Do you think the NFL football is rigged?

[bh6676r942]

You think that NFL football is rigged! I've heard it said over and over that NFL football is Rigbie calls the players are supposed to be some of the best in the country but at like idiots on the field botching plays and simple passes and missing close up field goal kicks! Its as if these players are paid millions of dollars extra to do this crap just so that a particular team will win for a particular reason, like it's Peyton Manning's last year and if he loses it'll be horribly unfair -_- which is a motive for several rigged games to get him to the Super Bowl, I'm seriously looking for insight into this so somebody please help thanks

I certainly don't believe the outcome of games is rigged, and I don't believe players intentionally make bad plays (although some certainly give that impression - *cough* Matt Schaub *cough*).

Obviously players on bad teams aren't going to be motivated to put in the same effort towards the end of the season, and coaches will be more inclined to rest injured players, which leads to allegations of "tanking". I couldn't really blame teams if they are tanking on purpose - that's really the fault of the league system, rather than the teams.

On the other hand a lot of calls are not clearcut, and if a decision is 50:50 (which it very often is on things like "holding" calls), I do believe the officials are going to side with one team over the other, more often than not.

While I'm certainly rooting for the Seahawks, I don't see how you can argue that the Broncos don't deserve to be in the Super Bowl.

It's not rigged. They are humans, plays get botched. Even simple ones. If you think about it when you're on offense every play that isn't a touchdown is a botched play. The plays aren't designed for the defense to stop them.

Thanks for BA

No. Its just that you spend way too much time on the internet.

I will admit that I'm a level 10 after all and I've been on this site since August, but my assumption did not come from the Internet

[DrewCali]

You can't tell me your assumption comes from hard evidence right? I got friends that play ball in College, and one in the NFL. They'd laugh at you if you said something silly like this.

[bh6676r942]

Well of course it was rig and they were paid hundred million dollars to botch the field-goal and touchdown pass to guarantee the other team victory, they wouldn't tell you, to keep their money, so what hard evidence could possibly exist it would be elusive, I'm not saying it's Rigged I hope it's not but how can anyone be sure it's not, what if there was a one in 1000 chance of being suspected, The one in 10,000 chance of being caught red-handed

[DrewCali]

Go to college, play football, get inside the world of football, and then come back and talk to me. Your speaking from blatant ignorance.

I doubt it.
