Football season is here!!!

The Rams and Bears both win and advance to the next round. 

I don't have a rooting interest in the teams this year so I would like to see some new blood in the Super Bowl, maybe a Bears Jaguars match up.  Jags and never been to the big game and the Bears last visit was against the Colts in the 2006 season.  I could use a break from teams like the 49ers, Eagles, ect that we have seen in recent years.  Let's get some teams that have not been there in a long time!

I might be way out there in left field but I’m starting to agree with my friend, Dwight, who’s a Seahawks fan, that the NFL is rigged.

How so?!?

I’m not sure. I’ve no proof other than by watching the games. You think the missed kicks, throwing it directly to the other team, and questionable penalties are above par?? 

How does the Bears beat the Packers. At one time the Packers lead the game in the end of the 3rd quarter 21-6. Games end, it was Bears 31 and Packers 27; Bears scored 25 points in the 4th quarter to the Packers 6 points.

Packers had a 3rd and 2. Love could’ve easily ran it but he threw a 40 yard pass…and 4th and 2 they punt?!? 

Something smells fishy. Like pro-wrestling, the NFL knows games outcome before the game starts. Gambling plays a huge role now.

The NFL now feels like a version of the Black Sox to me. Something’s fishy on the gridiron.

IMHO!!

More and more people seem to be thinking this.  With betting scandals in MLB, NBA, ect, I don't think it is unreasonable to question if the same thing is going on in the NFL.  

 

On another note, the Jaguars are eliminated after a 27-24 loss at home to the Bills. Jags had a good regular season, won the division, only to lose at home in the final minute for the first playoff game.  My hope of a Bears/Jags Super Bowl has quickly been taken away.  Oh well.
