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

if you back that replay up you will see him holding the TE jersey while coming off the line.

I noticed that in real time. At the very least should have been called offsetting. Then Fez should have been flagged. So a net gain of 15 yards.

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.

 

 

That won't be the case.  For whatever reason, Seahawks opponents were the least penalized teams in football all year.   You guys will probably get away with bloody murder

I just want a fair called game. But that's too much to ask in this era of football. The refs have gotten so horrible and biased that it's almost impossible to watch football now. These stupid new rule changes and the refs are impacting the outcome of more and more games now instead of letting the teams battle it out.

The thing is not just it being picked up, the penalty was confirmed on the pa system. Then they pick it up really quick and don't say a thing.  Some fishy sh*t.  

3 penalties on Dallas on that one play, none called.  That being said, the Lions then let them run 60 yds in the other direction for a score.   

 

You are right, but you left out some key points as well. 

 

After the picked up flag, it was fourth and one. Why didn't the Lions go for it? Bell would have gotten it easy, he wasn't stopped

 

at all in the game. Probably would have made it. When they didn't go for it, a 10 yard punt happened. Point number three, 

 

STOP Dallas from driving on you and converting a fourth and six while doing it. Don't fumble twice on the game winning drive. 

 

Blah, blah, blah.......

The NFL does have a hand in games ever so slightly. If you want more evidence of refs cheating teams out of the game look at our very own Panthers. Every match up vs Dallas  since 2005 has been a screw job by the refs. Also look at the playoffs last year. they had a huge part in us not playing our game against the 49ers.

I don't think the NFL itself is rigged, but officials seem so incompetent from game to game, I wouldn't be surprised if a few of them are bought and sold.  But most of them just seem awful.

 

This article has it right: Officials have too much control over the game now.  http://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/01/dez-bryant-dallas-cowboys-amazing-catch-fire-brimstone-gene-steratore

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.
