NYJ37/12 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I have always defended the notion that the NFL was not in anyway fixed. I still believe that players are not involved, to hard to fix a game from a players position. However I do feel that officials play too large of a roll in the outcome of games for it to not be considered. Look no further than the 2005 SB. Worst officiated game I have ever seen, and watching the JETS for over 35 years makes that a BIG statement. I will never forget in 2004 when the JETS traveled to Pittsburgh for a regular season game. The JETS were the lowest penalized team in the NFL for Edwards tenure as coach. First half stats, JETS 12 penalties, Steelers 0. Really? I know this sounds like sour grapes and maybe it is. I am really struggling today with our team not playing today. I cant be the only one who feels this way, am I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That game was the one that convinced me that we would HAVE to get the NFL package for the next season. THAT game was fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I just can't see the NFL risking billions of dollars on some guy ratting them out and exposing the fix refs are human, and they make mistakes are one or more on the take ? probably, but I would say it's point shaving for the bookies more than the league preferring iconic franchises in the SB kurt warners rams was one of the best stories of the last 25 years, and the ravens were really really boring for the average housewife and fringe fan, which is what the SB is all about, and they made it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vudu Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 The NBA already got outted for having shoddy refs. It wouldnt surprise me if the same happens in the NFL. Sometimes its just way too ******* obvious. Like the AFCCG this year! The NFL will put their wonder Boy Brady in the SB next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be more profitable for the ticket sellers to take advantage of Jet Nation. Unlike baseball, it does not matter who is in the game as people turn in irregardless. I could care less who is in championship round of a major sport. When Boston is not involved, I do not watch. Only war and a funeral have caused me to miss a Superbowl since 1979.

I am really struggling today with our team not playing today. I cant be the only one who feels this way, am I? I had that feeling at times. I found it very weird that during the "unforgettable" year of 2001 the Patriots won the superbowl with a 6th round QB and went on to be the team of the decade. To be more specific along the lines that you're talking about, let me explain. The Pats/Oakland snow playoff game...OBVIOUS bad officiating. Then come to find out years later (after that Pats win three superbowls and become the team of the decade) that the Pats were cheating by stealing signals of numerous NFL teams, and also went as far as actually taping team practices which included the practice of the 2001 SB contender Rams who they beat for their first SB in 01-02. Now granted, this is all alleged, but its only alleged because the NFL protected Bill, the Pats (and the NFL itself) by destroying evidence that these allegations were based on. So now it can only BE alleged. Originally I found it to be ironic (given the intense patriotism being expressed during that time), but as the years went by and we seen what came of it I knew that the NFL fixed it, and I dont need to see the evidence that they destroyed to know thats what happened. But as the saying goes...its all alleged. Look how they protect this entire organization from the owner on down to the QB. That level of cheating and nothing is done to the owner? You cant look at brady to violently without being hit with a 15 yard penalty. The Patriots can do no wrong in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashmouth Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 During this post season I noticed the Refs let teams play for the most part and due to that fact the Steelers Held so much it was ridiculous. They had major issues on the oline yet they were still able to perform when they should have crumbled like a house of cards. I think they called one hold on them yesterday and they were blatently holding throught the game, at times tackling DLineman and LB's. I know the old saying teams hold on damn near every play but there is a hold and then there is a blatent hold, the blatent variety should be called everytime. The crew that officiated the Jets opening day game vs the Ravens should be fired this offseason. I saw then do a few games and they sucked in those games as well. Sometimes I wonder how the NFL picks their officials, obviously they are fans of the game as well. So do they not get to officiate games vs a team they root for ?? Does the NFl even aak the question ? I wonder sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
