I've never believed the NFL was rigged...

It was really bad. I also never want to believe that the NFL is rigged, but my belief is dwindling. This had the feel of last year when we played the 49ers in the playoffs. Anybody who watched that game knew the refs were obviously on the 49ers side. I still can't get over that rigged game. Seriously though, it's getting really bad.

I first started believing the year Delhomme  gave his double gifts to the bears.

Not rigged but it's clear they wanted Dallas to advance. If you thought that was bad, how do you think it's going to be up in Seattle? Nobody outside of Panther fans wants to see us advance. I expect 0 calls to go our way.

 

I can't even imagine how one-sided that game is going to be called. To the NFL, It would be a travesty if a 7-8-1 team beats the defending superbowl champs in their own house, expect the most BS calls you ever witnessed.

what would be the best scenario then watch how it plays out?  Cowboys to SB would be huge.The Cowboys playing Carolina in Champ game not so much. just sayin... on second thought maybe the PTB would want the 'boys to have an easier road, maybe we will get some help after all.

I just want a fair called game. That's all I ask for. Let's legitimately see who really is the best team out of these two without the ref's help.

It was a shitty call, but was it all that different from the kuechly/gronk play from MNF last year? And I cant feel too sorry for the lions, the league didnt make Jim Caldwell pull a ron rivera circa week 4 2013 move by not going for it on 4th and 1 near midfield and watching his punter only kick the ball 10 yards.

Refs are bad, that's why every play needs to be capable of being challenged for accuracy by officiating crew. Same rules like 2 challenges per team or third if you correctly challenge two, but not every player can be seen at the same time by all the refs, mistakes (or rigged calls) can be made.

1. It was holding off the line of scrimmage that became PI when the defender never bothered to play the ball. 1 missed penalty and the second, well, the flag was thrown, it was announced on live television, then the flag was picked up with no explanation whatsoever.

 

2. It was unsportsmanlike conduct when 88 came onto the field without his helmet and jawed with the refs when he's not a captain and he's not on defense. 2nd missed penalty.

 

3. It was either unsportsmanlike conduct for (pick one) either excessive celebration or removing the helmet on the field when Murray scored a TD, reached up and unsnapped his chin strap, then began gesticulating wildly enough his helmet came off. 3rd missed penalty.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
