NFL is even pissing off the refs...

again.

The first call was Washington defensive lineman Chris Baker's cheap shot on Philadelphia quarterback Nick Foles in Week 3, which drew a 15-yard penalty and ejection. NFL executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent strangely said Baker did nothing wrong and wouldn't be fined, even though he clearly broke the NFL rule on blindsiding a player away from the play.

The NFL was quick to say a 15-yard penalty on Chiefs safety Husain Abdullah, who slid to the ground after a touchdown and went into Muslim prayer, was incorrectly called. The league didn't even wait 12 hours after the call was made on Monday night to say it was wrong.

The NFLRA said that the league is saying one thing and doing another.

“In the last two weeks, two penalties that were called in games that drew national attention were publicly announced to be in error by the League office, however the Officiating Department later graded the calls as correct. This has caused confusion for NFL officials as to what the League does and doesn’t want called,” the Referees Association said in a statement, via Pro Football Talk.

I read the rulebook and even I agree the Baker hit was a cheap shot and against what the rules state.

I'm not usually one of those "FIRE GOODELL types"....

 

 

But please... please... get rid of him. 

 

This league is crumbling under him.

 

The dude should be allowed to pray. The Golden Calf of Bristol was allowed to. The blindside block should've been penalized. The refs were actually right in those cases.

people love high scoring but my goodness make it fair, let's bring back bump and run or something.I would also like to make it unsportmanlike to call for pass interference . Every incomplete pass play some receiver is running around with their hand up in the air.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tbe · Posted

      Sure, that is possible. That’s what, an extra 55 yards a game on average and 7 more TDs? What if he’s just 15th?  I imagine they would extend him in that situation due to the belief that he’ll keep trending up. maybe a 3 year contract to prove he can be top 10? Sounds like a Tepper plan.
