Between the polarity in penalties being called and seemingly preferential treatment towards/against a marketable team or player, the game is becoming a boxed-in popularity contest.
Absolutely embarrassing right now.
not as boring as this post
Ok
It would really help if the NFL ruled that you can’t fire a coach midway through a season save for exceptional circumstances. Then, you might actually feel like a team is turning things around rather than a coach winning an unlikely game to save his job in the immediate future.
Ok
They just haven’t had a game as captivating as Michigan Ohio
Yeah fuck us defense lovers.
How could the NFL do this to u/RedHotChiliPotatoes??
My dad said the same thing about penalties and player favoritism decades ago when I was a kid and now I’ll say the same things to my kid.
Really, cuz for me it’s been less boring and more unfathomably depressing
Counter-point: No.
That’s cool.
Opinion - fan bias towards calls is way bigger than ref bias
Bro is so conditioned to the lions sucking that he hates it the one season they’re good
Nah man I disagree, my teams won today. Everything is fine. Sorry for your loss(es).
There’s no preferential treatment except towards offenses as a whole. The nfl refs just aren’t that good. They fuck up quite a bit.
The nfl doesn’t have to do preferential treatment to stars and popular teams. You’re lucky your not an nba fan. The nba legitimately will help out a popular team aka the lakers to make sure they get in the playoffs.
