if it's fixed why would they let the game be that close where a crazy play could screw up their plans?
Flags and a game being fixed doesn't guarantee anything. But on the whole, bad calls can tip odds in the favor of other teams.

They clearly showed up today and played to win. Just didn't work out.

or they figured they may actually win and started to tone it down.

I don't know, but if that drive continued the Dolphins may score and win the game there. I just can't see why you'd throw a flag on that play? Maybe you could explain it to me.

I didn't get that game were the saints winning?

They weren't. They were only down 10 with plenty of time left. Brees needed to drive it and he threw a pick 6 and sealed the loss. Something he's done more than maybe any starting QB in the league yet he gets no blame for it anything...ever.

Dont think they ever had the lead. They were mounting a comeback and it was a doable thing for a little while.

they had almost no shot of winning before that pick.

3 minutes left in their own territory down by 10.

Against the Rams, they had plenty of chance to get 10 points.

onside kick or fumble by jackson were the only ways. extremely slim.

bad calls are going to happen, refs aren't watching slow motion on tv. The Giants won, that hurts the Cowboys, must be a fixed game. That pretty much covers it.
