If you are so convinced that the league is 'rigged against' the Redskins, why do you even watch? It is obviously rigged by your account. Redskins will never 'be allowed' to compete for a championship? Right?

So why watch? Why engage on this forum? Why not just stick to Madden where the obvious conspiracy against the Redskins cannot reach?

Did you watch Vikes@Seahawks last night? What about that obvious no call on Wagners blocked field goal? Clearly there is a conspiracy for such an obvious no call. Right?

All you have brought forward is conjecture. Still no proof.

While I prefer you just go away, I think the point isn't that it's rigged against the Redskins, as much as the NFL is possibly influencing outcomes so that divisions, and hence and of season ratings, are more competitive. And specifically for Dallas, the NFL always prefers that they are a competitive team because you have a sway on ratings. I think the centralized review and call procedures have added to that appearance, and any time one team starts getting clear non-calls/favorable calls the questions are going to be asked.

Like has been pointed out, starting with the Boys win over the Skins there have been several non-called egregious helmet to helmet hits, and the "no clear recovery" ruling was a joke.

A similar one in the Seattle game is as you mentioned the picked up flag against Seattle for jumping over the line. Basically the point being if you want to know who the NFL wants in the playoffs from a ratings perspective, look at how the egregious calls have gone, and I am betting you will see a trend.
