How is this game not rigged in certain moments?

**Shafted69** · 02-05-17, 11:07 PM

Precisely. And on that same drive Ryan hikes the ball with 15 - 20 secs on the play clock every play.

**The Kraken** · 02-05-17, 11:09 PM

Who rigged it?

**bhoor** · 02-05-17, 11:10 PM

players involved? The game looks like rigged in the closing minutes.

**dect6.0** · 02-05-17, 11:11 PM

Looks like someone had the falcons tonight and lost their bet. Only a hamburger thinks this game was rigged.

**bhoor** · 02-05-17, 11:11 PM

If they want the one side to win it, why leave it to last minutes?

**OmahaOmaha** · 02-05-17, 11:11 PM

**Rich Boy** · 02-05-17, 11:17 PM

Atl got cocky and thought the game was over, thats what happened

**deary626** · 02-05-17, 11:18 PM

Yes that is the fucken part, why throw? Not only you were still in fg range after the sack but then the hold and the throw out of bound? Rigged like shit

**packerd_00** · 02-05-17, 11:18 PM

It does make for the perfect story though gotta admit,breaking all of these SB records in one shot.

Brady legacy

**pologq** · 02-05-17, 11:19 PM

atlanta got very cocky, showboating and such. that being said hiking the ball with 18 seconds on the clock each time and looking to pass is crazy when all you need is a field goal to make it 11 points.

So all the Atlanta players and coaches threw the game for Bradys legacy

Makes sense

**MagicMaker** · 02-06-17, 12:09 AM

What the penetrate was atl offensive coordinator doing god damn

**jtoler** · 02-06-17, 12:16 AM

Seems all Pats super bowl wins come by luck.

**davisca86** · 02-06-17, 12:17 AM

I wouldn't say rigged but they had it in the bag

Cloud of depression prob hover over that organization for a solid year.

**Kermit** · 02-06-17, 12:17 AM

With the 1000's players that have gone completely broke and are on their ass, why haven't any of them come forward to collect that bank for exposing the truth about games being rigged?

**davisca86** · 02-06-17, 12:17 AM

They lost it for themselves

**stackz125** · 02-06-17, 12:22 AM

Atlanta backers think this was rigged

Of course

Can't make this shit up

**NrmlCurvSurfr** · 02-06-17, 12:29 AM

didn't even watch but NFL is definitely part entertainment, not 100% competitive...otherwise why have salary caps? just let the best players demand the highest pay and teams with more money acquire the best players based on the market price...that would be 100% competition especially if player pay was based on stats...now that would be some competition

the league has rules in place to make sure the entertainment value remains...

**davisca86** · 02-06-17, 12:31 AM

I think it's more to keep the game competitive

**davisca86** · 02-06-17, 12:32 AM

People don't want to see the same team win year after year. It's gets boring

**firekillex** · 02-06-17, 12:35 AM

Hate when people yell rigged but it's either retarded football IQ or rigged
i literally cannot comprehend how you lose that game..

youre right drain clock to 3 seconds every play run it to 4th down and kick a fg with Matt Bryant who's been a beast there's 2:30 on the clock after all that pats need 11 points in that time aka a TD an onside kick that falcons would recover game over

Yeah I thought the same thing. It was the 4th quarter up 16, shorting the clock was imparative. Bad coaching and Ryan prove he's not not an elite QB with situation awareness.

thats my point in my post...essentially it is rigged, perhaps not completely related to gambling but to keep people watching...its just a show with some athletic competition thrown in...

**JIBBBY** · 02-06-17, 12:40 AM

When ever bettors lose big bets in big games they typically call RIG job.. If they were on the winning end of that game and bet they would not mention it...

Gambler remorse maybe?

Yellow flags were flying in timely situations in this game but honestly they were all obvious fouls.. I see no RIG JOB in this super bowl game but those Pats favorable timely flags were flying in critical situations and that I can't deny...

I won money and bet pats when they were down and im calling it a rig now the same way I did before the game. Joe buck foreshadowed that comeback and OT in the 2nd quarter.

**dblock05** · 02-06-17, 12:47 AM

Didn't have money on the game man. Just wondering how dumb Matt Ryan and the OC is.

What did Buck say,I normally tune out the commentators.

I was on the Pats as well but keep an open mind.. I'll call it as I see it... I saw timely flags thrown for the Pats but they were fouls.. Rig job calling is a bit extreme I think...

I don't think the refs huddle up before the game and say let's keep this game close so everyone throw the flag on 3rd down if the Pats are down big.... That's a bit crazy to think in such a big game like this..

Those flags thrown that I saw were obvious fouls on replay..

He was basically alluding to the fact that no super bowl game has ever gone to OT (while pats were down 28 whose thinking about OT) and kept bringing up biggest super bowl comebacks and what not. I know its his job to comment on the game but I knew this game was gonna go down to the wire and he reinforced that thought.

I've rambled enough about this all over this forum but this game ended exactly how the nfl wouldve liked it with its ratings being down and what not. The important thing is that the pats won and we cashed out tonight lol
