OFFICIAL NFL 2015-2016 Thread

[YoungJRNYfan]

Burflict was OUT OF CONTROL for the ENTIRE second half of this game, just like he was in the last matchup and just like how he was when he was caught twisting players ankles purposely multiple times this season. That hit to Antonio Brown's head was one of THEE most intentional headshots I've ever seen in my entire life and the dude should be suspended from the league for atleast all of next year. I'd rather be an arrogant team than full of uncontrollable players that do nothing but embarrass everybody associated with that shitacular organization. Pacman Jones is just as a disgrace as he ever was. I've had lifelong Steelers haters pop up and say they were glad we won in that scumbag of a city. Cincy is getting destroyed in all mediums of the media, fans on social media and everywhere else. I hope they burn that dumpster fire to the ground.

You deserve better, FF. That was a despicable display of sportsmanship I've ever watched. Both from the team standpoint and fans.

[TageRyche]

Burfict and Jones ruined my chance to say "Roll Tide" for A.J. McCarron leading a comeback win. Those bastards. So much for there being "No "I" in team".

Go rewatch that hit on Ben where Ben hurt his shoulder. And to think even I thought it was clean. The other camera shows this criminal blatantly knee Roethlisberger in the shoulder deliberately.

Fuck this guy. HE GONE.

I'd have to see that angle. At first, I assumed there was something dirty going on, so I watched all the angles. What I did notice is him scrambling to grab the ball, which made it look like he was trying to hurt him somehow, and then he gets up and runs. Like a mad scramble was my impression. But again, I must not have seen the angle you saw.

I think their was some really shitty behavior on the part of CIN, and it bothers me that they acted that way, but PIT was not by any means innocent. So don't get too upset.

[YoungJRNYfan]

Dude, Buflict was out of control the entirety of the game and the refs AND the Cincinnati staff had NO control over their players at all. Bengals players were spitting in our offensive lineman's face and before Burflict hurt Ben, he was going after David DeCastro's knees and diving into them, just like how he blatantly TWISTED CAM NEWTON'S ankles twice and just last week, took the Ravens TE Max Williams out with a blatant head shot AWAY from the play. The Steelers controlled themselves enough and never took it to the lengths to lose the game. The refs lost control, but the Bengals took it to a level where I haven't seen before.

You be the judge on Burflict's action with Ben on the ground. No place for this garbage, I don't care if players can't handle coach's talking smack!

Yea, looks a lot different from that angle.

The whole thing was definitely ugly and not worthy of the NFL. I was telling my son throughout the 4th qtr how upset I was at his behavior. And that shit dancing on the PIT side. Whole thing was shitty. It's too bad there are players like that. I wish everyone was more like Rice (Niner Rice, not Raider Rice). Work hard, run the play, get to the huddle or sideline. Don't be a thug or a pampas ass.

When the dude ran into the tunnel, I told my son that dude was unaware or karma.

[YoungJRNYfan]

Usually after a victory, it's high spirits but win or lose, this game stained the league and the Wild Card Round. It was ridiculous and both teams deserved to lose. It just happened to be that Cincy deserved it more and that's hard to do in an out of control environment when all that's needed is smarts and composure. It takes two to tango, the Steelers are just as guilty but they were baited all game by players going after their legs, getting spit on and players stepping on our feet. Of course it was going to get ugly when Burflict said before the game that he hates Pittsburgh and to expect a personal foul or two.

Well, they got two.

Denver already yappin'. After what transpired in Cincy, these guys are already on the radar to do something dumb and provoke some shit. Maybe Denver will do something retarded to put the Steelers in the AFC Title Game. I hope they do.

In all seriousness. It can't be any more obvious that most if not all NFL games are outright rigged by the NFL themselves. The league exists strictly for money and nothing else. It's all about TV ratings and computer hits, making MAMMOTH amounts of money from sponsors. The more drama there is in games, the higher the ratings, the more money they make.

I knew last year that the Super Bowl was being scripted to give Tom Brady his final Super Bowl title. And this year it's being scripted for Peyton Manning to win his final Super Bowl title. I told friends of mine before the playoffs even started that this is the year that the NFL has Peyton Manning win his final Super Bowl.

I was accurately predicting to friends of mine what was about to happen throughout yesterdays Broncos/Patriots game a head of time.

As soon as the Patriots missed the extra point I told the people that I was watching the game with that they (The NFL) would have the Patriots get a touchdown in the final seconds of the game to pull within 2 points of the game, and that they would fail on the 2 point conversion. I kept telling the ones that I was watching the game with that there was too much time left on the clock for the NFL to have the Patriots to get a touchdown when there was 5 minutes left in the game. That wouldn't have supplied enough drama. They had to have the Patriots final touchdown happen with 30 seconds or less to go in the game.

I predicted that they would have Rodgers throw a Doug Flutie like touchdown at the end of regulation in the Packers/Cardinals game before it happened.

I can in all confidence say that every Super Bowl has been rigged since at least as far back as 1980. And in all likely-hood all of the Super Bowls have been rigged. And it's not just the Super Bowls that are rigged. They decide at the beginning of each season which teams that they are going to have play in the Super Bowl later that season.

I was fairly certain on my own that most NFL games are rigged going back to the 1980's. But in the last couple of years I've read books and website articles that do a great job of explaining how and why the games are rigged. And ever since then it's like I have the script to most games in my hand before it's even played.

It's like when I watched the WWF back in the 80's. You knew that each time Hulk Hogan was wrestling that he was gonna be getting his ass kicked at some point in the match, then he was going to do that thing where he would shake and slowly get up while his opponent kept beating on him to no effect, and then Hogan would win the match.
In NFL games, the fumbles, interceptions and such are just as predictable, with the games coming down to the final seconds of the games.

By the way, it's not just the NFL that's scripted like that. The NBA and MLB are just as rigged. Every NBA Finals and MLB World Series has been predetermined for many, many years now.

with all of these super dramatic endings of games, if it seems to good to be true, that's because it's not true.

Whenever you watch NFL, NBA or MLB games, just realize that basically, you're just watching the WWF or WWE.

I don't watch NHL games, but I have no doubt that they are equally rigged.

[Memorex]

In all seriousness. It can't be any more obvious that most if not all NFL games are outright rigged by the NFL themselves...

I have three issues with this.

1. The number of people that must remain silent. And not all of them are the brightest folks or have the smallest egos.
2. Put a couple thousand of the country's best players into a league and I think all the things that we see happen can and would happen. There would be enough drama to go around no matter what.
3. If rigged since 1980, you'd have a larger variety of teams winning rather than have dynasties. For example, Minnesota would have already had one or two Super Bowls to support their rapid fans. Buffalo would have won one of those damn things at least.

#1. Professional athletes in NFL, NBA and MLB have to sign what is basically a "gag-agreement" that they wont discuss the rigging of games. Also, you have to keep in mind that the mainstream media will NOT report the fact that most games are rigged. The networks, magazines, newspapers etc, etc all make big money off of those leagues, and if they reported the fact that the games are rigged, they'd be costing themselves a huge amount of money. And whatever reporters/stations/newspapers that took part in the report would be fired or face other negative consequences as a result.

#2 I kind of agree with you on that, but not fully.

#3 The leagues like story-lines that help get ratings and website hits. An example is the idea that certain teams are cursed. Examples like that are the Cubs, Red Sox and Indians in Baseball, the Browns and Lions in football. They promote the idea that the entire city of Cleveland is cursed in all sports. They also promote things like the Sports Illustrated cover curse, or the Maden cover curse.

Look at Cleveland. Since most of you who are reading this are not from Cleveland like I am, you may not be as familiar with these events as I am? But just in my lifetime if you look at all of the historical collapses that Cleveland teams have had, there's just no way that that many major collapses would happen to the sports teams of just one city in that time period.

If you're not familiar with these events, look them up... "Red Right 88" "The Drive" "The Fumble" "The Shot" "The Shot 2" Jose Mesa's collapse in the 9th inning of game 7 of the 1995 World Series. And other lesser known collapses like the Browns VS the Steelers in the 2002 playoffs, or Joel Skinner giving Kenny Lofton the signal to stop at third base for no apparent reason and costing the Indians the chance to possibly go to the World Series in 2007. There are other games involving the Browns, Indians and Cavs that had completely unrealistic dramatic collapses at the end of the game, but they were regular season games, and I'd have to Google those specific dates/games to list them.
My point....
No one city would have all of those collapses with all 3 of their major teams without it being story-line driven.
The owners change, the general managers change, the coaches change, the players change, the venues change, and yet Cleveland can never win one major title in over 50 years???

The Chicago Cubs can't win one World Series in well over 100 years???

The reverse can be said too....
Look at certain teams or cities that seem to have every unrealistic thing go right for them game after game year after year. Or how all 3 or 4 of the sports teams (In one city) suddenly get "really good" at the exact same time after being nothing special for a long stretch.

For those of you who are not aware of this...
The owners of sports teams are legally allowed to stage their games. The only thing that the leagues are promising you is entertainment, not that the games are legitimate.

[slucero]

well considering what Carolina did to Seattle and Arizona.. the SB should be a total blowout..

heck just looking at both teams previous 2 games.. its a hard bet to think the broncos D is gonna able hold the panthers to a point number that the broncos can beat (20 points)...

I agree, if the Super Bowl is played legitimately, Carolina should win very easily. I just don't think that it will be played legitimately.

Johnny Manziel's father worried QB won't 'live to see his 24th birthday'

If Johnny Manziel doesn't receive help, he won't make it to his next birthday, his father told The Dallas Morning News on Friday.

He was so obviously the next Ryan Leaf in making it wasn't even funny. How any football professional could have drafted him, much less in the first round is inexplicable.

Oh that's right it was Cleveland.......

Johnny Manziel Threatened To Kill Himself And His Then-Girlfriend, According To A New Report

The Browns drafting Manziel was strictly about money. They knew that they would sell more tickets/suites/jerseys etc,etc, if they drafted him.

Very few Browns fans wanted the Browns to draft him. I myself started swearing (In anger) like crazy when his name was announced as the Browns pick. I would not have drafted him any earlier than the 5th round, if even then? He has minimal skill, and there were WAY TOO MANY red-flags about the guy going into the draft.

I don't want to believe you, but here in the third quarter it sure seems like someone is making Carolina play dead.

I wish the games were all legitimate, but they're not.

Like I said in another post. I pretty much figured out that the games were rigged way back when I was still a teenager in the 1980's. Back then I thought that they were strictly rigged by the mafia, and that it wasn't all games that were rigged.

I started realizing a number of years ago that the leagues themselves were rigging the games. And then I read a bunch of books and websites explaining how everything works with advertising money and ratings. I didn't mention this in any of my other posts, but last year I was telling my friends that I was watching the Super Bowl with that I was positive that Seattle was going to turnover the ball at the goal-line on that play at the end of the game. I was 99% sure that they were going to have Tom Brady win one last title, and do it in a dramatic fashion. And then BAM, interception in the end zone, Patriots win. What coach worth a damn would have called a pass play in that situation?

The NFL has certain teams that they love, and they script the games in those teams favor. They love the Steelers, Patriots, Giants, Ravens and one or two other teams.

The NFL themselves are manufacturing scandals lately for publicity. "Tapegate" "Bounty Gate" "Deflategate" and the Peyton Manning HGH scandal. Those scandals are generating lots of viewers on ESPN and other sports shows, as well as internet hits which makes the NFL and it's sponsors a lot of money, and it distracts from the bigger picture that the games are outright rigged by the leagues. The leagues can live with fans thinking that players or teams cheat, because they know that people will still watch the games and buy the merchandise. But as soon as everyone realizes that the leagues themselves are outright rigging the games, then people will stop watching.

Like I said, the mainstream media make billions of dollars off of the sports leagues, so they will never admit that the leagues rig the games themselves. It's alright to report a certain player or team "cheating," but they will not report the fact that the leagues are basically the WWE, all scripted.

As soon as the majority of people start to realize that the games are scripted, the leagues will start new scandals to make it look as if any rigging is being done by "Outside forces," and that they were not aware of it, and those "Outside forces" will be punished.

Again, remember, it is NOT illegal for the NFL, NBA or MLB to rig their games. The only thing that they are promising anyone is that they will be entertained by the games, not that they are legitimately played.

I already know that a lot of you who are reading this are going to think that I'm being paranoid or a "conspiracy theorist," but continue to pay attention, and over time I think that most of you will realize that the NFL,NBA and MLB games are rigged by the leagues themselves. It's all about ratings, which make the leagues billions and billions of dollars.

I was 99% certain that they had plans for Peyton Manning to win a final title this year, just like I was 99% sure that the plan was for Tom Brady to win one more (and likely his last) title last year.

All right, let the J/S bashing begin.

the only way that game would have been rigged is Cam was in on it.
He definitely does not need money to sway the game.
He just flat all played badly.

Yes, it basically is pro wrestling in terms of realism.

Yes, Cam Newton was in on it. All of the players are in on it. It's in their contracts when they sign that they will do as they are instructed by the league, and they will not go public with that. They would get the $hit sued out of them if they go public with that. Plus, they would be hated by teammates.

I used to work with someone who had played in the NFL. He was only a backup player, and only played for like 3 seasons. He used to hint at the fact that the games were not what they seemed. And he played in the mid 1980's. The fixing is even more blatant in more recent years than when he played. The place that he and I worked at would have football pools every week during the football season. There were about 70 guys and maybe 5 women that would bet on the company football pools on a regular basis. He and I were the only ones that ever bet by the theory that the games were rigged. And it was constantly him or I that won the pool. I'm not saying that no-one else ever won, but he or I would win 4 out of every 5 weeks.
