No they don't... but now you want to hang your hat on the talking heads? Seriously? That is what you want to solidify your argument is the talking heads? lol
Let's be honest Steelers got lucky

I think it is more random cheating as in individuals here and there. I did have suspicion it a few individuals habitually trying to sway things but that seems to have lessened.
Just too much money on the table and greed associated with that .
Well the Bills did lose what, 3 or 4 SB's in a row a while back.
Maybe time to give them a lil' sumpthin'. Ron Jr.'s girlfriend would be happy though, she's from Buffalo.
Makes you wonder what Bill Ford and the Lions did to piss off the league for so long though.
We'll see if Shades gets his long-awaited playoff win this year to placate the fan base. With any controversial calls or non-calls if necessary.
After the Rats' non-TD last week* I'd say nothing is off-limits.
* Yeah I know that was technically the correct call but how often do those go in our favor?

I think so. The Mr. and Mrs. Taylor Swift thing has been resolved so there is no more suspense left.

Sure bud...sure...
Just saying
100% of Steelernation would be losing their minds if the call went against our guy in that situation. You know it as well as I do

Probably 90% of people agree the call was correct. The talking heads that say it was wrong are just looking for attention and to stir the pot. Almost everyone agrees the rule is stupid, but that does not make the call incorrect

Again, letter of the law...
...and AGAIN, it was a first down play, and they turned it over on downs. Likely, a big strong TE, needs to learn to hold the ball a bit better. And the Ravens failed to get a first down, or the TD on the subsequent 3 following plays. If the roles were reversed, I'd be more pissed about that. Keep in mind the Jesse James situation started the conversation about the current catch rule, which requires THREE elements to be met, he met two of the three.
Its a shame Tomlin lives rent free in the head of a person to the point that they get psychologically entrapped by idiotic thoughts even to the point of sharing them out loud. All I can say is seek help.

I doubt it - way too many people would have to be in the know for the NFL to be able to do much more than tweak a score here or there.
He is entitled to his opinions and it doesn’t make them idiotic if you don’t agree with them.
Cheating has existed in the NFL, well documented.
It is also well documented how the NFLs greed is equivalent to mankind’s . Meaning a high level of greed exists. Look at gambling, additional weeks of NFL games, and overseas games as examples of that high level greed.
Some of the Cheatriot and Chiefs runs were oddly referee assisted in their favor. I always took it as individual corruption but I have no idea. Neither does he or you.
So if someone wants to think the NFL is scripted we really can’t rule it out as a possibility.
In the medical field on an inpatient chart/stay/visit on the discharge possible, likely, or suspect can be coded.
In life possible , likely, or suspected can’t be ruled out until like in the medical industry it is just that, ruled out.
As far as this rent free comment 99.99999 percent of Steelers fans are disgusted with the Steeler playoff futility. It’s depth is deep as they often aren’t even competitive in those matchups. Just outright out-coached and embarrassing outcomes.
So if the rent free mantra exists then it exists for 99.99999 percent of Steelers fans that have seen enough.
Perhaps your stance is a little rough you might want to dial it back.
I'm not dialing back anything on this topic. The NFL (nor any other billion dollar league) is not going to risk billions on anybody! If there is a connection to cheating as a result of gambling then its tied to the individual not the league...and if its tied to the individual then it has nothing to do with Tomlin, the Steelers or anything else. It has to do with that person and that person only (i.e. Chauncey Billups, Pete Rose, ). Anybody that believes that the NFL is purposefully throwing games and then would intentionally throw the enforcer of the cheating under the bus (i.e. the refs) and risk threatening the incriminating of themselves should an investigation ensue by making statements that the refs blew calls in the game needs their head examined. I wonder what this moron thinks was the motive for the conspiracy behind the Jesse James td being disallowed?? Because he cant say one was an act of conspiracy and the other wasnt. How he is so spiritually inclined to know what calls are, and are not, related to conspiracies??
People who come up with stupid conspiracy theories like this aren't any different then people who suggest our government flew planes into the twin towers. Its not an opinion at that point. Its downright blaspheme. Its a reflection of a deeper problem that is both psychological and mental. This clown is doing nothing but adding to his list of how possibly to discredit any success Tomlin has at any cost...even it means people questioning his own sanity. The real crazy thing is that people would read his entire spiel and agree with him and more crazier then that defend it.

You don’t have to dial back your opinion just the flaming of the poster.
You should be able to state your case without doing that right? If your debate is strong you shouldn’t need that to enforce your opinion.
As the man is a good poster in general..
Why are they risking billions? When the cheating existed for the cheatriots did the fans hang it up and go home? No
Through every NFL controversy did the fans hang it up and go home? No
Does the NFL continue to grow yearly? Yes
So there is no risk people are addicted and will keep on watching. Look toward the WWE as proof.
I already stated I believe it is an individual issue but we can’t assume the model doesn’t have a degree of corruption. The NFL loves to sweep corruption under the carpet.
Even if the game isn’t fixed yeah which I believe it isn’t. There still are a lot of individuals that can sway outcomes. You know like spotty calls favoring one team or another, phone calls overturning penalties. Not using their new technology on questionable spots of the football. Not seeing obvious penalties on the field.
This is how i know he's lying about what he's claiming he believes, or maybe moreso why there should be serious concern about people like this. If you know something is "scripted" or "fake" then why are you so emotionally invested?? Why take offense regarding anything that happens in it?? Why call for the firing of anything that has anything to do with it outside of the producers and directors who write the script?? If you have such an issue with it and cant trust it why not just stop watching? I understand addiction, but not on that level. Im only going to dial it back now because the more I think about it the more I realize I just need to consider the source of the person making the statements.

I used to think the people who thought the NFL was fixed and scripted were crackpots.
Not saying it IS true, just that I'm starting to wonder.
For me it started with Rog destroying Belicheat's videotapes and thus the evidence of how deep the cheating was and the minimal punishment of him, Br*dy, and the Pats******

Had been hopeful maybe the heat was on Shades but looks like back to 9-8 business as usual for him with nothing off the table for the league to get him the Division and a playoff win..
And another three-year extension.
Too late for you to change anything. I quoted your original comment. Im sure you must regret it now that somebody called you out on it.
Your last sentence was that it was scripted. Just stop commenting bro. Move on. I already get the feeling you're a nut job. Now you acting like you dont know what you posted.
