There's a hole in Superman's cape; now, thanks to the Denver Broncos, the entire NFL is fully aware of it.  Up to this point, Cam Newton has looked invincible.  Rookie records? Of course. All-time NFL records?  Sure, already got those, too.  NFL MVP and Offensive Player of the Year?  Ditto.  Even significant injuries haven't been able to derail Cam: broken spinal processes from a car wreck, ankle issues...no problem for Superman.  But a hole has been discovered by the Broncos defense, and the rest of the League can now rejoice, since it means that there is a way to stop Cam and the Panthers from League domination.  And that hole is the ear hole on Cam's helmet.  Sure, every player has an ear hole in their helmet, but for the rest of the League, especially its starting quarterbacks, hitting that ear hole repeatedly is forbidden by the referees and the NFL rules.  Hit Tom or Russ in the ear hole?  You'll be lucky to escape with a roughing penalty or a fine, as ejection or a suspension looms overhead.  Not so with Cam Newton, and the Broncos just telegraphed that to the rest of the League.  Cam Newton, being the biggest and most versatile QB this League has ever seen, has been deemed "too big to fail" so to speak; you can't stop him legally, so hit him in the only weak spot he has: his head.  There shall be no recourse, at least not until well after the game has ended, and let's face the truth.  This League is about winning, fines and such be damned.  The players will take the win and the fine, thank you very much, and thanks to the whistle-swallowing by Gene Steratore and his crew on Thursday night, it's been shown that not even a fine may be forthcoming when it comes to tagging Cam's head.  It seems the League has decreed that neurotrauma to Cam takes a backseat to parity, since without an otherwise-exploitable weakness the Panthers could dominate for years to come: it's really the only explanation that makes sense when you think about it.  So go ahead, defensive players of the NFL, go ahead and aim for the one weakness that Cam has: his head, the hole in Superman's cape, as the NFL has just issued you a license to do so.  

The hole is the NFL. The hole is the Refs. The hole is the Dirty Players. The hole is the Player Safety False Agenda. The hole is the Bias Media. The hole is the System is Rigged.

... We missed the fg.. That's it... 

Agreed.  We lost the game by one because of a missed 50 yard field goal.  We were playing the defending sb champs on the road, and going up against one of the best defenses in the NFL.  Other than the L, the only concern I have coming out of this game is the way Denver was able to run the ball against us.  That is something we need to fix.

I'd like to say that you're wrong.

But the NFL is a copycat league.  And unless the NFL dishes out some severe punishment due to what occurred Thursday night (and there's a 99.9999% probability that they won't), when you're right you're right.

Grow a following and attack the partnerships. Develop a new narrative that will harm their brand. Get their attention and then make your demands.

Brandon Marshall Loses Endorsement Deal

You can notify the NFL of what you will do. Do not send them a letter asking them to stop. You need to go after the companies that feed the machine and get your message to the top.

Good luck.

You guys realize that if any player gets earholed multiple times in a game that it's going to affect them, if not hurt them. This is a moot point. That officiating crew was just jacked up, nothing more.

I made the point that no one is immune to neurotrauma, it's just that Cam seems to be incapable of drawing a flag when he's subjected to the hits that cause it. And yes, the referees are to blame, but the NFL could put a stop to it if they wanted to. Unemployment as an NFL referee is a wonderful deterrent to indifference.
