That one was tough with the stupid catch rules. Historically that wouldn't be a catch. Thats not one I'd be the most concerned about

Gemini but thanks

Nice ChatGPT copy and paste, OP

The problem with most conspiracy theories is the incredible assumption that every single one of the people involved will maintain complete secrecy throughout their entire lives. Yeah.

nothing surprises me anymore the same league that gave us two games against home openers to start the season, an important division game on the road to end the regular season, an awful bye, all in a year where we play more road games than home games.

the league apparently confided this to the team in secret and was hoping it wouldn’t get out ”sorry we messed up your season-don’t tell anyone though”

Going Ehlers

Why not 5 in a row?

The amazing part is this is the first functional NFL level staff Tepper has put together and the best out of 3 total yet they still can't figure out how to put together a sneak package. It's wild how bad that is given the amount of money being pissed away by people not doing the bare minimum yet we still see frequent post of 'his hands are tied what else can he do?'. IDK flip a RB under center and put Bryce behind for thr threat, lol, of a pass? Just use DB? Or just run Bryce regardless since that's his freaking job?

It would be all of the crooked Refs

Well, the last three weeks calls have been heavily slanted against us.. Why stop now

David Tepper, he is the root of all our problems

NFL can you lube up before you finger us next time

Some context. Even on the best defenses linebackers and secondary have similar miss tackles. Do those numbers mean anything? Seattle and Houston Looking around the league it seems like Horns missed pct is significant but not sure the others stick out

Well we have no Basis for 46 year old Brees unless you think the panthers want to call him up and Rivers it.

Terrible

This poo is schizo AF and I love it! It's like if Pepé Sylvia was a bookie!

Refs 100% rig the game. Whether it’s bias or incompetence or some combination of both. The outcome is the same. Teams, players, coaches, all get cheated and potentially lose their jobs because of the refs idiot bullshit. The NFL is complicit in this because the refs have no consequences and nothing is fixed mid game. Therefore in that sense the games are rigged. You are not seeing the better team win. Secondly the refs are indignant and don’t like being told then they are wrong and change the way they officiate off that. I don’t give a fug if someone is yelling in your face. You should have the integrity to call the game fair and justly. Enough is enough. They should be held accountable. They already stole a god damn Super Bowl from us and are about to derail the franchise with last weeks all you can eat cheapshot bullshit. Add insult to injury that it was against the poo infested gutter ball Saints winning off penalties. Priority #1 next season is destroying them in every way imaginable.

I’m not an nfl script theorist. But more of a “NFL controls momentum in key games and it works to their advantage 80% of the time theorist” and I think certain refs get certain games for certain reasons. I could be very wrong, but I think the NFL wants us and Tampa to drag out to Week 18 and I think they knew if we beat NO, it could be over this week. It’s more exciting to drag it out and let pivot back and forth.

You could be right about that. There's a chaos factor here and the money will be flowing towards the Bucs. The fact the Panthers have never won a game with Shawn Smith as the referee makes it an even more improbale scenario. Panthers haven't won a game as the favorite since early 2021.

I wonder what else they admitted to us. Maybe Smith is here to right the wrongs, about 78% of the cash is flowing on TB. People would be expecting what you’re saying. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers#

Maybe in some situations but that call was taken up to the booth and overturned. When it goes to the "booth", they can decide whatever they want and make up the reasons why on the spot and apologize later, or so it seems.

Not a wizard it was just a very educated prediction I was confident about. I've done a lot of research on how the NFL manages games with the referees and tendencies certain referee crews have, and sports betting has a lot to do with it. The NFL 100% assigns referee crews to specific games to impact and manage the outcome. The Panthers were a heavy moneyline favorite before and for most of the Saints game. I could see based on the calls that the Panthers were not going to be winning that game. The phantom kickoff return formation penalty and some very questionable holding calls/hands to the face calls that the Panthers were being managed to keep the game close. I was hoping to be seeing a Panthers victory on Sunday but it doesn't seem to be happening that way per the ref assignment either. Looks like it'll be a comfortable Bucs win with maybe some late game feverish comeback attempt that falls short. Maybe the NFL cooks up some drama with the Dolphins beating the Bucs and a surprise Panthers win over the Seahawks setting up an improbable last week winner take all game no one saw coming but I think it's better TV viewership to have the Bucs in the playoffs over the garbage Panthers. Bucs probably win by 7 but it could be double digits if Bryce turns the ball over.

I thought you was going to say Alex Moore again and I was about to throw my phone into the ceiling fan.
