Will the NFL will be on the Panthers' side?


ThinkAboutIt

Recommended Posts

As always, AS LONG AS THE PANTHERS SUFFER NO MAJOR INJURIES, they can win this Sunday. What isn't the norm is how the officials will be pro-Panthers for maybe the first time in franchise history. The NFL wants Super Bowl 50 to be the Patriots vs the Panthers, Brady vs Cam, rematch of Super Bowl 38, rematch of the Monday Night Football classic from 2 seasons ago.

No doubt about it, as long as the Panthers don't play like crap or beat themselves in some way, there won't be any officiating excuses to complain about after this Sunday's game.

Patriots vs Panthers

Broncos vs Panthers

Patriots vs Cardinals

Broncos vs Cardinals

Both the NFL and the media want that first matchup. If not that one then the 2nd. Sorry Arizona, only Arizona and Cam-haters want you there instead.

Pretty sure the Super Bowl will do just fine with any of the 4 combinations. I don't think the NFL cares who gets there.

What part of the word "prefer" don't you understand? Of course the NFL AND THE MEDIA care.

In conclusion, anyone who tries to blame the officials for anything that happens Sunday is clueless.

Looks like you are looking past Arizona to me.

I stopped reading there because it's nonsense.

I said the NFL wants a certain matchup in the Super Bowl. That's not "looking past" anything, not that it would matter either way since I'm not on the field.

Did you not learn anything from our last opponent s fan base!!! AZ is in the scope. Revenge for that 2008 night game where we saw Jake delohomme got publicly executed... 

 

Ps. For the new fans that Arizona game is the straw that that broke the Panthers back . Caused years of misery  and marinating in the basement.

    • Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways. 
    • Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season. 
    • Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
