To all the diehard NFL fans there, you still think the game is not fixed?

Question

First of all, I love PEyton Manning and I think he is hands down the best quarterback of all time, and yes the Chargers defense are playing horrible right now. But looking all the important Colts game in the past, theres overwhelming evidence that NFL favors them. Those of you say well there are some of bad calls against Colts in the past, well Obviously they are not going to always favor Colts then people will know. Anybody watch Chargers game last night, the colts receivers ran out of bound, and they ruled it inbound, and those two phantom pass interference. And a clear anthony gonzales fumble was ruled a no n reviewable play. Looking at last year in the Playoff, full of bad calls against Chargers when they played Colts, phantom holding negated Antonio Cromartie's int for TD, and all replay went in favor of Colts. Especially couple years ago, when Colts played Steelers, they overtunred Troy Polamalu's interception. Big Examples would be whenever they play against Patriots, they always get the right call. Last year Patriots got penalized 145 yards, and there are so many call against them, yet they still won. Colts got the superbowl because that phantom pass interference against Ellis Hobbs and no calls against Colts defenders. I mean dont you people think NFL loves Colts, because the money of games and merchandises and the TV rating that Colts bring them? Also Bill Polian is a member of competition commitee, he definitely has some power over referees. Back in 2003 AFC championship Colts got screwed by the referees, he has pushed NFL for penalties against defenders, but now he is doing the exactly opposite thing that bothered Colts on other teams, bad penalties!. Think about last game when Colts played Jaguars, they can rule a fumble into an incomplete pass. This year they played Vikings, they clearly not got into endzone, yet referees ruled a touchdown. I could go on and on, I guess NFL love its star and will do anything to help Colts get a shot into playoffs.

Update:

Doesnt it make you wonder when Colts need help in or get into playoff, referees always help them, i mean they say referees are human, but what about all those ridiculously bad calls, come on! And yeah there are bad calls against colts, but obviously NFL are not going to favor colts every play, because people will suspect them. I mean NFL is not 100 percent fixed, but it definitely has some teams that it favors

You do just never know for sure.  People were denying on this forum that a crucial call in a past OSU/Illinois game that changed the outcome & other non-calls by the same official were not something that was important.  

The post noted that, by the time the comment was posted, the official had already been indicted for his associations with known gambling cartels, fired from his day job, etc,

Most officials just honestly blow calls sometimes.  Sometimes it is not an accident.
NFL wouldn't gain by fixing a game.  An official would collect.

i can't recall one nfl game where there hasn't been a call that was considered bad by someone. what possible reason would there be to say that the nfl fixed any game, does the nfl get more money? 

manning and other great QB's paid their dues on bad teams, can't fault them for getting better when they get surrounded by better players

There is no way that an educated, rational sports fan can conclude that the NFL is fixing its games.

You are completely irrational. I've said it before....If you so strongly believe the games are fixed, why do you continue to watch?

Sometimes you get calls, and sometimes you don't.

I repeat, sometimes you get calls, and sometimes you don't.
