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).

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
