Lmao.. yeah I know.. and the moon landing was faked.

We will win some games we shouldnt and lose some we shouldnt.. thats football.

Thats the great thing about sport.. we think we know.. but ya never know ;)
Average teams lose games they shouldn’t. Teams with SB aspirations do not. The Cardinals are one of the bottom five teams in the NFL starting a nobody at QB and they made the Cowboys look soft, undisciplined and unprepared.

Seems to me that the Cowboys bought into their own hype. Sitting players that you need just to rest them? Players looking disinterested on the sideline? Continuously committing boneheaded penalties? Looks like they though they’d just waltz in and get an easy victory.

It was an embarrassment from the FO to the water boy.

This game will come back to haunt the team down the stretch. You have to beat weak NFC opponents when you have the ability.

The fix was in for the game. The line moved from -14 to 10.5 in the 36 hours before the game. Diggs was not worth that many points. Guarantee somebody got rich off this game. If the league does not investigate this game than that tells me the nfl it’s self is predetermine these games.
Vegas has sources too...

Tyron, Zack and Biadsz did not Practice in any contact stuff. Coupled with Diggs season ender

Injuries of this magnitude will always move the line

1. The line was too big to begin with. Cards were 2-0 ATS coming in and had lost by single digits in each game
2. Late addition to the injury reports. 3 starting OL going down is big.
3. A lot of money comes in late and can move the line. Typically fans bet early in the week and gamblers bet late. Homers drove the spread up after last weeks game and the smart money and the injuries brought it back down.

Vegas doesn’t like lines that move so much. Vegas wants balanced books because the vig is really where they make their $.

What was the over/under and what did that move too?

So, the NFL needs to investigate a point shaving incident but also per the "CBA" games can be predetermined.


"We've investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing."

I don't believe in conspiracies at all.

But the way this week went down, with 4 pro bowlers suddenly injured from nothing at all, was really weird. Combined with the laughable referring, it doesn't look good.

With the rise in acceptance of gambling, I really don't think it's far off to think some games may get fixed. If there's money to be made, people will do just about anything

Ah yes. Total fix that the Cowboys allowed almost 200 yards rushing by the half.

This is why the entire league hates our fanbase.

I tend to think all sports are rigged to some level or degree. Not sure how, but I know one thing is certain. Everything that involves men and lots of money will never be above corruption.
To be completely honest with you, I don't disagree all that much. I just think it's hilarious that this "injustice" is never spoken of or worked against when we win and then it's the shot in the dark go-to when we lose. Either you hate injustice in any form or you only care about you and yours and principle can take a hike when inconvenient.

They were all added late too. They set those guys out to rest them. All three could have played. Cowboys threw this game and that’s what needs investigated.
They did what?
:lmao:
I'm not laughing at your comment. I'm laughing at the thought that MM or Jerry, or whomever, would be so arrogant.
If I were a Cardinal player, I'd be offended and played with anger in my eyes....and thy did.

so its rigged because you werent smart enough to realize the fact that all 3 pro bowl lineman were announced to be out before the game?

do you think something like that might affect the line?

Your theory and the math only works if the Cowboys win somewhere between 10 to 14 points. Instead the opposite happened. On the gambling sites and in casinos, the Cardinals won this game something like 39 to 16.
