Panthers beat Seahawks with nothing going their way

I re-watched the game on NFL Game Rewind (or whatever they call it now) and I noticed a few things about the game:

1. The Seahawks didn't get called for a single PI, and only the one Sherman holding call. The Sherman holding helped us a lot, but it was the only break we got there, and Tedd Ginn and Philly Brown were getting tackled nearly every play (sidebar, but I think this game helped the offense see that Funchess is strong enough to hold his own against corners. He was hanging in and getting open, just never held onto it).

2. The Seahwaks OL didn't get called for a single hold. They were holding the whole game, it helped Wilson make explosive plays routinely in this game.

3. The tipped ball interception probably would've been a TD to Tedd Ginn. Just based on how well Cam was slinging it in the late parts of this game I don't think it would given Cary Williams a shot at making that play. They ended up picking it off, leading to a field goal too.

4. The obvious PI against Ginn that would've set us up inside the 30. Tedd Ginn played pretty damn well, they were just holding him and knocking him down repeatedly. 

5. The Seahawks banked in a field goal at one point

6. The missed PAT. I hesitate to put this here because I watched all of the PATs and Sherman affected all of them. But still, a missed PAT is something unfortunate that doesn't happen very often. 

7. Thomas Davis dropped a pick off a KK tip, the Seahawks got a pick off their tipped pass (#3).

8. We were -2 in TOs. Panthers even more so than other teams struggle to win when this happens

In the context of #5, that was only about a 30 yard field goal, so while the Seahawks did get a good bounce, the odds of that field goal being made were very high already. Had it been a 55 yarder or so that needed to bounce over the crossbar or something, THAT would be more appropriate for "things just not going the Panthers' way."

He held onto a couple of important 4th qtr. balls.

 a missed PAT is something unfortunate that doesn't happen very often. 

It's happening a lot more often now. More misses through week 2 than all of last season. 

For #9 I'd say no breaks on a starting field position.

in 2nd Quarter after our possession where Kalil had to leave for a play, the play right after Graham got flagged for unsportsmanlike for pulling Coleman off the pile, LT Okung got flagged for holding which erased Lynch's 15 yard run and Seattle had to replay 3rd down. KK then sacked Wilson and killed that drive in which Seattle did get a couple big plays

But yeah you're 95% right. Only other holding call I saw in Seattle's backfield was on Lynch for holding Shaq when he was about to sack Wilson and Wilson was able to throw it away. That hurt cuz Shaq had him for about a 15 yard loss

Said it every game, we win despite the ref's.  NFL tells these guys what to see and they don't want them to see us get fouled!  As if JR peed in some bodies Corn Flakes. 

Haven't watched a base ball game in years because of the League itself.  NFL keeps trying to make who they want to win WIN they going to loose me real quick now.  These Officials not this Stupid all the time.

The Greg Olsen horse collar got me heated. 

Also when the clock didn't stop on the pass to the sidelines late in the fourth quarter was mind boggling. 

 

I remember that, my bud and I watching the game were talking about that.  Then later there was a play where a Panthers receiver got tackled IN BOUNDS and the clock stopped, probably to make up for their mistake.  NFL needs to get their poo together with clock management.

I'm not going to be popular with this opinion, but I don't think the refs were biased in this game.

We got away with one or two cases where personal fouls should of probably been called. We also held on the o-line several times, and I wasn't even looking for it.

The refs decided to let the teams play and kept penalties to a minimum, usually only calling things that were obvious. I thought they did a good job.

All that said, that no-call for pass interference against Ginn was crap.

They virtually had to call the hold on the Lynch run. Luke would have made that tackle easily, and kept it to a 3-4 yard gain.

#10 The phantom false start on Olsen.

Every o-line does some holding that isn't called. But when Wilson takes off to his right & they have a tv shot of our d-lineman turned towards Wilson to chase him, but a Seattle o-lineman has his arms around his waist from behind & is not letting go, that's blatant holding. 

I honestly think some officiating crews this year are overwhelmed with all the confusing changes that have been made. And those are no spring chickens out there trying to keep up with everyone. Maybe they need to retire them earlier & hire younger people.

The officials suck this year but they suck equally for everyone. Panther opponents have had just as many penalties called against them as they've called against the Panthers. The narrative that the refs are out to get us is false and just plain wrong when you look at the facts. The refs are just poo all around this year.

This guy gets it.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
