    So can we all acknowledge that this shit isn't fixed after that Ravens win?

    Seriously you guys all bitch and moan when unlucky stuff happens or a bad call is made. How about giving some recognition to a game that was clearly not fixed.

    Nah, people will just say that it was fixed; that baltimore was supposed to get the win, and everything was planned; down to the OT, and the game-winning interception/touchdown. It was even in the script for Schaub to act all disappointed after the loss.

    People believe in fixes because they need excuses for their inabilities to win

    What? You don't think that athletes that make 7 million a year care about guys making $100 bets?

    Sarcasm...

    I'll believe the NFL is 100% clean when the Cowpokes stop consistently getting insane calls in their favor in big games. How about the obviously trapped ball that was ruled a catch on review? That shi'ite's been going on since the 90's. Right now I'd go with 95 - 99% clean.

    Doesn't take away from the fact that Fisher went for the cover instead of the win.....

    For the record I don't believe the NFL is fixed

    You're an idiot that listens to too many stupid know-nothing analysts, kicking the FG is a terrible decision.

    fixed.. naaah.. its people making stoopid mistakes in prime time.. example: ravens pushing/throwing a receiver outta bounds and stopped the clock! LOL!!

    exciting and painful.. yup! ravens backers were climbing the walls and then yelling in satisfaction when balti covered!

    the real fix is the refs wanted this to go to OT so lots of commercial are played, ratings as well. A minute of commercial can bring MIllions in revenue towards the league. They(NFL) even wanted to extend 2 more games next year for more profit. Check this real time article about getting timeout for commericals.

    Funny things happen in sports - and most games are not fixed - the NFL tries hard to keep their rep as a legit organization. To fix an NFL game is quite difficut because there are so many people involved. However, fixes have occured in the past where there are more opportunity to afect the game (See NCAA Basketball....)- and will occur in the future. For exampe, If someone gets to a placekicker and offers him something to miss a kick here and there and not affect the outcome of the game.....

    I didn't bet that game but what is the point of scoring with no time left down two scores instead of kicking it with 30 seconds and then attempting the onsides kick?

    Its funny that the only group who believes the NFL is fixed is the guys that bet on it. If the refs wanted last night to go to OT, then why are there so many GOD AWFUL games on SNF and MNF? blowouts, scores that don't reach 15 points. cmon man!

    It was all planned. Vegas made sure to pass the word along to make Andre Johnson tap both feet barely in bounds to tie the game up.
