I don't have a dog in this fight, but the fix is definingly in with Vegas controlling the outcome of these games. These NFL officials either just are not good enough or they are trying to affect the outcome of these games. Rodger Goodell is a shit head, and the NFL is putting out a flawed product.
This NFL officiating is just not got enough, either that or the fix is in.

One more thing, I hope I never see another woman or old ass man officiate another NFL game.
Whenever there aree large sums of money in play, there will be a criminal element. Vegas was created by criminals. They're not as visible as they used to be, but they're still there, and smarter.
Panthers game had a backward screen that the running back dropped. Whistle blew immediately. Ref never reviewed the call and they ruled the ball went out of bounds when the running back actually picked it up
I can't buy into the fix is in. Too many people would have to be involved. Odds would be high that sooner or later someone would talk. Just too hard to use the refs to fix games.
I will admit refs are not doing a good job. The incentive to be better is the promotions and extra money for the post season. For some that doesn't matter. They're just glad to have a premier job.
Make them available for interviews after games. Have them answer to why they made or didn't make a certain call. I'll bet they'll try harder knowing there is accountability in that manner.

I agree that there is no conspiracy involving everyone to fix Wins and LOSSES. That is a ridiculous scenario.
However, it’s not ridiculous that the NFL along with the gazillion dollar tv network producers talk about more competitive games being the goal.
Flags can be thrown or not thrown on every play. Grey area penalties that can massage game flow and impact crucial junctures of the game.
The zebras cannot be held accountable for grey area penalties. The rules have only fueled the amount of grey area decisions made by these refs. This is of course, on purpose.
The refs aren’t being told to cheat, but let’s not pretend that the network people don’t meet with the NFL people, and the NFL doesn’t meet with its referees…and discuss “game flow.”
It’s entertainment and the networks today have more power and money than they ever have.
All that online football betting should be made illegal, just like it always was.
There should be no Pro teams in Vegas.
I have been to a few Raider-Rams games in Oakland. Is it a dump, yes. Do you always feel safe, no. Do gangs run the place, kinda.
But there were scores a decked out Raider fans in the coolest costumes you ever saw. Whole cars rolled up, big silver and black land yachts with steel mesh covering the window. They loved that team.
Vegas did not deserve them or the A's.
With all this NBA gambling stuff coming out there is no reason to think its not happening in the NFL.

NFL refs have long been the least competent of the four major North American sports leagues. It’s getting worse the more rules the league adds that are based entirely on subjective evaluation at full game speed.
They manipulate the spread and the over/under all of the time. And that sometimes changes the outcome of close games.
You know, like our last game with the Seachickens!

You know what else changed the outcome of that game? Allowing a punt return for a touchdown.
And the four points that were stolen on that ridiculous call in the end zone would have won the game in regulation!
I was screaming for Evans to punt the damn thing out of bounds. If they had to drive the ball to score, there wasn't going to be enough time. But Evans didn't hear me.
The refs are like dice in a board game. You can think you’re winning in Risk or Monopoly but if the dice don’t go your way you can lose. They are a random element that cannot be controlled.
So control what you can. Execute a great game plan. The Rams could have beat Seattle in a number of ways in spite of the bad calls. The Rams got themselves a situation where luck was needed to win. Not dominance. And the dice was not their friend.

Huh, backwards pass, whistle blows...seems I've heard that one before. I remember when a blown whistle meant something.
