LINK It is it's classified as Entertainment, not a sport, it's listed as a single entity instead of 32 separate franchises, so they can decide things in their favor, refs work for the league and are by a mandated gag order not to talk to the media, it's all rigged...

I'll move on after they fix why we lost. It's time for fans to stand up and demand some answers .

To up ratings for the rematch and keep the playoff race tight . Also NFC south title in doubt . Rematch at the Dome will garner major interest now .

I think there is an element of this in all sports. The outcome may not be rigged but they call games a certain way to benefit certain teams. NBA and MLB love game sevens.

The refs sucked


However, Brees also threw an int when we were already inside the 15 yard line late in the game down 3


So was Brees in on the fix as well?

Not fixed.

The Saints committed most of those penalties. It’s the fact that the game was called unevenly. That’s the real issue. It wasn’t called evenly. That’s it. No conspiracies. The refs didn’t give Kamara a concussion or made 5 starters leave the game due to injury.

How is that not blatantly obvious to an intelligent guy like you, les?

If the saints won it’d be all but wrapped up, now the nfc south is a blood bath with 3 crucial matchups over the next few weeks. It’s all part of the product.

Short answer? Ratings

Spayton’s play calling looked like he was trying to “throw” the game!

How come the Saints organization doesn’t step up to the plate instead of rolling over?
Cowboys and Patriots fight the league to the end.

Former Falcon player as an Official , hand picked by the league , not A part of regular crew . most first downs by penalty by any team in 20 years . Seldom called penalties flagged every time all against one team . CSP flagged for running onto the field to call A time out after he asked for it 8 times and was ignored to end the game . thats alot of stuff .

I don't think they are fixed. I do think that this multi
billion dollar league needs to take full advantage of the technology that is available and upgrade and enhance the oversight of the officiating. There is no way to see everything with the system and restrictions that are in place and the officials interpretation of the rules are at times too subjective to be impartial. If you can see 2 blades of grass turf in between a pair of cleats and the sideline then this shouldn't be out of the realm of possibilities. While at the same time not slowing the games down to a crawl.
