Falcons Fan MVP 2,771 Posted June 18, 2019 What NFL games have you seen over the years that you think looked rigged or scripted besides Super bowl 51 (which is being discussed on the "do the Patriots get special treatment from the referees" thread)? It can be a Falcons game or any other game anytime in NFL history. Even if you don't think there is any games that are scripted, rigged or bias officiating maybe you saw a game that sure looked that way. For me one game I thought looked very suspicious was the 2012 divisional round playoff game between the Broncos and Ravens. The "wide open" touchdown to tie. The bone headed interception by Peyton Manning with just under a minute in overtime looked suspicious to me. The Oilers vs Bills 35-3 let down wild card game was suspicious to me also. The Seahawks vs Steelers super bowl is definitely looked at as a game the refs were biased against the Seahawks. 3 Emmitt, high impact and Cheap Talk reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DriveHomeSafelyAtlantaWins 1,823 Posted June 19, 2019 The Saints game season before last, where they had been whining all week about ref calls. The one where the refs had us in 3rd and 312.

Cheap Talk 1,228 Posted June 19, 2019 The most obvious one of all, besides SB 51, was this last season. Of course that would be the Saints and the Rams. Where do you begin. The NFL has been so poor at covering-up their predetermined winners over the years that you could point to almost every Super Bowl, and many of the Post-Season games especially. You sure are courageous for opening-up this topic, but I am going to stay out it, just want to see where it goes without my help. 2 Iron Saint and poutlipper reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's kind of just for fun. There has to be some game that made you say "they couldn't be that stupid" or "they couldn't have possibly f***** up that badly." You could make an argument for the Fail Mary game for example. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

high impact 2,223 Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) What do ya say about the tuck rule game? Sure looked like a bad call to me. Kind of gave new life to the Pats. Took the air out of the Raiders. Who came up with that bogus tuck rule anyway? I had never heard anything like that till that game. I call BS on that trash. Nothing funny going on here.

Sounds like you need to read the NFL rule book. That rule had been there awhile and a few seasons after that... Games aren't rigged, fans are just sore losers.

I couldn’t be a homer in that game and the preference for the winner was obvious. Edited June 19, 2019 by droopy1592 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
