Just realized I had a good frame of this... panthers-colts-1.thumb.jpg.4079a1383abe4

 

May have been a hold. But if it was, it was probably the least ticky tack holds of the night that went called or uncalled. 

Interesting time to throw the flag. Game would have been over without it. Hard to believe that did not play a factor in the refs decision.

You know, I wouldn't have cared if the Colts were getting flags for TACKLING OUR D-LINEMAN TO THE GROUND all game.  Short was held literally, all game, no joke.  I mean, I seen jersey in hands that second half with no calls.

Also, are people finally starting to come around to the fact the refs are pushing the games to one side or the other?  I know a few of us have talked about this in the past but everyone thought we were crazy.  It's more obvious every year.

The refs desperately tried to hand the game away. 

I don't know if the NFL, ESPN and/or the refs wanted the Colts to win or to at least make it a game. I imagine the Panthers winning 23-6 isn't good for business. 

It's the NFL.  It's the only thing that makes sense because the officials hardly ever face consequences for bad calls.  They keep doing it weekly and you never hear anything.  In fact, even refs with bad ratings get to ref playoff games and whatnot because of their system.   The only reason we probably got the game against Luck was because they wanted Luck to crush us so they could compare Cam to Luck and choose Luck.

I don't know about this game or Cam vs Luck, but if you think there isn't some form of tampering going on in a multi billion dollar industry, then you don't understand how capitalism works.

You don't leave everything up to "chance" and "fair competition" when this kind of money is at stake.

Absolutely! I actually paused the game once to show my wife (who was not pleased with my incessant screaming at the TV at midnight) KK's jersey completely turned around after TWO linemen pulled him away from Luck.

Look the refs were terrible.  The botched review, the clock stopping when tackled in bounds, the additional time added to the play clocks.  But let's face it...

 

The extended arm wrapped around the guy you're blocking will get a holding call more often than not.  You can't have an arm wrapped around the back of the defender you're blocking.  

 

The problem is that the colts did it multiple times and it wasn't called.  That's bullshit.  All I want is a consistent application of the rules.

      OTA's

      I would say the fact that Dave Canales insisted on a 6 year contract should tell anyone all they need to know about his potential job security under the Tepper's. No matter how much we have heard recently about how David Tepper has learned from this and that. This is still the same man who spent $43.5 million to buy and then immediately demolish a house because of who owned it previously.

      Same lineup to hopefully finish this one out tonight.  Here's today's projected lineup from the Hurricane's official website:   Tonight's Projected Lineup... Forwards Svechnikov - Aho - Jarvis Hall - Stankoven - Blake Ehlers - Staal - Martinook Carrier - Jankowski - Robinson Defense Slavin - Chatfield Miller - Walker Gostisbehere - Nikishin Starting Goaltender Andersen --- Injuries N/A Scratches Nicolas Deslauriers Pyotr Kochetkov Jesperi Kotkaniemi Mike Reilly --- PP1: Aho, Ehlers (Staal), Jarvis, and Svechnikov with Gostisbehere PP2: Blake, Hall, Jankowski, and Stankoven with Miller I'm getting to the point to where I have to get away from social media.  The narrative is still in some circles that Carolina has played no one.  I just don't see how you can continue to discount what our opponents in the playoffs have done, either to make it to the playoffs or the clubs they beat to faceoff against us.  I know this is how Carolina always get's treated, but if we win tonight our record is 12-1 in the playoffs. 12-1!  Meanwhile, along the way the "talking heads" had us losing in every round.  Maybe, just maybe, Carolina's just that damn good. /rant Here's to kickin azz and taking names tonight. LET'S GO CANES!!
