There are typically way roo many people that have to be in on scripting the NFL games, but this was too obvious like they don't care who knows. They obviously wanted the division to come down to Ravens Steelers. The game was decided before Kick-off.
 
It was. But not by the NFL.
Browns somehow wanted this game more
I disagree, I was watching it with a Ravens fan and he said the same thing. Multiple ovios PI calls not called, The roughing the passer on Cam, the Phantom OPI on MVS, the phantom false start on 52 (probably meant 54)when Myles was offsides, blantant holding all day on Browns OL called only once.

Im not buying it....how about not throwing to MVS 3 straight times to end the game?? and throwing go routes to Scotty Miller on 4th and 1?? And not attacking a visibly maimed MLB?? Or missed fg? Although the NFL got exactly what they wanted let's not with these ridiculous scripted theories.

Just another game with ****** calls.
 
Honestly I dont believe the NFL scripts games,

But if you dont think lots of sports games arent rigged by gamblers, you have never worked in gambling at all..

The authorities dont look for rigged games... every case of gamefixing has been inadvertently discovered by crossing over with another investigation.. so e other scam or racketeering thing and the sports fixing was just accidentally exposed...

So its way more prevalent... there is too much money for it not to be
 
REPLAY ASSIST is a complete ******* JOKE! It is used for one thing and one thing only......to manipulate the outcome of games! It is supposed to be used on every play, penalties, questionable calls, Replay Assist can actually allow for a flag to be thrown when one isn't. How did they think there was no Pass Interference on that final pass play? Ward was face guarding, made contact before the ball got to MVS and never looked back for the football but you want me to believe Replay Assist never saw that? If you believe that then I've got some oceanfront property in Bismark, North Dakota for sale.....CHEAP!

Those throws were on Rodgers. He has plenty of freedom and he was talking to MVS before each one. Not sure who to blame on the 4th down throw to Miller but the endzone throws to MVS I am putting squarely on Aaron. I would have hit Gainwell and given him a chance.

Horse races and boxing matches are rigged regularly

Abd we know pro abd college sports have been rigged, and honestly if not for other investigations nobody would have ever even known... just because the NFL hasnt had one exposed doesnt mean it doesnt happen... it absolutely does because there is wayyy too much money at stake

That logic does not compute, sorry. Show me actual evidence then you can crow all you like.

I don’t know what would be involved in rigging a game. Baltimore beat GB just yesterday . So that means that the decision to rig the game and get everyone on board came down in less than a day?

Maybe it was rigged that Pittsburgh would beat Detroit, and Baltimore would beat GB, and the Clowns would beat Pitt just so Pitt and Baltimore play for the division title?

IMO if you could claim any game was rigged it was Pitt vs Det…. Which it wasn’t, except if you’re a Lions fan.

People talk about games being rigged but I’ve never heard anyone explain or even speculate how it would actually be carried out in the NFL.

It would take a lot. But a referee could determine close calls. That probably is a more realistic in some situations.

No need to do it with the Steelers though as they will shoot themselves in the foot without anyone else helping out.
 
REPLAY ASSIST can easily be used to alter a call or overturn a penalty flag to effect the outcome of a drive and influence the outcome of a game and you wouldn't even know it! IMO it happened today....both times MVS was involved in an OPI.....Replay Assist we are told is used on every play.....well if it is it wasn't used properly to overturn the call against MVS for OPI. However later in the 3rd Quarter it was used on a completed pass to MVS as the flag was picked up after the completion by Replay Assist. It was also used today in the Bills game after a Fair Catch was interfered with but no flag was thrown against the Bills. After Replay Assist the Bills were flagged for Interference on the Fair Catch.

You are being played like a SAP on every play as a fan and you have no idea it's even happening!

I actually feel bad for the fans but even worse for the players who don't realize the impact Replay Assist is having on the outcome of NFL games while they are playing their ***** off and taking brutal hits and laying their bodies on the line for the game they love and not knowing the full scope of what's really happening out there!

If you look at it with an open mind it's hard to not believe what your eyes are witnessing!

Player led point shaving or ref led penalties called/ not called

It gets caught in basketball a bit more... its really hard to catch without a confession

The Colombo mob bought a sports agency in the 80's
Ultimately all they could get them on was fraud for secretly signing players too early, but much later some involved explained the mob wanted early associations with players because they often would end up betting with them then being beholden to them to do more illegal things.

Basically the only way point shaving gets caught is if someone flips on the scheme, like henry hill ( from goodfellas) did in real life...
 
Tomlin teams are NEVER prepared and run an offense that would make a cave man blush. They also play too much prevent like a scared puppy. There's no conspiracy in that.
Nope no conspiracy needed for the Steelers they will give you the game on a silver platter.

Someday I’ll tell yinz about the Pittsburgh Connection that is mentioned in that movie..
But right now I believe I have too many good years left in me yet..
