I'm saying that I was dissapointed that so many bad calls went against one team... The same way the call went against the Steelers in the Indy game. The NFL has a major credibility problem. I don't think the Steelers or the fans were out of line when they said they wondered if the NFL wanted Indy in the big game, because of one bad call in that game.

After reading that whole thing, I'm still not sure of what you are saying. You seem to be suggesting that the NFL and media wanted the Colts to beat the Steelers, but they didn't. Then they wanted the Steelers to beat the 'Hawks and they did. Again, I ask - DO YOU THINK THE GAME WAS FIXED? Yes or no? If YES, then just how does that work? Do you think the NFL calls the refs in and says "Ok, guys, the league and the media want Pitt to win this game, so you know what to do. *WINK, WINK*"?

Here's a crazy thought...the refs are human and sometimes make the wrong call, and sometimes one team benefits more than the other...I know, I know, absolute nuts...;-)

I do not think the NFL fixes any games, but how would we know, we don't play it. Now Porter plays the game and would seem to be privy to the going ons......lol

Yes. I think it was fixed.
And my suspicions were validated even more when the NFL issued that farse of a statement about the officials and the way the officiated the entire playoffs..

Circling the wagons instead of just letting it just go away..

Anybody who read that statement and didn't think their intelligence was being insulted, needs help standing upright.
