Is the NFL fixed ? - After watching that Bills debacle

Anything to justify the refs.


I don’t want to say it’s rigged between the players, but the officiating itself can change games pretty drastically

Rules like this give WAY too much room to "amend" the outcomes of games. We have all seen such passes be catches, and/or touchdowns.

It was a bad call and highlights the massive flaw in replay assist. At least give the impression to go through the process because every other time the receiver has possession and is down by contact, they keep possession. Is it fixed? What incentive does the NFL have to keep Josh Allen from advancing to the AFC Championship game?

I think they need the transparency of the ACC review where you listen to the explanation yourself. Watched a few of those. Really appreciated

Officials need to be held accountable. The replay stuff is way too dramatic and the nfl constantly has to justify the calls when fans criticize it

Yeah, that’s a tough call on that play.
Half the people love it half the people hate it.
Not much you could do about something that happens simultaneously in a split second.
I believe the biggest thing the NFL can do to eliminate any perceived favoritism or fixing of outcomes of games is to reduce the passing interference penalty to 15 yards. Basically put the college football pass interference, penalty in place in the NFL
That will stop a lot of games of being decided on some fluke penalty because a quarterback just throws the ball 50 yards down field. It doesn’t take much skill or talent to do that, and for that to decide outcomes of football games is criminal.
No pun intended

The problem with the 15-yard penalty is DBs that get burnt in the NFL are smart enough to tackle the receiver to prevent the big play.
