Some things thats obvious
 

GB got hosed, but the way the NFL has been especially since we got hosed 3 yrs ago has taken its toll to the point I cant watch the NFL or the Saints anymore, not that I hate the Saints, but the NFL is trying to script this too much to a point they going to get certain matchups that brings TV Ratings. I never expected the officiating to hand TB the win, but being they have ridden the Brady train for 20 years, makes sense so they can setup KC and Mahomes to beat Brady in the SB and they ride the Mahomes train for 10+ years now, especially with how big the TV market is with KC.

With knowing all this and what the NFL tries to push each each, hard to watch knowing the end result is pretty much most teams and its fans getting hosed out of anything meaningful. Not just the Saints, but many teams. No one on these forums cant tell me they got different thoughts as it pertains this or some line of similar thinking.

With that said, how much does Brady control the team he plays in? Lets face it, Tampas coaching staff top to bottom is no where near being in a position of elite, Brady comes, then all a sudden Tampa Bay is committing less penalties after being the most penalized team in 2 years or so running. Then they change schemes and all a sudden they different team slap dab in the middle of the season, they never did these changes when Jameis was around. What gives on this? Bradys old team, NE has really fallen flat since he left.

NFL has become more and more like the NBA...ref controlled for ratings and increasbly unwatchable.

Re: Some things thats obvious
 

and very predictable.

I agree about the NBA to.

Knowing the Lakers going to win it all again and we aint even but what? 15 games into the season, but we know this every year who gonna win it usually, get some team once in a blue moon defy odds like Toronto did.

But the NFL is not that predictable yet like the NBA, because theirs no best of 5 or 7, but you pretty much know what the agenda is and know teams like Saints, Lions, just to name a couple is fighting losing battles.

Vegas has alot to do with it, largest percentage of bettors for a team is often the losing team. Especially playoffs.

Here is another obvious thought. Godhell sucks and is slowly destroying the integrity of the shield. Just sayin".

Once again who does Goodell work for?

Goodell is doing exactly what he is getting paid to do. Distract the "fans" from the antics and greed of the owners.

I like to think Goodell is a puppet to a greater power, I wouldnt think that if I never heard Pat McAfee interviewing Tim Donahue a year or so ago, worth watching if one hasnt.
