I often argue against "The NFL is scripted" nutters

IMO if it were scripted, the Giants and Jets would be good, the Cowboys would be winning more, the NFL would not want Mahomes and Burrow out of the post season.

America has had enough of Mahomes and State Farm. And nobody gives a **** about Cincinnati except for WKRP

Not true. No game was slotted into any time slot until the end of the Sunday night game.

Actually, it was. Someone here posted it in another thread, and I was like "What?!" looked it up and saw that it was slated for 8:20PM. When I told my son about it and looked it up again to show him it changed to TBD. I wish I would have taken a screen scrape of it.

Exactly how much and of what were you drinking/smoking during the game?

Seems awfully convenient the league changed the gametime back just before your son could see it. They might be watching you.

****Cue the "Twilight Zone" music******

Maybe because the Jets are so bad that even scripting wouldn’t help. LOL

They did get to the AFC title game against the Steelers awhile back.

They only lost by five points, so you'd think the refs could have squeezed it out if they wanted to.

It doesn’t make be believe that the game is rigged, it makes me believe that the officiating is terrible.

MLB plays a 162 game schedule and officiating is a full time job.
The NBA plays an 82 game and officiating is also a full time job.

The NFL plays a 17 game schedule and the refs tend to their real jobs during the week.
The quality just isn’t there.

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's all about money and getting that prime time game is all Goddell cares about. They are getting a lot of flak now for how crooked they are. It could destroy the NFL.

Yeah. I just put that video up because I thought it was interesting.

The average starting pay is about 100k...that quickly goes up to 250k after a few years. So they are well paid. I think the problem is they should be full time and not employed elsewhere or small business owners who might have other things on their mind as they are looking for holding on the offensive line.

Make them full time. In the off season have them constantly training. I read an article that said doubling their salaries to have them full time would only cost the multi billion dollar in profits NFL 20 million per year...yet they won't do it.

Create a points system where after so many blatant errors you are removed. I'm sure plenty of people would want that 500,000 dollar job.
