No, what he means is the fix was in for the Iggles to win it. All it takes is one little gray area like the "catch/ no catch" to be called at precisely the right time, say like in a big game when TD's really matter to keep pace with a high scoring offense. Compound that with all of the ISH Jerry Jones has been making with Goodell over the years and you can see why an official might call one a catch and the other not. I do have to say though, I NEVER have seen a team come so far so fast when only two years ago their "savior" Chip Kelly apparentley set this franchise back 5 years, only to be rescued by the guy they fired, Howie Roseman, 1 year later. For years Roseman couldn't GM his way out of a paper bag and in 2 years he managed to: 1. Acquire the best QB the league has seen in 10 years. 2. Get a 1st round pick for a piece of garbage QB. 3. Sign multiple high quality FA's 4. Win a SB with a bunch of back ups against the greatest franchise ever. Compound that with Jeffrey saying he guarantees a SB victory BEFORE he was even an Iggle along with all the SB talk beginning in October and you can kind of get a little suspicious. That is, if you believe in that sort of thing. See, I do, and as a result, I'm going to Jamaica in April with what I earned last night using this line of thinking. Thank you IGGLES! Congrats enjoy your trophy, I'll be "Feeling good Lewis" on a beach in 8 weeks. Ya Mon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fix would not be in for Philly to win. Please stop the with the jokes. LOL If the fix was in, it would have been for the Patriots. Those calls were kept as they were because there wasn't irrefutable evidence and they were called Touchdowns on the field. If they were ruled incomplete, they probably stay that way as well.

In fairness, you could make the case they were called TDs on the field *because* they were inconclusive and necessitated review (at least the Clement TD, for sure- the refs were very hesitant before raising their arms simultaneously) making that sort of circular logic, no? I don't think the game was fixed for you. Just think the subjectivity and inconsistency is annoying and perplexing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBoys Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I actually enjoyed how the refs seemed to "let them play," last night. I really wish all games were called closer to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the last thing the NFL wanted was the ridiculousness of their catch rule determining the outcome of the Super Bowl. Ertz was in every way a Touchdown, Clement is debatable.

The league office has done nothing but gain more and more power and influence under Goodell. I remember reading something (I wanna say it was an MMQB piece) this year that basically said refs are more concerned than ever about getting grilled by the league over 'incorrect' calls and that they tend to defer to replay reviews in New York when there's a sliver of doubt.

Calvert28 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Why is it the only times the Patriots crap the bed in the SB has to be the NFC East teams? I suppose this is good news if we go there and face them. We seem to be the SEC Conference of the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
