NFL is 4 quarter Wrestling
- Thread starter Ranchdawg
- Start date
The "it was rigged" argument loses a lot of luster for me when the game ends up being a beatdown where one team didn't even score a touchdown. Officiating didn't have anything to do with KC's o-line getting thoroughly dominated all night. That was the difference in the game. Even if you think the refs gave Tampa two touchdowns, take those off the board and they still win.
People don't understand how silly they sound when they ***** about officiating. I used to do it too. All you have to do is INTENTIONALLY watch the officiating over a period of time, you'll see that bad calls tend to even out over time. Don't get this twisted, I mean BAD calls. Well-coached teams tend to have less penalties, but truly bad calls are a matter of luck and fall around randomly. MSU has gotten their fair share of calls though we don't often like to admit it.
We were called for holding 40 times in SEC games one season
While our opponents were called only 4. That is not "evened out". You get jaded when you know the facts sometimes. If you are a second tier SEC team and you get good watch for yellow hankies! Don't know about the NFL so I won't comment.

I don't think 'good' officiating would have helped KC one bit. KC got their butts manhandled at the line if scrimmage on both sides of the ball. This was a beat down that no amount of officiating, good or bad, could overcome.
Joe Lee Dunn said it so if you don't believe it so be it.
Jackie Sherrill was our coach. In fact, JWS was threatened with suspended for taking evidence to the SEC office showing the bias by SEC officials. So I'm sure y'all are right and he was wrong. https://www.espn.com/ncf/news/2002/1011/1444545.html

This times 1000. I predicted in a thread a couple of weeks ago that Tampa's defense will be prepared and will keep KC's offense in check.
Ranch dawg is right.
It was a synchronized effort by all to bring needed attention to the salaries of offensive tackles

Don't know about the officiating, but what I did see
TB running backs getting 6 to 9 yards on a reglular and consistent basis.
Brady playing a solid game.
The KC qb being relentlesy pursued.
Game over.

KC never had a touchdown denied by a penalty and never scored anything but field goals.
Have another thought?
I'm not sure that the winner of the Super Bowl is preordained, but I do agree with this: the NFL, like all other professional sports, is mostly about "entertainment" rather than truly competitive sports.
Just like the WWE.
We used to laugh at professional wrestling . . . now were laughing at all professional "sports."
This problem originates at the first sighting of the participation trophy.
As I stated, Joe Lee Dunn said it so if you think he is a liar
that's your prerogative. Personally, I believed him. Why did JWS go to the SEC office?

I know this will piss a bunch of people on here off but I'll say it since so many think the sport is pure. After Katrina I told my wife that New Orleans would win the Super Bowl within 3 years. Go look at history. Depending on your perspective you might think it is a good thing that the NFL is so benevolent to help downcast cities. Professional and some college sports are all about demographics and money. You've got to supply an exciting product to maximize the income. Couple that with the gambling and you've got great motivation to insure the results go the way you want them. People complain that we don't get the exposure preseason on the college football shows. Why should we? We have a pitiful demographic.
