sport.

[@troybaxter]

The weakest point in a sporting event is always the officials. They are so easy to sway and control to determine the outcome of the game. We see it in soccer and the 2002 World Cup, we see it in boxing, we see it in baseball, we see it in blatantly basketball, we were shocked to hear a NHL official accidentally say words to indicate game rigging over an open mic. What makes us think this doesn’t happen in the NFL and college football? It is one thing if you are claiming that players are rigging the games themselves (which, in hockey and football that is very, very hard to do), but it is another to make a claim that officials are rigging the games. One is highly likely, the other is VERY likely.

The Bengals call was also an obvious and good call (Mahomes being hit late, well out of bounds, which is precisely what the rule says is illegal). I often agree with accusations of cheating, but it's not always the case. I feel like people who became of aware of rigged games are now starting to look with biased eyes and see it in everything. That's going to cause a loss of credibility. It's the same when people who rightly see real conspiracies than start believing every conspiracy claim put out there (like 5g Covid or Flat Earth).

Super Bowl #3

[@gregjones8848]

It doesn't take much. Just a few boarder line calls. A called hold here, a not called hold there. A touchy PI called here, a obvious no PI called. A touchy roughing the QB. It would not be hard to have an (one) official sway a game. It may not guarantee the outcome. But definitely keep it within a point spread. Bring on Donahee and get his opinion....

There is a reason that the NFL punishes players and coaches for questioning game officials!

"The NFL is NOT rigged." - SeatGeek, MGM Grand, DraftKings, Caesars Sportsbook, FanDuel, and the list goes on and on...

[@GentlemensCage]

Add Pat and his media clowns to that list. He’s officially sold his soul

[@newagain9964]

@@GentlemensCage Pat is basically a partner of the NFL. Not official but certainly unofficial.

U forgot the media partners. Corporate media $$$ Fox, ESPN, CBS, Amazon, etc..

[@GentlemensCage]

@@newagain9964 I’m glad people are finally waking up. Time to gamble on these games knowing that they are scripted

[@newagain9964]

@@GentlemensCage Godell some years ago said NFL creates “storylines”. I interpret it as not a firm script like WWE but tampering is def there and not necessarily in every game.

Never seen so many close games since NFL legalized gambling. Wouldn’t say there’s an outright conspiracy, but i think the owners highly imply certain outcomes to refs. Done w a 😉

[@MagicMan508]

The refs defently help one team cheat to keep games close. They don't do it every game, obviously, but they do for a lot of primetime games. I don't think they do it for the spread or vegas. I think they do it to keep TV audience entertained

[@DegenerateSpeculator]

Chiefs have been helped all year. This isn't a surprise to anyone who watches NFL or NBA. More like the WWE every year

Casinos operating three floors and two escalators from the stadium locker rooms in the same stadium... Man let's pay that mortgage real quick

As a Saints fan I feel for the Bangles. The NFL rigged the 2018 NFC CHAMPIONSHIP game because they wanted the Patriots and the Rams because of the market. No excuses NFL quit pulling this crap
