Ok I was reluctant to buy into this but after listening to people tell
me it is true and considering some what I've seen/heard I am wondering.
here's some stuff to consider.
1. NBA is on record that refs take pay offs to influence game out comes
and the ref caught said he is not the only one doing it. Is it a stretch to
think there may be NFL refs doing it also?
2. PATs with an offense scoring 30+ points a game just finished off a team
with a pretty good defense in the playoffs with 40+ points and is held to
13 points by an old D.
3. The ratings for a Harbaugh vs Harbaugh Superbowl were off the scales.
There are billions involved here folks. With that much money at stake it is
possible some people were bought to influence the outcome of the game?
4. Tom Brady. Think about his body language. Did he seem like
he was really playing to win? To me he didn't have that fire in his eyes.
His body language seemed to say " I already know what the outcome will be .. so why try hard .. I'll just do what I'm paid to do"
Consider it all ask yourself ... does it make sense that this offense is held to 13 points with NO points in the second half?
It almost seems like the no 2nd half points was
a rebellion to the game being fixed .... the only way that they could
say it was fixed without saying it verbally.
Thoughts?
This is not only ridiculous, it's bad for the Pats. Accept responsibility where responsibility lies. The only "conspiracy" has been with our own FO and coaching staff, in trading the team's identity as a tough, physical, clutch team and morphing into the the latest version of the Bills teams of the 1990's, the 1999-2001 Rams, and the 2003-2007 Colts. A very good, high scoring team, but one which just isn't defined by those same attributes any more. That seems to have been a calculated decision made after 2006 when the team lost in the AFCCG to the Colts. But the results suggest that "black and blue" teams still do pretty well come playoff time.
We've turned into the 1984 LA Lakers. The Ravens were the Celtics, and Bernard Pollard clotheslined us just like Kevin McHale did to Kurt Rambis. If the shoe had been on the other foot, we'd be cheering. Just because it happened to us doesn't mean it was a "conspiracy". Take it like a man, and figure out how to hit back harder next time if you don't want to be bullied.

Do you think that's why BB didn't want to do that post game interview...he was *gasp* afraid to blow the lid on the whole shadow operation?
Why do you think no post game interview by BB?
Because he was a sore sport?
Is that like BB? Has he not interviewed after a bad loss in the past and
give the other team all the praise and say where he and his team failed.
Why not this game? Was his feelings hurt and felt he would cry?
Why? you tell me why he was so unlike Bill Belichick?

**sigh** I understand the frustration to see the Pats come out lay a big, fat, goose egg out there in the middle of Gillette Stadium. Honestly, the 2 best teams are playing in the SuperBowl this year. It's that simple.
This topic is an embarrassment, listening to people claiming to be Pats fans whining like little Colt fans about the bad old referees and how the world is out to get them.
Do you wish we had a Bill Polian in charge who could hold a press conference and cobble together videos of possible infractions that he thinks were ignored?
News flash: The Ravens played a better football game than we did. If the game is being reffed a certain way, you adjust, suck it up, and deal with it.

This is not only ridiculous, it's bad for the Pats. ......
More to the point It's also bad for you. This is one of your main stays. It is what you pride yourself in. You're knowledge of the game and your daily
expositions are legendary. To think for a moment that your pride and joy could be in part a sort of scam is unthinkable and abhorrent.
Your response and that of addicted PATs fans is understandable.
I am not sure the game was fixed but there are many things I don't
understand and am will to consider possible explanations even it makes
me feel uncomfortable.
Just remember BILLIONS of dollars are involved and when there is that much money there is bound to be corruption whether you like it or not.
If op is suggesting it is possible that a single game official was bought or otherwise corrupted....... OK. But it would be next to impossible for that one person to dictate the outcome of the game without it being pretty darn evident to the other officials.
Consequently the liklihood of some nefarious cabal operating on a game they cannot insure the outcome of is ..... well, not likely.
As for the NFL involving itself.......ain't ever happening. They are a multi billion dollar operation and are not about to jeopardize their success by attempting to fix the outcome of a game. Especially highly scrutinized games in the play offs. There is no way they would not be exposed.
Yes a single official could change the outcome of a game IF he were in position to make the game changing call very late in the game. But there is no way to insure that corrupted official will be any where near the critical play at the critical time. Would you bet big bucks on that scenario?
