They called a great game today. Most crews want to take over the game and get flag happy in order to get more face time on camera. These guys were actually calling a good game and not calling any ticky tack bs. Minus 1 or 2 bad spots, they were great. I wish they could officiate all of our games.

what was up with that 4th down spot they gave winston? i didn't catch the replay, but at first glance it looked like he stepped out a good 3 yards before the first down marker.

Ron challenged, he ended up keeping that foot in bounds and made the first down.

Not only that, but if you look where the official on the sideline spotted the ball compared to where the referee "matched" it on the hash mark, they aren't even the same spot.  On the sideline the tip of the front of the ball is at the middle of the yard line, whereas at the hash mark, the ref spots the tip of the back of the ball there.  Seriously, go watch that if you still have it DVRed and tell me that's not the case.  I can take bad spots because of missing the play, but I don't understand not matching the spot on the sideline and hash mark.

I did notice that and pointed it out to my wife that they had the balls at different  locations on the yard markers. Oh, well.

lol not sure if serious...don't confuse not being a disaster with being good.

We had to waste a challenge to get a TD that was clear as day and had a flag picked up...when is the last time the Panthers had a flag picked up when a flag was thrown against them? I've seen it done against the Panthers a couple of times but never for them.

Also our DL is obviously never going to get holding calls for whatever reason but they were tackling our DEs again for the 4th straight game.

I mean yea they didn't get flag happy but this crew had also thrown the most flags and had the worst grade coming into the game...it could just as easily have been them not wanting to extend the game due to the weather...refs don't want to be out there in that poo and you honestly have to wonder how much the rain affects the vision of the ref to see a penalty even happen.(like players have said in snowy or foggy games they try to get away with murder if they can because it's harder to see holds and stuff in weather games)

It was relatively balanced today, they did do a good job.  I actually think it may have been tipped slightly in our favor (late hit on the new guy, and another one I can't remember off the top of my head that I confessed at the time to my Bucs fan buddy was a bad no call), but overall by far the best refereeing job for us of the season.

But it could win us another MNF game...

Pats deserve it no matter what plus lester was in front of Gronk no matter what...that play would have been a pick regardless of anything...even remove Luke from the play entirely and its a pick.

But yea I'll take as many as we can get since it hardly ever happens...we are the team that perpetually gets screwed over by the refs but yea I forgot they actually threw a flag on the play I mis remembered that they were saying a flag SHOULD have been called but yea they threw it and it was good that the refs let the players decide the outcome of the game instead of a flag.

FWIW I don't think it was a penalty against Tampa on Brown but contact is supposed to happen AFTER the ball hits the WR not simultaneously...so if it was letter of the law type of thing or if it was a crew that stuck to their guns you know you've seen that called and witheld...but yea I think those types of penalties if upheld are bad for the game...but homer gonna homer and I feel we are owed as much as we can get based off past screw jobs.

Did you watch any games last year?  We benefited from a flag being picked up more than any team I have ever seen in my entire life.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
