Clete Blakeman to ref Super Bowl

Denver got Ed Hochuli in the AFCCG, who they also have an undefeated record with.

I'm not a believer of conspiracy theories, but Denver has caught way too many breaks this year - from playing injured opponents, to opponents making boneheaded mistakes in critical moments, to officiating.

Hope your team pounds them from the very beginning and gets out to an enormous lead, so that officiating plays no role in the outcome.

eh, 5 games isn't enough to reasonably raise any eyebrows.  They're in the Super Bowl because they're a good team that won most of their games.  There's surely a few officials that we're undefeated with this year.....  I'm curious if anyone has any legit observations about him.  Has he actually been seen to call games overly in the Bronco's favor?  Is he more of a "let them play" ref or one that likes to over-officiate?  I honestly have never even noticed this guy's name before.

Broncos are 5-0 in the games he's officiated. Guess we get to debunk another streak

He was also the official in Denver's Super Bowl two years ago.

Uh. By my math, they can't be undefeated then when he officiates.

Its the guy that reffed our MNF against the Pats where they picked up the flag against Luke. As long as we don't see some Joey Crawford/Lebron treatment towards Peyton I don't think its a big deal

First off, the Panthers were undefeated with every single NFL officiating crew this year except 1.  So those stats are just dumb when talking about good teams.

And it is really hard to make any observations about Clete Blakeman when it is not his crew that will be doing the Super Bowl.  It will be an all-star crew.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
