The NFL and 2 Halfs of Football

SEATTLE PLAYED GREAT 1st and should have lost the game in the 2nd Half...

Sorry for the edit but voicing an opinion is beginning to SUCK around here.

call me crazy but if vegas conspired with the tv channels and blah blah blah--- wouldnt it be wise for the game to stay close at halftime so they would KEEP THEIR VIEWING AUDIENCE and not lose them to the 11:00 news or to sleep (for east coast guys)

do you have any idea how many people i talked to that DIDNT EVEN SEE the indy comeback because they went to bed since they had to get up in the morning and theres no point watching a blowout.

thats what you conspiracy theorists fail to realize.

TV ratings only apply to people who STILL TUNE IN AND WATCH. no matter how compelling a finish, if a game is lopsided at halftime, they lose a lot of their audience.

so people that say "that indy game was fixed for TV ratings"........ half of ABC's audience didnt even see the end of it. they were sleeping or already tuned out.

ok, here comes all the people saying the games and lines are fixed, lets all hear the non sense...I agree it was fishy with the calls and such, but bet a few thousand games in your life, count the good breaks and bad, and they usually come close to evening out
