Im seeing tons of calls that are momentum changers and they look so clear on tv, isn't that what the instant replay was designed to fix but it doesn't seem to be working and now people are telling me its all rigged anyway.

they are old men who can't possibly put themselves in position to make most calls. Half the time they guess. They really should have an official in the TV both to watch the games like any fan is, and buzz the guys on the field if they a bad call. It would probably add an extra 10 minutes that I would gladly accept to get a non-controversial outcome. The officials have always been bad, don't think I have ever watched a game where the outcome wasn't affected by the calls.
In football the cumulative drive sums up the scoring play. If you make a bad call it changes the score which dictates how you orchestrate the next drive. We have the technology to see millions of distant galaxies but if an official sees a player fall he assumes and guesses a 10 yard penalty, negating a 30 yard pass, and so on... you only hope it affects your opponent more than your team but the officials have always been TERRIBLE.

Every game I watched this week had bad calls in them. It seemed like the bad calls went both ways (except maybe the Colts/Giants game, that was terrible and it ended the game for the Giants). There were two challenges in the Dallas Jacksonville game, that were over-turned and any one with a set of eyes had problems figuring out what the official saw there.
It has gone from bad to worse. I saw a suggestion on here from a guy that said, they should start fining the officials for bad calls. I agree with this completely, these guys are too old and there is no consequence for their mistakes. They will just keep doing it until they are too blind to find the Field.
Nothing worse than a game, that is won by the officials!

Yes it is rigged - Vince McMannon from the WWE purchased the NFL this past summer.
STOP YOUR COMPLAINING ALL READY GIANT FANS!
