Wow I'm convinced that Goodell wants an 18-0 vs an 18-0 team in the Superbowl

What a ****ing joke that false start was. Unbelievable.

This only confirms that we are going to get screwed by some ******* phantom penalties too.
2 more days, Slate :laugh2:

You heard it here first. Saints and the Colts face off undefeated in Miami in Feb.

Based on the Gambler's Fallacy, I've concluded a Colt win tonight is more advantageous for the Cowboys. After all, what's the likelihood of having two 14-0 teams this late in the season?;)

About as likely as the Cowboys beating a winning team in December. :p:

Even the commentators asked why the play was allowed to continue if it were a false start. :mad:

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but it reminds me of some of the funny calls the Pats got in '07 at this time of year. I still think Caldwell was bobbling that ball (by today's rules) against the Ravens.

If two undefeated teams are playing in the Super Bowl, I may conclude that Sultan has been right all this time: The NFL is rigged.

Just saw that "false start" again..

There was no false start.


Thanks Goodell. Piece of ****.

Like beating the Saints isn't hard enough. We have to beat the refs now. Greeaaaaatttt.

It's why I don't watch much of the NBA.

That ref that got caught for betting on games only confirmed what I always thought.

Sports are rigged due to betting.

That's the greatest element of the Gambler's Fallacy: The more consecutive games the Cowboys lose in December, the more likely they are to win the next one.

For the record, the Cowboys have lost four consecutive December games and six of their last seven.

I don't seriously think they're all rigged... Otherwise I wouldn't watch.

But the NBA definitely wants 0-2 series to continue by favoring the losing team. And the BS "star system" started around Jordan's time and became a total joke. That's why a couple of the Pats games reminded me of the NBA, because it was as if the better team got the benefit of the doubt.

Pisses me off to even think about that happening in the NFL. But I wouldn't put it past Goodell.

It's all about ratings and money.

Tell me a 18-0 Colts vs an 18-0 Saints wouldn't just blow Goodells mind.

Now I have a feeling there's going to be some HUGE calls against us on Saturday if we even sniff beating the Saints. Expect a few holding calls on our last potential drive.

Goodell wouldn't get his wish.

I know it, Slate... That's what worries me. This was never a concern before... Well, except for the Stealers. But I'm afraid Goodell is stupid enough to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Oh, and Manning was just asked about going undefeated, and he said he thought that was disrepsectful to the next opponent to talk about that. Take a lesson in class, Brees.
