NFL Playoffs

[Shocker]

@Mr. Scot I remember back in the 70s when the referees were seen as having amazing integrity.  They were viewed as keepers of the game and bad calls were devastating.  No one outside of the mafia could sway these refs.  It is NOT like that now.  At all.  It is a true conspiracy for ratings.  If it wasn't so obvious it could be questioned but I remember how it used to be.

Texans have an elite defense and a really good young QB with 3 years left of reasonable cap hit. They have weapons to spare. Just need Diggs and Dell to get healthy. Improve the oline and place kicker, man up and stop making silly mistakes in the playoffs. Nobody's coming to save you. Nobody feels sorry for you.

Diggs is a FA

So just because the Cowboys and Steelers don't have current dynasties you don't believe it?

Ok, just go ahead and ignore all the horseshit calls that the Patriots and now the Chiefs get. They literally made a new rule after Brady went down that year.

It's not about helping old dynasties. It's about maintaining the current one.

Every decade has had a dynasty franchise. Is that coincidence?

Its one of the reasons I don't believe it.  The other is that conspiracies are mostly gibberish anyway.

The Superbowl, the playoffs dominate the ratings.  They dominate if the Chiefs are there, if the Panthers are there, or if the Dolphins are there.  They don't really care who gets there.

Dynasties are part of professional sports and always have been. Whether its the 1920's Yankees, the Celtics in the 60's, some Hockey team I don't care about etc...

When you're already on top, the more calls you get. Have you not noticed that? 

The rich get richer in that respect.

I'm thinking he'll be back. Especially since Dell may miss the whole season, if he even  comes back at all.

I checked and after the Mixon touchdown, the Texans ran the ball one time for the remainder of the game. It's almost like after the Fairbairn missed XP, the offense played as though they were down multiple scores.

I wonder if sometimes coaches get so caught up in the moment, they lose track of what they should be doing.  Or maybe its the mantra of putting the game in the hands of their star qb's.

I think all this conspiracy stuff is just so much bull.  

No one will ever convince me that the NFL helps any franchise when the two most popular franchises haven't seen a SB in 15 years.  In fact, I don't think the Steelers or Cowboys have made a championship game in that amount of time, but I am not sure about that.  

In fairness, the Cowboys and Steelers haven't played well enough recently to be in position to benefit from favorable calls. Also, I still remember that Steelers vs Seahawks Super Bowl. I may not care much for the Seahawks, but man, it sure looked like the referees were doing everything in that game so that Cowher could finally get a ring.

Wake up, watching Super Bowl 50 should have been plenty of proof.

Whatever the case, it's somewhat similar to what Canales does from time to time, calling pass after pass after pass. You're just begging for the defense to tee up on it and get your QB in big trouble, especially when your O-line isn't  the best in pass protection already.
