JH96GT *OFFICIAL* 2010 NFL Thread

Is it just me or did the penalties seem to favor the Saints? I have never been a believer in fixed games, but tonights game may have swayed me. There were some real horse chit calls made against the vikes tonight and everytime there was a Saints penalty it was offset by a penalty against the Vikes. Not accusing anyone, but that challenge by Childress that was ruled an incomplete pass was a chitty call.

I also heard the line in Vegas was that the Saints would win by 5... final score in the game Saints 14 - Vikings 9... hmmmmm :scratch:
 
a wins a wins :shrug:

I thought that call against Brees at the beginning was BS

No question a win is a win, and the vikes had a couple of opportunities to win the game handed to them. I still wonder about officials though. There's a lot of money on some of those NFL games and do you really think it is that unreasonable for those ref's to be influenced financially or threatened by the mafia? Or for that matter some of the players? I certainly don't.

You just said you didn't really believe in "fixed games" until last night, but by the above statement, it sounds like you are full fledged conspiracy theorist. :shrug:

I was always really skeptical, but after watching that game it really started to sink in. Not saying there are many people involved because if there were we'd have heard about it. Perhaps there is just a couple people though trying to throw the game... I fully acknowledge that it's a bold accusation, but I do still wonder...
 
I don't think the Mafia is to interested in rigging NFL games. Do you think favre would come back for another year to put his body through hell knowing that the game was rigged and his chances of winning it all were that much less b/c of it??????
