That's how you are looking at it, but not everybody agrees that it's an actual coordinated conspiracy by the league. Certainly, there have been questionable calls in the final minutes of several games. But even on questionable calls, many football fans agree with the call and many think it's a conspiracy. If you read the comments on The Youtube on a given questionable call, there is never consensus. In each and every case, commenters are divided. We are all guilty of looking a game based on who we want to win. That's human nature. The refs are either making a bad call that hurts our team or they are making a bad call that impacts a bet we made on the game.

The refs have an incredibly hard job to do. No matter what they decide, somebody is not going to like it. Do they make bad calls? Of course they do. They make errors just like the players and the coaches do. But, I think over the course of a game or a season, bad calls go both ways for a team. Personally, I don't think there is a pattern that rises to the level of a league-controlled conspiracy.

In overall penalties, the Chiefs get penalized plenty. There is no statistical evidence that they get penalized less than any other team. In fact, they are penalized more than a lot of teams.

In this particular game, the Raiders had plenty of chances to win. They just didn't.

Believe what you like, but I'm just not jumping on the tinfoil hat train. I cannot imagine why the league would want to systematically cheat in favor of one team over another or even if they did, how they would get away with it.

My high school coach used to tell us never to whine when a call was made against us. He told us instead: "Win by enough so bad calls don't change the outcome of the game." Apparently the Raiders players didn't have a coach like that in high school.

Kickbacks from Jake from State Farm.

I suspect that one of the Jets players will soon be receiving an unexpected fine from the No Fun League for criticizing the refs on social media after their game yesterday, and read news reports speculating that the dude who leveled the Jaguars QB will be suspended for the rest of the season because he had a previous $11K fine for punching a player on the opposing sideline earlier this year.....

I love the fact that ESPN is all over Russel Wilson's nuts saying he is the best and blah blah blah. The dude played against the worst defense in all of the NFL. Of course he is going to put up those kind of numbers. Dude couldn't even do shit all year and putting up mediocre numbers against decent defenses.

Well, its ESPN. Nothing matters to them except what's happened the last 5 minutes. But Wilson is actually having a pretty good season. He's certainly not as washed up as Denver Dickhead made him out to be. And passing numbers can be a little misleading. Look at the stats Jameis put up last night....almost 500 yds passing? But still lost the game.

The refs have awful this year to the point of embarrassment but I don’t believe they are favoring anyone. Not even Goodell is dumb enough to mess with the integrity of the game.

The Packers vs Lions game tonight on Thursday Night Football should be interesting, for all of the ramifications in the NFC Norris Division and NFC playoffs picture in general.....

It was a pretty good game. The Lions were ballsy going for it on 4th down before kicking the field goal to end the game. That is who they are I guess but what if that doesn't work in the playoffs or superbowl? I feel like the Lions are going to win or lose the superbowl based on a play like that.
