1000% right. Thats why I said soft rigged. Its more about keeping the fans hooked, than it is who wins. I do think they want certain outcomes in playoff games. I believe that all the way. Case and point was the Gb GAME in 2014. Then the Giants niners playoff game where it was obvious. That never got called. The rigging goes up a notch in post season. I think in a small way, the deck has been stacked against us for many years. Jerry plays right into it.And what did they get? An exciting ending, just as they wanted. They don't care about who wins so much, they just want to keep it exciting. And they've figured out that calling key penalties does just that. Explains the Noncall in the NO/MINNY game to a T. Explains why no lead is safe any more.
And it's easy, because they make sure and show the fans the hold being called, and everyone goes "Yup, that was holding." Never mind the 50 previous plays where it was just as obvious.
