Ok. I was just sitting here thinking about that terrible roughing the passer penalty Sunday that I felt emboldened an already defeated Bucs squad. As Panthers fans getting pooed on by the refs is becoming almost something you can see coming as I did Sunday. The Bucs were getting embarrassed in front of their home crowd and the Panthers looked like theyre about to pull a shut out. Somehow I knew they would get "help" and so it was.

A couple plays later when DAs on the field he had one buc down behind his ankles while another basically speared him high and drove him into the ground well after the ball had left his hand. Coach Rivera was furious and... no call. This was right after the horrible penalty we got for our player running into the QB while upright and seemingly trying to pull up.

I've already ranted about the 49ers coronation we happened to be invited to last year in the playoffs. The refereeing in that game was suspect from the very start and became blatant by the end off the game with the guy jumping into our backfield and.....no call. The 49ers became emboldened when they saw THEY had the "help" that day and proceeded to do anything they wanted literally!

What can we do besides grumble? Organize! Let's call em out this year on their bulls**t! Id like to know if any of you guys have that have the capabilities to record and document theses egregious acts could record and post them here this season? The NFL should not be the WWF(WWE). Thanks!

Oh yeah! We are watching!

I watched a ton of the early games Sunday, and there were multiple roughing the passer calls that shouldn't have been.  Fact is, they are going to protect the QB.  We are going to benefit this year from these types of calls as well (we did multiple times last year).

 

The only issue I had with the officials is that the head ref, Pete Morelli was Doug Martin's high school principal.  I doubt it has any impact on how he calls the game, but you would think the NFL would avoid sending him to a Buc's game if Martin is playing.

How fugging bad was that roughing the passer call that DJ Swearinger got! Couldn't believe that one, wasn't even close. Luckily for the Texans they forced a turnover on the very next play.

Yeah, the fact that referees can have that much effect on a game is crap. I have wondered what can be done about it . How about this. Ron Rivera takes another patented but unprecedented (by him as overly emotional tirades is not his style) gamble and throws a hot turd caniption fit after about the third blatantly bad call to intentionally get ejected from the game. Upon leaving he calls his troops, the captains, to "kIck azz and take names" for him, thus firing them up to a frenzy. Yeah, yeah, I know it is a crazy idea but it is so crazy it just may work...as they say in the movies. Think about it Ron!

The Bucs hit DA twice as hard on one play by two people and it was a no call. Im just not a big fan of how they treat QBs these days IMO they should just blow the whistle when a defender wraps a QB. Thats a lot easier call than if the helmet hit or how they hit or if there left butt cheek was clenched while hitting the QB.

That game had me heated. And they were leading with their helmet early on. Ron need to start cussing their asses out. That roughing the passer was already like a 10 yard play, add the penalty literally moved them on the other side of the 50 to our 30. Its humid and hot as fug, its getting towards the end... I mean just give them 7 pts

I agree, but it is not going to change.

 

Watch the game closely Sunday.  When Cam plays, i guarantee you he will get some flags thrown his way for his protection.

 

Whether we like or not, the NFL has built this monster as a QB driven league by making them the faces and stars of the game.  The QB's sell the most merchandise and more often than not put the casual fan's butt in the seat.  They are going to go overboard on protecting their investments (even if that means questionable calls against little known or no name defensive players like Thomas Decoud).

 

I do wish they would get away with the hands to helmet BS roughing call, and also wish they would make helmet to helmet hits reviewable on the QB.  If the ref flags a defender for leading with the helmet, however he doesn't make contact with the QB's helmet (that should be a penalty that is looked at and overturned).

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
