        Saw this from a friend on Facebook today:

        NFL teams are 90-1 since 1991 when they win time of possession, total yards, turnovers, pick up at least 25 first downs, and convert on 10 or more 3rd down conversions.

        Dallas' loss to the Jets on Sunday is the one loss.

            haha, its not rigged...the refs are human just like the rest of us...sometimes it hurts your team, sometimes it helps your team. How many mistakes did the players make last night? and yet we expect the refs to be 100% right every time?

              They seem to be further from 100% in Lambeau on behalf of the home team than anywhere else.

                If you want to waste a half hour, go out and read random stories on last night's game from around the sports world in general. Pretty much universal belief that it was an extraordinarily poorly officiated game and that the game was decided in Green Bay's favor by those bad calls.

                Then go check into Packer World. What you will see is, "well, I'll talk about the officiating only because everyone else is, but what you witnessed last night is just a small bit of good fortune shining on Green Bay after years of getting jobbed by the officials."
                That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                  Do you seriously think that officials actively decide make more calls for Team A instead of Team B? Not just football, but any sport.

                    Clearly they do in basketball since one of the refs got busted for betting on the games he was working!

                    I think there's an unconscious bias for officials who are only human reffing in front of a home crowd. Since teams like the Redskins and Chargers have home crowds populated with the opposing teams fans, this doesn't apply. But in Dallas, Green Bay, New England, etc yeah I feel they may get some calls.

                      Maybe not rigged...but to miss some of those calls as badly as they did?
                      Not a good look for the league and it is going to bring up some questions...and rightly so.

                        I know sane and intelligent people who believe this. Conspiratorial Thinking is part of our wetware.

                        The officials do not care about your team or the outcome. (Unless we're talking about Italian soccer obviously. There, everything is rigged.)

                          And the receiver who is all by himself and drops a pass that hits him in the numbers? A RB who has all sorts of room to the right, but cuts back to his left right into the line? Leon Lett touching that FG ball after it was blocked? Players do "stupid" s*it all the time.

                          Yes, there are truly "bad" calls. But they happen at the same rate (arguably even less often) than you see "bonehead" plays. This is the thing that people need to realize. It's not just 22 guys on that field that are performing at the absolute limitations of the human body. It's 29. As a sports culture, we need to start giving those 7 other guys the credit they deserve...

                            Not necessarily.

                            During the Calciopoli scandal both Pierluigi Collina (former UEFA Chief Referee Officer) and Roberto Rosetti (current UEFA Chief Referee Officer) were cleared despite being Serie A Referees at the time because “Luciano Moggi, then general director of Juventus, had described Rosetti and his colleague Collina as being too 'objective' in an intercepted telephone call. Moggi also claimed that Rosetti and Collina should be 'punished' for decisions made against Juventus in that same phone call.”

                                They lost to the Eagles at home on what was obviously pass interference and I don't remember anyone really talking about that call at all but yeah...the Packers get all the calls every week. Referees by nature do favor home teams, its natural to, but at the same time, they're not perfect and they deserve scrutiny but to claim the refs are rigging things is silly.
