I dont know if I want to watch this, I think it will be weak

Oh boy heeeeeeres Aikmen and Joe Buck!

I like the thought that Al Davis, who condoned cheating FOR his team, and who sued the league at one point, was okay with the league being rigged (tuck rule being the worst), but didn't say anything to that effect.

You really think that these owner invest hundreds of millions or billions of dollars into owning an NFL team with the main goal of seeing their team winning? Lol.

So why rig it for NE. Wouldn’t it make more sense to rig it for a team in a higher populated area like CA, TX, or NY?

They are called the patriots and wear red white and blue... do the math.

They're not deciding outcomes of individual games.

Fournette only averaged 3.2 ypc and missed a throw to win the game Ineffective with 24 careies

Bias happens, bad calls happen— the Patriots are not winning because of rigging.

they are just flat out better at getting the most out of their players, training guys up, making in game adjustments and having an extra plan for 4th quarter.

there are much bigger markets than New England. Rigging would be smarter for New York, Los Angeles. Philadelphia, Chicago and others that are Bigger markets than New England.

I hate the win all the time too, but instead of making up stupid excuses, I wish our team would pull apart how their organization works and recreate it here.

I am joking, I think.

So they are just making it easier for them to win? How does that work? Why does NE benefit and not the LA?

Honestly, that first Super Bowl and the tuck rule bullcrap was a direct response to 9/11. What better for your average NFL viewing moron (not real hardcore football fans but average casual viewers) than to see PATRIOTS winning the Super Bowl after 9/11 and decades of sucking?

I think we were the first to break out the full field length flags before a game.....am I right????

NFL rigged, Moon landing faked, Space aliens control the gubmint, and bunicorns are real.  All have about the same chance of being true. 

The Money argument is ludicrous.  The amount of money they make is the same regardless of who is in the Superbowl.  If they were all that concerned about the ratings, and the NFL was rigged, the Eagles and Vikes would not be in this game.  The Packers and Cowboys would be.  Jacksonville would not be in the AFC championship game. 

Most of the penalties called were legit.  A couple were borderline.  Jacksonville lost because its offense stopped scoring, and its defense wasn't going to stop Brady forever.  In short, they lost because New England is better,  Period, end of discussion.
