That would be interesting! I don't see it happening... I think both Detroit and KC are the under dogs so both winning is unlikely... but possible!

Between this being their 6th straight conference championship appearance, all the Taylor Swift stuff and seeing Mahomes/Reid on State Farm commercials almost literally every single NFL commercial break I'm just ready for them to go away. Mahomes is like the spokes person for any product in NFL commercials. It's so annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pre-determined to be Baltimore vs. San Fran. Look at the Super Bowl logo colors. A bit weird that the logo always seems to match the teams that end up there later. Purple & Red this year. Well, the only way that can happen is........ Yep, it's a conspiracy, sure. Just like paying the Bills kicker millions to miss to get another week of the Taylor Swift thing. It's all scripted. The writers finally started feeling bad for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My retort the these conspiracies is: if you’re so sure it’s scripted go bet your house and retirement on it. Otherwise it’s just using the benefit of hindsight to create narratives. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise it’s just using the benefit of hindsight to create narratives. If the refs were in the tank for KC, the obvious place would have been on the fumble out of bounds in the end zone. It was close to a 50/50 and it went touch back Buffalo, and was a 7pt swing as it would have been KC 1st and goal at the 2. IIRC, the network's pet ex-official did agree with the call -- after it was made. And it was an overturn so it would have been easy to say the evidence was not clear and convincing enough.

But you have to think of the safety of others. See, if he's out of football, he starts working on rockets and that could lead to people dying. So, in order to save lives (and billions of dollars) someone in the NFL needs to hire him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben9753 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) So a multi billion dollar industry fixes their most important games, a scheme which if uncovered would destroy the league and land people in prison, but Vancouver Island TV is in on it???

Motown Bombers Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I also don't know why the NFL wouldn't want the Lions in the Super Bowl since they have been a ratings bonanza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me the fact that there are dynasties and more importantly anti-dynasties is proof that it isn't scripted. Mixing things up and making everyone has their turn in the sun keeps all fan bases engage and rabid. Having a team in the league that hasn't won it all in half a century-plus isn't smart.
