Point shaving in the nfl?

I think if the NFL was fixed in any way, the Bucs, a team with no fans and no national pull, with belligerent owners and a maverick coach, would've never been allowed to win a super bowl. So if it's fixed, it's only been going on since 2003 at the earliest.

I have thought something is going on with the NFL for about a decade, too many good "storylines" and odd things.  They are an entertainment company so they can legally rig anything.  It wouldn't surprise me at all.

2 many moving parts for a cover-up.  

Cover up involving select government officials. Yes

Cover up involving upper management in a corporation . Yes

Cover up involving 53 individuals plus coaches and upper management from different backgrounds pay and social standings?  Nope.

    • Holy poo... we have allowed the fewest goals in the playoffs, total. Including the teams that lost in the first round... lmao
    • It was nothing. It was a nice run in an easy schedule that did nothing but lose us DJ Moore and a lot more. We were 2-15 in 2023. Based on your logic, that winning finish should have been a launching point. For as much as you want to say we shouldn’t have taken a risk, you still can’t admit that the plans we tankers laid out were proven correct. There’s no revisionist history. We said we should have traded Burns to the Rams. We said we should have sold off anything not bolted down like Brown and Horn and even Icky because they were in the 5 year plan. There is no disconnect, we tried to keep winning and draft a rookie QB and we lost about 4 1st round picks of value that could have been given to the guys you think might be the right crew.
    • You’re assuming Fitt still gets fired at the same time. That’s the problem with all these hypothetical hindsight thoughts. If we had a fire sale so to speak I’m not sure the GM gets fired a year or two later due to a bad roster and bad record. Fitt went into win now mode, made it seem like we were only a QB away “we won’t drafting this high again” trading picks for vets etc and when he couldn’t show results he was fired. I’m sure this was all mentioned in his GM interviews. What’s his plan to turn us around and how quickly can he do it. Also you want last year’s CMC and Burns on our roster? At their price? Moving on from both was the right call, with Burns being the wrong time. If a team does a full roster strip down rebuild it can buy the GM more time as long as everyone is on the same page.
