Are The Ref's Rigging Games

I have always laughed at people saying that but man some of the calls or non calls are adding up. You had KC's game last week where the KC player pretty much tackled the receiver in the end zone with no flag called. Then you had the Dallas player last night face mask the Giants player and they called it on the Giants player. Then there was the holding flag picked up giving Dallas a TD. Those two calls would have been a 14 point flip in the game. So what do you guys think? Are the refs favoring teams with some of these calls?

Bad calls I agree but that's not the reason the Giants lost.

The face mask called on the wrong team called back a TD the Giants made. The flags being pick up on the holding call gave Dallas a TD. So yes those two calls did make a big difference in the game. Did they change the out come no one will know but it was a difference of 14 points.

Re: Are The Ref's Rigging Games

Like any conspiracy theory, it falls down as soon as you realise any single person on teh inside could expose it. Not a single official, current or retired, or NFL staffer has ever come forward and said there's something going on. This is just a range between human error and incompetence. We've had it for years in the football leagues, especially the PL, but aside from some dodgy Asian officials, who got found out (kinda proving the point), nobody has ever found any evidence of foul play at the higher levels of officialdom. There may be some unconscious bias involved, but a conspiracy? No.

Re: Are The Ref's Rigging Games

The refs are just generally terrible with very little accountability. When they make bad calls very little happens except that they don't get to go to the Super Bowl. There needs to be better visible corrective action for the fans to know that when bad calls happen there will be accountability for those refs.

Re: Are The Ref's Rigging Games

Someone brought up a good point, why do college refs seem to be better than NFL? I thought that was kinda on point.

Also last night game was unwatchable in the second quarter, I turned it off. Too many dumb flags

Re: Are The Ref's Rigging Games

I agree with all of the points made but some of these calls have been so bad it just makes you wonder.

Re: Are The Ref's Rigging Games

I think the refs are feeling the heat and trying hard to throw the right flags. Unfortunately, the harder they try, the worse they get.

I would say because the speed of the NFL game is much much faster than that of college.

Re: Are The Ref's Rigging Games

There's def way too many inconsistencies. The refs suck and ruin games constantly. There's multiple blown calls and ahit that looks like blatant cheating every game. I will never NOT believe they aren't purposley involved in outcomes at least sometimes.
