And even in this case, I seriously doubt whatever the **** we watched Sunday night was not how the NFL wanted it to play out, because I don't remember anything close to this when it comes to the volume of calls that were just completely false, and why would they start being so blatant about it now. It's a bad look for the NFL and they could do far less to steer the game in whatever direction.
The thought process in these threads makes sense though... the NFL obviously works with refs all the time, they tell them what to look for, etc.... and in theory, they would actually have to build in an effort NOT to steer games a certain way, because they could obviously accidentally do it if it's "watch these few players" and then the refs are dumbasses and don't call it both ways.
I don't think there's any "finally" about it for those reasons.... we all have our own thresholds and analysis when it comes to this kind of stuff and what's incompetence versus conspiracy and so forth and it's never, ever been this bad.

Look at my most recent post and you can see just how blatant the bias is. Tom has had 48 more combined penalty yards in 7 SBs, then he did in 3. The first downs from Penalties is the most alarming thing. Constant bailouts from the officials when no one else is getting that same treatment. In 11 games that the TomPats weren't involved in and 22 other teams were there was only 29 total first downs from penalties and TomPats had 21 in 7 games
So
7 teams = 21 firsts
22 teams = 29 firsts
That's alot of help for Tom.
