I mean, the db falling down on 3&10 giving Rodgers a wide open TD is fishy. As was Jackson's decisions on 2nd and 3rd down. Is there any explanation for why he didn't throw it to Hopkins who he looked directly at and was wide open on the out route? He completes that pass and that FG is from inside the 10. Also the 3rd down almost sack/throw away was so exaggerated it almost seemed rehearsed for dramatic effect

LOOP's divot was worse than my wedge shots

Result was the same - weak and to the right

Appreciate the support brother. I think you’re really going to enjoy what we came up with for the playoffs. It’s going to get weird.

He wanted Hopkins to run down the wide open sideline.

So rather than throw it to Hopkins, who had no one within 10 yards of him and a free path down the sideline, he throws the ball away? That wasn't some miscommunication on an option route...Jackson looked directly at him, saw he was wide open and elected to throw the ball 15 yards out of bounds instead

If you watch it again Lamar is telling him to run and Hopkins stood there. Lamar ran out of field to adjust

Wait, so now it’s not just the officials, you people actually think teams are throwing games to miss the playoffs? Holy shite!

You said the DB falling down and Jackson’s decisions were “fishy”. What else does that mean?

It means it's suspicious, but nothing definitive

Not only that, but a QB whom despite winning multiple MVPs is still doubted by many as a potential big game winning QB. Seems someone would have to pay Lamar a whole shite ton more than his current contract for him to willingly make throws or throws or decisions to cost his team a playoff spot.

Suspicious that the players are in on whatever this big conspiracy is? Yeah, you’re saying players are throwing games.

Are you implying it's unreasonable to have skepticism/apprehension over potential rigging in organized sports? Forget diving into how irrational it is that fading the public yields a ~60% win rate, let's just look at history

NBA, MLB, Tennis, Boxing, Cricket, Soccer, Sumo, eSports, freaking game shows have a history littered with games being rigged. Why would you think american football is any different? Hell, Toledo's running back admitted he fumbled on purpose during the 2005 GMAC bowl and testified as only being paid $500 to do it

LINK

You want proof of a full blown league-wide conspiracy rather than that attached to a few bad actors on the same team?

lol. Have you ever played DB? Sometimes you lose your footing when planting for a change of direction. You could see a huge chunk of the crappy playing surface at Heinz field go airborne as he went down.

Yes, saying the Ravens did those things intentionally is very unreasonable.
