I think the actions of last week could have an impact this week. 

Norman is a very physical DB.  I think refs likely will be influenced to watch him extra hard and everything he does.

Impact? I think if he gets to the WR even ever so slightly before the ball.....refs are going to flag him on Sunday.   I think all DBs gets away with holding, early contact, etc. I don't think Norman does this week....which will give Juilo an edge he doesn't need. 

Carolina D is starting to look suspect.  Big game for them.  They are very inconsistent of late

I dont see it having much of any affect. The officiating is just too inconsistant to think of as a cohesive thing that reacts predictably.

NFL is a reactionary league at all levels IMO.  This was the biggest story of the week.

Defense has played pretty damn well with the exception of a couple lapses, probably why they're consistently ranked in the top 5. I don't think we see anything like yesterday in the playoffs.

2 of the last 3 weeks they have allowed 38 and 35 pts.

The closes game this year was the Saints. Other than that a couple comebacks. And yesterdays comeback was due to no Stewart so we will be fine. I really count this as a blowout imo cause if Stew was in we wouldve not fumbled and gave short field. We wouldve controlled the clock better. When you have a player that gets the ball over 20 times a game and have to air it it makes a difference.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
