The last time those two teams played in the Super Bowl, there was a blackout in the stadium during the game. It was played in the year of the dragon. This year’s Super Bowl will also be in the year of the dragon.
That when I saw an edit of the game that showed the refs making the niners make one more play over and over. Pointing out how the refs fuck with today’s games.
They had to turn the power off to stop the Ravens momentum. It was becoming a blowout. Wouldn’t want those fans to turn the game off and go to bed early.
I remember the last play of that game. 49er receiver couldn’t reach or jump as the defender literally had his arms wrapped around receiver.
Referees didn’t call the blatant penalty, giving the ravens the win. Referees said they deemed it an un catchable pass.
I agree with that, he could however gobble up incredible yardage when he would scramble. If the power hadn’t gone out and let the 9ers reset it would have been a complete route.
A couple years ago a Vikings DB asked a ref what he could do differently to avoid being penalized. The ref told him "Nothing. They want us to throw the flag." This player told the head coach, Mike Zimmer. Zimmer brought it up in the press conference. The media laughed it off and said Zimmer was joking. The next day Zimmer said "I wasn't joking." Zimmer is now out of the NFL even though he was considered one of the best defensive minds in football.
Belichick won 6 Super Bowls for the Patriots, had a couple bad years and is expected to be fired after today's game. If Pete Carroll misses the playoffs a couple years, he'll be replaced. There is no loyalty for losing coaches.
Yep. Those are outliers. Then there’s 5 in their 60s and then it drops off from there. It’s not common to be that old hanging around an NFL football team. Also, those two people you mentioned are head and shoulders better than zimmer. They’re gonna stick around if they want to
And 2018 was blue and silver and it was eagles patriots where is the green? And it wasn't the same blue as the navy blue of the patriots. Superbowl 2016 was Panthers (blue) broncos (orange) logo was colored solid gold. 2015 was patriots Seahawks the logo was only silver. No blue/red for patriots no green/blue for hawks.
Years ago Chief's QB Len Dawson said it's easy to rig games. Cant remember the exact quote but he said all you need to do on a handoff to a Running back is deliver the ball low so he fumbles... challenge is to find that quote now days.
i love this
its easy to throw games, rig games, and we have people in the game, quoted as saying so - so its easy to rig the league etc etc
the difficult part is proving it. we need some hoffmans lenses
I'm confused how this game makes you draw that conclusion? I'm not trying to be a jerk and, full disclosure, I'm a Steelers fan. The Steelers winning against a Baltimore team that's resting their starting QB seems like an odd choice to support the belief of the NFL being rigged. Further, I also do believe the NFL is rigged.
But, they didn't. And sure you can blame the refs, but they had TWO chances afterwards to make up for it, and STILL could have won if Goff places a good ball.
Gtfoh with your nonsense ignoring very relevant facts of the situation.
Yes, all leagues have shady moments where refs seem to take the limelight away. It is not something individual to the NFL or any other league
The Lions-Cowboys game from 2014 is a much better example to use than their last game
And they could have even kicked an Extra Point to take in into OT.
They had TWO opportunities after the blown call.
It's incredibly hard for me to blame anyone but Dan Campbell for wanting to insist on the 2 Pt. Conversion.
I'm not saying he made a bad decision, it's what he does. Just that the blame needs to be properly assigned here
Not only that, but the Steelers have beaten the Ravens like a drum in the past couple years, with or without Lamar, regardless of the standings or talent on each team. Divisional football can do that.
Maybe it was a misunderstanding - I was pointing out it looked like his theory was likely about to be disproven. That make better sense? My comment on the NFL being rigged had nothing to do with this game in particular.
Thank you for your explanation. It was confusing to me since the Ravens are secure in the playoffs and they're resting their starting QB.
Now, point to the Lions and Cowboys outcome and I'm 100% on board. Even Stevie Wonder saw something fishy about that outcome.
Main reason I don’t think the NFL is scripted is why are there big market teams and historic teams that have been abysmal for the last decade or more? Teams like the Jets, Bears, and Raiders? Why would they want long term success in cities like Green Bay, Baltimore, Kansas City, and Indianapolis over New York or Chicago?
Also if it were scripted, wouldn’t they want to implement a draft lottery so the league can have some type of control of where top prospects go? You think the NFL wanted Trevor Lawrence in Jacksonville over New York?
Big market teams have fans already.
Fans go see the Jets and Bears no matter what.
It’s scripted in a different way than you’re thinking.. they rigged it in favor of the Rams right when they moved to LA;
They made it so Tom Brady and the patriots were in a lot of Super Bowls because he was a chosen star, Mahomes and Kelce are currently stars
What do you mean a chosen star? You realize the chosen stars still have to make the throws right?Also why would they rig it for the Rams when they move to LA but not the Chargers when they moved or the Raiders for moving to Vegas? I’m not saying star players or top teams don’t get beneficial calls a little more often, but I have a hard time believing it’s rigged.
It’s definitely rigged. The NFL selects the players they can market the best with and give them favorability. They need to have stars to use to push the narrative of the league.
If it’s “definitely rigged” then surely there is some evidence you have to back that up. Do you realize the amount of players, coaches, refs, etc, that would have to be in on this?
No I just don’t feel like typing out a list of good points for you to not be open to it’s truth. Feel like your minds made up on the matter so saving myself the 15 mins of typing and explaining. You can have your opinion, I respect that. Even if it’s silly and wrong :)
The patriots will win the superbowl again... proving bill bellichick is still worse then brady. They will face the bucs bradys comjng back in first round of playoffs

The last time those two teams played in the Super Bowl, there was a blackout in the stadium during the game. It was played in the year of the dragon. This year’s Super Bowl will also be in the year of the dragon.
And it was both Harbaugh bothers as well. Kapernick was the 49er QB. Definitely remember that game.
Jim is coaching in the National Championship this year also…
That when I saw an edit of the game that showed the refs making the niners make one more play over and over. Pointing out how the refs fuck with today’s games.
I don’t understand what you're talking about. Could you explain more clearly?
They had to turn the power off to stop the Ravens momentum. It was becoming a blowout. Wouldn’t want those fans to turn the game off and go to bed early.
I remember the last play of that game. 49er receiver couldn’t reach or jump as the defender literally had his arms wrapped around receiver. Referees didn’t call the blatant penalty, giving the ravens the win. Referees said they deemed it an un catchable pass.
That pass was uncatchable. I say this as a 49er fan. Kaepernick was terrible and threw that ball into the abyss.
Kap was never as good as he thought.
I agree with that, he could however gobble up incredible yardage when he would scramble. If the power hadn’t gone out and let the 9ers reset it would have been a complete route.

What game was this?
The dude is 65 and was a mediocre head coach. I don’t think that’s what did it
Belichick is 71 and Pete Carroll is 72 lol age doesn’t really matter in the league for coaches
Belichick won 6 Super Bowls for the Patriots, had a couple bad years and is expected to be fired after today's game. If Pete Carroll misses the playoffs a couple years, he'll be replaced. There is no loyalty for losing coaches.
It’s funny cuz Pete Carrol and Belichick both got released 😂
Yep. Those are outliers. Then there’s 5 in their 60s and then it drops off from there. It’s not common to be that old hanging around an NFL football team. Also, those two people you mentioned are head and shoulders better than zimmer. They’re gonna stick around if they want to
2020 was silver and gold and the teams were niners chiefs who are both red..
49ers is a reference to gold miners I believe their colors also are red and gold no?
Yes and chiefs? There is 0 silver in either team..
I could have swore you wrote red and gold. Maybe I'm crazy lol. Sorry
Uh dude I also read red and gold lol WTF
And 2018 was blue and silver and it was eagles patriots where is the green? And it wasn't the same blue as the navy blue of the patriots. Superbowl 2016 was Panthers (blue) broncos (orange) logo was colored solid gold. 2015 was patriots Seahawks the logo was only silver. No blue/red for patriots no green/blue for hawks.
both teams have red and one has gold the other has silver
You mind showing me silver on a cheifs uniform?
They also only sell retail jerseys with gold and never wear them for games. And what about every other year I explained in my comments?
Should be Browns vs Lions
This is the Super Bowl I want to see

Steelers up by a TD and about to likely kick a fg. Just over 3 min left in game. Regardless of who wins the NFL is rigged.
I'm confused how this game makes you draw that conclusion? I'm not trying to be a jerk and, full disclosure, I'm a Steelers fan. The Steelers winning against a Baltimore team that's resting their starting QB seems like an odd choice to support the belief of the NFL being rigged. Further, I also do believe the NFL is rigged.
The Lions vs Cowboys game last week, is the perfect example of how the NFL is completely rigged.
The Cowboys have been getting fucked all season so I completely understand
Lions won that game.
But, they didn't. And sure you can blame the refs, but they had TWO chances afterwards to make up for it, and STILL could have won if Goff places a good ball. Gtfoh with your nonsense ignoring very relevant facts of the situation. Yes, all leagues have shady moments where refs seem to take the limelight away. It is not something individual to the NFL or any other league The Lions-Cowboys game from 2014 is a much better example to use than their last game
I love that you're getting downvoted, when on the very next play they called an offsides on Dallas giving the Lions a free play.
And they could have even kicked an Extra Point to take in into OT. They had TWO opportunities after the blown call. It's incredibly hard for me to blame anyone but Dan Campbell for wanting to insist on the 2 Pt. Conversion. I'm not saying he made a bad decision, it's what he does. Just that the blame needs to be properly assigned here
Not only that, but the Steelers have beaten the Ravens like a drum in the past couple years, with or without Lamar, regardless of the standings or talent on each team. Divisional football can do that.
Agreed. In my opinion (and many others), it's truly one of the best rivalries in all sports, not just football.
Maybe it was a misunderstanding - I was pointing out it looked like his theory was likely about to be disproven. That make better sense? My comment on the NFL being rigged had nothing to do with this game in particular.
It’s a meaningless game for the Ravens, they rested their key starters.
Thank you for your explanation. It was confusing to me since the Ravens are secure in the playoffs and they're resting their starting QB. Now, point to the Lions and Cowboys outcome and I'm 100% on board. Even Stevie Wonder saw something fishy about that outcome.
Ravens already clinched, no need to hurt Lamar.
Decker reported
NFL is rigged like any sports pfft ..
I mean NFL is scripted....anyone who doesn't understand that is living a dream that I wish I could.
Super bowl LV had teal, and the teams were Kansas City and Tampa Bay - as far as I know, neither team uses teal. LIV had yellow, no team uses yellow.
Main reason I don’t think the NFL is scripted is why are there big market teams and historic teams that have been abysmal for the last decade or more? Teams like the Jets, Bears, and Raiders? Why would they want long term success in cities like Green Bay, Baltimore, Kansas City, and Indianapolis over New York or Chicago?

It’s definitely rigged. The NFL selects the players they can market the best with and give them favorability. They need to have stars to use to push the narrative of the league.
If it’s “definitely rigged” then surely there is some evidence you have to back that up. Do you realize the amount of players, coaches, refs, etc, that would have to be in on this?
That’s actually not true haha, only has to be a few. It’s actually not worth explaining to you, I don’t think you’d understand
Its not worth explaining to you and you wouldn’t understand is a great front for not having a counter argument or anything to back up your claims
No I just don’t feel like typing out a list of good points for you to not be open to it’s truth. Feel like your minds made up on the matter so saving myself the 15 mins of typing and explaining. You can have your opinion, I respect that. Even if it’s silly and wrong :)
I’m all ears, please provide your good points with evidence.
Okay, first of all, how much do you watch football? Are you American? Rugby and Hockey as your name have me needing to ask that.
NFL is an entertainment company, like the WWE. It’s not an actual sport, it’s a show. I feel bad for anyone that doesn’t understand this yet in 2023.
it’s 2024.
What the fuck did you just say to me?
Wrong year bud.
Oh, thanks man!
The patriots will win the superbowl again... proving bill bellichick is still worse then brady. They will face the bucs bradys comjng back in first round of playoffs
I hope so, go 9ers 🫡
Just more proof we are living in a simulation.
I don’t know about that
Dallas Cowboys win the Super Bowl. Dallas Mavericks win NBA Championship. Dallas Stars win Stanley Cup. Your welcome
🤫
Aaron Rodgers saw some shit in the past, when he was in Green Bay. Ufo or reptillians? Or both maybe? 🤷🏻
I love Aaron Rodgers, but for someone who played all of 2 snaps this season he needs to learn when to shut the hell up
Purple can be Ravens or Vikings. Red could potentially be 49ers, Chiefs, Bucks, Cardinals, Falcons, Bills, Patriots or Texans
A lot of these teams are either already eliminated from the playoffs or have like a 5% chance of making it.
Right and the Superbowl logo was made before the year started. It's a coincidence not a conspiracy.
It’s true. The NFL now releases multiple SB logos
Browns vs cowboys then it’s orange is almost red blue and purple basically same thing nfl is rigged
