Yea… I been reevaluating shit lately.

The legit teams this season really might be the Steelers, Chargers and Colts coming out the AFC.

…and the way shit is going with them getting healthy again KC is still a major concern.

AHT! Steelers are fraud too. Less not forget that free fall they did last year.

AFC aint lookin as dominate like the previous seasons

 

[The question]

Nah, this is dope. If they make this their thing. Shit would be hella intimidating when you are losing or on a final drive tryna score

 

[Maywood]

Yeah that crowd was live af. Falcons fans don't be having much to celebrate wit their teams. But wit games like this...they be lit as all hell.

CJ Passaround

My understanding of it is he wants to only play safety and isn't open to playing other positions

Lol Howie may call him back

They are the most notorious team in the nfl for pumping in fake noise

I knew it.

The study shows that during the playoffs, which the research team identified as the NFL’s most commercially valuable period, penalties against opposing defenses of the Chiefs’ offense were significantly more likely to result in first downs, cover more yardage and fall into subjective categories such as roughing the passer or pass interference.


Importantly, these effects were absent from the Tom Brady–era New England Patriots and other recent Super Bowl contenders, suggesting the phenomenon is unique to Kansas City’s emergence as a television ratings powerhouse, the study found.

This, Spencer said, may be the result of financial pressures on the league stemming from the sharp decline in TV viewership and ratings during 2015–2017 seasons, just before Mahomes became the Chiefs’ starting quarterback

 

[O.G.]

I knew it.

1- imo the league would benefit more by cheating for the Cowboys, Steelers if it was a ploy to up the ratings. They had the most fans before Mahomes and KC came up. Ratings dropped during that time due to that kneeling BS.

2- KC ran way more deeper routes than Brady and the Pats so of course there will be more penalties and more yardage. Also Mahomes tends to try to make plays with his feet while Brady would just get rid of the ball.

3- If the NFL really wanted to cheat for KC they wouldn't put them in games that are decided by a few whistles. The outcome would be decided much earlier. Too many variables to screw shit up if you were trying to cheat.

 

[IP360]

...I don't put anything past the league and these owners.

It money over anything wit them.

 

[O.G.]

It's really hard to rig a nfl game. So much stuff has to go right for it to take place. Fumbles, missed field goals, untimely penalties and injuries are part of the game and unavoidable variables that will take place every game.

The NFL is It's only competition. They don't need the ratings boost or incentives from sportsbooks. People will watch regardless. They will profit no matter if it's Mahomes, Dak or Lamar as the main event. It's a money making machine.

 

[O.G.]

Now if you wanna talk rigged, take a look at shit like espn, Draftkings and Fan Duel etc. pushing unwinnable parlays to get you hooked on the sportsbook app.

It's not rigged in a sense where they are cheating, but rigged to the casinos advantage bcuz all sportbooks know that parlays are dumb ass bets.

 

[Sturdy Harris]

Just because it may be impractical or require a lot of effort isn't evidence they didn't do it. Whats effort to a collective of billionaires anyway. Also, we should never just assume a group of rich white men didn't do some shady shit lol.

Truthfully, I don't see the value in rigging it for KC though. Wins help marketability, but people still paying a grip to watch the browns be the browns. If money is the end goal, they already got that.

I'd like the story to be a thing though, this bullshit may be entertaining lol.

@AP4.0 your punk ass team on deck.

You assume greed hasn't been a thing since the dawn of time. These owners having money doesn't stop them from wanting more.

Only "reason" I can think of is the affect on whateva tv deals they negotiate on. Plus the amount of increased money they'll receive from those deals. I'm just spitballin. But we'd be fools not to think these greedy azzz owners wouldn't go to great lengths to satisfy their appetite for money.
