I'm so sick of the league dictating outcomes of the games. :mad:

It's not funny...and it's a problem the league needs to address.

The "K" balls...

Not being able to challenge plays the last 2 minutes...

League handing out fines and suspensions with no partial judge.

How many more instances do fans need to realize the league is fixed????:facepalm:

I know I'll definitely be dialing in any& all American style of Footballish exploits just as soon as they become available,,,**** this sanctity of the Leagues Shield B.S. they smirkingly continue to shovel.o_O
 
Correct me if I’m wrong, but if they lost wouldn’t the Steelers have made it in?

Also would it have changed the Chargers and Pats seedings?

I don’t know those off the top of my head, but if any of the 2 or both are true it does give that “appearance” of trying the control the outcome of that game. I’m not saying they were, I’m just pointing out it’s plausible.

Wow. Information illiteracy ain't what it used to be.

"Oh these balls felt different" isn't the same as "these balls are different"

The nfl fixed the Ravens game by... making the k balls feel odd?

Well if the game was closer and it was disrupting the FGs that could do it. Not saying this is what happened, but just pointing out how that could’ve have changed the outcome. Also wouldn’t that be right? Harder/softer feel to the ball? So either over inflated, or under inflated which would making sense using the wording they used. It does make you go hmmm.

What if they kicked the altered ball and it still went through? They failed at their plan at fixing? So then any other plans relating to fixing this game fell through too, and the entire house of cards collapsed.

So we’ve now debunked the fixed outcome, or it really was fixed and everything from here on out is random? Or maybe it was a double bluff fix and it was intended to seem fixed to help the ravens win, and it’s all going according to plan!

See, when you spell it out you realize why everyone is looking at you funny. People who root for bad teams claim everyone is out to get them. How many Patriots, Steelers, Packers fans do you see complaining about it being rigged against their team? It’s just Browns, Bengals, used to be Eagles but now Cowboys fans seem to have taken their place.

But the fact is the ball didn’t go through. That’s the whole point. Look I’m not saying it happened at all, I’m just saying I can see how it can make you go hmm. I mean the team that won is making the statements when it shouldn’t matter anymore. But they feel as if they should, and you have to ask the question why?

It’s infinitely more likely the man who made the statement is just an idiot than an overarching conspiracy is going on where literally tens of thousands of former players and employees are being paid hush money so we don’t find out they’re trying to make the Texans look like a darling.

So Justin Tucker is an idiot? Along with the kicking coach who arguably coaches one of the best kickers in the game? But hey like I said not saying it’s true, but it does make you go hmm. Have a good night chief.

Yes, very possibly.
 
Who would have been fixing or altering the balls?

He made 3 of 5. His misses were from 53 and 65 yards. 53 yard kicks are difficult, and who in the hell even tries 65 yards?

You'd think the Center ,who is first to lay a hand on the ball , would scream foul to any perceived evil ****ery going on concerning the balls pressure
 
What exactly are the rules concerning those submitted balls also?
Could a team ,,,say, pre-soak them in water and recure them with some form of friction enhancing solution, or even wire brush buff up the exterior to facilitate better grip/ catch ability?
I used to recall seeing the referees call for a ball swap-out during a game at least once or twice during seasons past,and what's the ramifications of,,say,,, a receiver slathering up the inside of his forearms with slow curing spray glue or similar substances?
 
Truth is in the middle, as usual.

Yes, conspiracy theorists sometimes come up w/ some pretty cockamamie theories at times. Or a lot.

However, it's also funny when people discount the possibilities of shenanigans out of hand.

When big money is involved, there's always a good possibility of someone attempting to sway outcomes. To not believe it's even possible is naive.
