The more I watch the NFL the more I think the entire league is fixed. I don't think the players know, or that the coaches even know. Almost to predictable and most weeks it seems like the team moving on is the team that will provide the highest TV ratings.

 

Two weeks ago it hit me that the brothers would be playing each other in the SB… Why??? A couple of very average NFL watchers thought it would be a great story to follow and game to watch. It's all about the ratings.

Not sure if its WWE or the NFL… Every team is so darn competitive that it only takes a call or two to go the other way.

I could go on and on… but what really drives me nuts is instant replay. I like it, but how often do we watch a play over and over and can see that it's an obvious fumble, yet the ref sees it the exact opposite way. 99.9% of NFL fans see it as a fumble, but the zebra is one of the .1%ers

Please tell me you guys aren't serious? I can't say much about the AFC side of things, but San Francisco has legitimately torn their way threw the playoffs. Everyone I talked to knew Atlanta would choke. They gave up 20 to the Seachickens. I said all along if they played that way against San Francisco they would get beat. And they did! 

 

Go NINERS!! 

 

(PS – I'm going to the Super Bowl!!!)

Congrats on GOING to SUPERBOWL!! that will be SWEET!! I think we are in for a great GAME!!

I said SF D Coord should be up for HC .. .sure that D is great but he made the adjustments to stop that clinic that HOT LANTA was putting on

 

on the fixed thing i guess it is just the guy you talk to… if you dont like losing you can say you took the money instead… i do not think these guys can be bought… but that is just me

Thanks for the math help

Very cool that you're going to the SB, Guitar!  I think that you should update us, travel-blog style of your trip.

Hail, hail…

If it was fixed, this isn't anywhere CLOSE to the match-up the NFL would have wanted.  

 

Rodgers vs. Brady/Manning would have been much more lucrative for the NFL than the Harbaugh Brothers or Ray Lewis' last game.  

 

Why would they put the Bengals in the playoffs?  Why do the Cowboys always miss the playoffs?  They would be a mad money maker.  

 

Who is in on it?  The owners?  Going back, don't see Jerry Jones sitting back for that to not have success, let alone these other owners.  Just the commish?  He works for the owners, I don't think Bisctiotti and York are high on the priority list.
