I've been watching the NFL for over 25 years and every year I say to myself "holy shit its crazy this year" and the reason for that is because holy shit its crazy! You think the NFL operates like the WWE?? c'mon man! Think about what you're saying...Last night if "they" really didn't want Dallas to cover they wouldn't have overturned the call on the fumble leading to the Bryant TD.It was surely a fumble and they got the call right but if it were fixed that would be a terrible move and you could have made the same argument for saying its rigged for Dallas had they covered after that.Are all the games rigged,or just those you lose money on? Maybe its a primetime thing.....Dak sliding inches short was not rigged but rather a mistake on his part. Head first out of bounds getting a 1st down and Dallas eats that clock.. cirque du soleil loved the choreography on that one as Dak executed with perfect grace.
The REAL issue is the officiating! The replacement refs of years ago were terrible and the real one's of today while better still get too many wrong calls. The NFL should put more emphasis on referee training.Human error is normal,everybody makes mistakes and some are really bad. I get it! but shit happens man.... To suggest referees across the league are conspiring and following orders from the powers that be is just stupid. Bad calls happen all the time in many many games. You need to accept that. Minny was a sneaky pick and they had a sneaky cover. Kudos to those that went against the grain and took them. It was a tough game to bet on,sometimes the right play is to pass and look for better value elsewhere.

Zekes 42 yard run to the 10 yard line negated by a phantom holding as well as Dallas' interception in Minny territory negated by another weak call both ensured Dallas wouldn't cover. The missed call on the 2 pt conversion ensured Dallas would win (to keep people watching arguably the most popular NFL team in the midst of a ratings crisis) and also ensured anyone who bet on Dallas to cover such a small spread would lose. I took Dallas ML so I'm not complaining but that was the most blatantly fixed game I've ever seen.

Phantom holding..They showed the replays. Also if you think this game was good for ratings you must be crazy. Unless you had $$ on this game, this was a boring game. If Minny came back and tied the game and won in OT it would be considered a good game lots of Drama ala KC/Denver.

All i can say is how is it possible that the refs miss the hit to the head on the 2 pt? All of the other garbage calls aside, if the game was set up by the refs that was the one. And yes they did show the replays on the 2 plays bj is talking about and yes they were very ticky tacky calls. They also showed the replay on the 2 pt conversion and that my friends was bullshit.

This was the highest rated Thursday night game ever and up 52% from the previous Thursday. I saw the replays especially on the holding and Al Michaels also said on air there was nothing there. NFL wins, Vegas wins, ats betters lose (I read on covers that people were backing Dallas to cover by a 3 to 1 margin)

You're confusing human error with fixing games.Who is it that you think is conspiring to fixing these games? Is the commish having supper with John Elway and being like "John, we're already a billion dollar corporation,but you're gonna lose this weekend.Why? because its a small spread and we'll make a few more dollars having you lose."

It always baffles me thst people actually believe these games are fixed yet there's never a snitch, there's never a peep about shady shit going on behind the scenes. This is 2016. We know about everything.
The media spent 2 years on deflating footballs. Why on earth would they sweep fixing games under the rug? You know how competitive radio stations and news stations are? They would love to break thst story.
It's called human error and home field advantage. Yes I agree home field has an effect on officiating. I believe certain players benefit or don't benefit also (see Brady vs. Newton). Most NFL games are like this.
