WOW that is some serious BS if true.


Let the conspiracy theories fly. If league officials were routing for the Jets might League officials potentially swayed the minds of Game Officials?

Where does this setiment come from and might it have led to some unfair actions against us?

SERIOUSLY WTF NFL


Note: I don't really like PFT and really only go there when a headline jumps off the page like this one so take it with a grain of salt.

You know what looks real bad about this? Normally I'd kind of just be like WTF.

There was a ridiculous call on Vrabel, now we see this?

Well,

Since the Commish is a former JETS employee, does any of this surprise you?

The NFL wants to milk the Favre "feel-good" story for all it's worth, since they still sell tons of Favre merchandise. I would not at all be surprised that the NFL is trying to push games in certain directions. After the shabby treatment that the NFL gave the Patriots last year over unfounded spying rumours, nothing that could be said about "fixing games" would surprise me in the least.

That's nmy thought. Get the Giants outta here(saying this to the other guy) they won fair and square. The Jets probably did too.

But all this Favre mania, Jet connections, just feels funny.

Did They?

If you read my above post you'll see the phrase let the conspiracy theories begin.

Is it that far fetched that if they were routing for something that someone may have taken it further.

Look at two seperate plays in that game.

Look at the holding call on Vrabel on third down that allowed the Jets to score a TD rather then a FG.

Illegal touching maybe, but ticky tack nonetheless. But I am OK with that.

Now look at the Pats TD to Moss.

Ty Law had both arms wrapped around Moss. Both of them. And nothing.

Now granted Moss caught the ball anyway. But I fully expected to see a flag laying on the field.

If Moss doesn't catch that ball, the game is over.

If you want to call ticky tack fouls, fine, but call them the same for both teams.

I thought the officialting in that game was blatently one sided.

And now we know why!

there's one theory here, that absolutely ridiculous call on Vrabel.

The Giants didn't win in a sudden call, they beat our ass all game.
