National Fixed League

I hate to be that guy, but I watched every snap and this game was scripted. Raiders dominated the entire game until the last 5 min or so. Ok you blew the cover, no biggie, but to lose on the field is absolutely insane. How in the world do you let a QB with zero experience with the team come down and score with 1:45 and no timeouts. Stupid penalties and not playing prevent defense was controlled. Not much emotion from the players or coach either. It just seems too scripted for Baker to get a win like that. They had to save face for all the commercials he's in. Someone got paid a lot of money for this. I think it needs to be investigated.

During the third quarter, I kept wondering why the Raiders were handing off and not passing. Carr only threw 20 times. Only targeted Adams like 4 or 5. Even when Jacobs briefly came out, they were still running the ball. They let everyone think that the Raiders were gonna win and swept the rug out last minute.

Just about every time they showed a Rams offensive replay there was a blatant hold that wasn’t called.

 

[MrSports]

Oh yeah definitely!! You are correct on that. I don't mind losing, but when its obvious like that, it really turns me off from betting. It seriously needs to be looked into. Someone paid alot for this to happen. I'd guarantee it.

 

[MrSports]

They even called a ball a catch that clearly hit the ground. The cast was even in on persuading people that it was a catch. I have never seen a ball hit the ground and be called a catch, and I mean EVER!! They are changing rules to win games now.

And you have to have the bonehead who knocks the ball out of the centers hand for 15 yard penalty. SMH

You don't have a multi-billion dollar company, and let fate make your decisions.

 

[Slumdog]

That kinda game makes people hang it up. Puts bettors into retirement. Ridic

As much as I never wanted to believe this, I'm afraid it's true.

Last night’s loss still hurts - I had Raiders ML + Under.

98 fu@&$n yards for the winning TD- come on.

 

[MrSports]

It sure does hurt! YYZ you nailed it. I always knew it and expected it, but this game was bad. It was soooo obvious and Vegas reached deep into the well. :facepalm:

At this point, if you don't realize some "funny stuff" goes on from time to time, you have your head in the sand, are incredibly naive, own LOTS of swampland, and still believe in Santa and the Easter Bunny. As the saying goes, where there is money there is corruption, and with the explosion of gambling sites and legalized gambling circles there is a TON of money bet on these games now.

Nothing prevents you from being on the right side of the fix! :toast::0008

That's Raiders football!

 

[MrSports]

I 100% realize its shady but what im saying is it was really obvious on Thursday. They did not even make it look good as to where people can say "that was 50/50" on whether or not it was fixed. This was 100% scripted. Blowing the cover is one thing, but then going the extra mile to rig the ML bumps it to another level.

 

[MadJack]

i don't believe the games are fixed. That's a ridiculous assumption, IMO.

The consequences would be extreme if anybody was ever caught. And everybody would have to be in on it too. There are so many disgruntled ex players and coaches don't you think it would have been leaked by now? And if somebody had proof of it being fixed they would be offered a ton of money to expose it. I call bullshit.

My last post in this thread, I'm not going to debate it, this is just my opinion and I won't change my mind.

 

[yyz]

You don't hear wrestling guys say it's fixed.

:shrug:

 

[MrSports]

I’m not here to argue with anyone but you clearly didn’t watch the entire game on thursday cause that just doesn’t happen. I don’t believe every game is fixed. Whenever there is 50/50 money there is no need to. I feel it was fixed more for Baker and ratings, but Vegas also reaped the benefit of making money as well.

 

[Slumdog]

The 4th and 1 rams converted by an inch ??? How do you fix that ?

It’s obv not fixed ….. you just have really dumb people coaching and playing. It’s that simple.

you have too many players and coaches To get in on it. It’s not boxing. No way these games are fixed. It’s impossible even if they tried.

 

[yanno]

What Jack and Slumdog said. But also, there is no way the NFL brand, which represents a multi billion dollar industry (NFL reportedly generated record-setting $11 billion in revenue last season), would under any circumstances want a premium franchise like the Los Vegas Raiders almost eliminated from their playoffs by a team that is already out. xstop

This statement I approve. :0corn Game was over when Mad Maxx sacked QB...than Raiders in typical fashion knocks ball out of QB hands giving them new life. This is what the Raiders do , they make dumb penalties and can't close out games. The 45 yard pass was insanely accurate and the catch was great, can't script that. Gambling is frustrating, and betting on the Raiders amplifies that. 999 more times that game ends with Raiders win, LA fighting for jobs and respect and Raiders fighting themselves again to close out their season with a ton of talent on their roster.
