LOL Roughing the Passer

[Proudiddy]

FOX cuts to the WAS/NYG game after our disastrous beatdown and i believe it was the second play, Cousins threw a slant and was hit as he released.  The pass was incomplete  but a pass rusher made contact with Cousins helmet (it appeared incidental) as he hit him.  Refs called roughing the passer.

I know we can't change what's already been done, but officiating definitely cost us the season opener and threatened our QBs health...  Had that game been called the way any other game is called with any other QB not named Cam Newton, we'd be 2-1 right now.

I hate to bring it back up, but it's hard to accept that we were robbed of a Superbowl, and have been put in a hole to start this season due to intentional and egregious targeting of our team and QB by the league and its officials...  and when I watch any other game, it's a constant slap in the face of how differently we're treated and makes me wonder if we'll ever be given a legitimate chance to win a superbowl.  It's bullshit.  fug the NFL.

Seriously? Excuses are like assholes. You know how the saying goes.

I am over this. I appreciate information, clearly we aren't going to get calls. Cam was horse collared and hit in the head and nothing was called. That's not why we lost. The players looked defeated for three quarters of the game. They just weren't in it. You can tell by the ten penalties. Also, that was a pathetic display of coaching. To me, the only person who showed up was Keek.

I honestly think it has to do with Cam's attitude. If he wasn't so cocky while winning and acted a bit more mature the refs would sympathize with him more. 

Fug you with a rusty spiked spoon.

You are so right, Ethan.

Point to refs all you want.  You are giving an out to the coaches, where the blame for the loss lies.

Yeah, I'm not posting this about today.  I honestly didn't see anything during the game as far as calls for or against Cam that directly affected the outcome.  I think our team was mentally and emotionally drained considering all that has gone on in their city this week.  The Vikings did what they needed to do, but we just didn't show up.  The officiating was horrible, but that wasn't the reason we lost today, it just contributed to it.

I'm saying WEEK 1, is absolutely due to officiating.  The Superbowl was due to officiating.  It is blatant and egregious.  And it honestly, has started to affect how I view the game and makes me question how seriously we should take it.  

I'm just saying we should be 2-1 had it not been for officiating and if the officials had called our games like they do for all those cream puff QBs for 31 other teams.  Instead, we are 1-2 and historically, that doesn't bode well for playoff projection.  I bring it up again because literally every other game shows evidence of their bias against us.  It's a constant slap in the face.

Well at least the vikings weren't trying to scramble cam's brain when sacking him..

Man, I told somebody following the Denver game...  Did you hear me or many other fans complaining when Atlanta beat us last season?  Hell no.  They outright whooped us.  Straight up.  They weren't dirty about it, they just beat us.  

I can respect that.  The Vikings did what they needed to do.  I hate it, but they played a clean game.  The officials were shitty, but I don't know that in the end that even matters when it came to this game.  They looked ready and we didn't.

The officials were shitty on both sides of the ball. And people complaining about a horse collar when Griffin sacked newton are flat out wrong. He had the back of his jersey sure, but didn't yank him backwards. Oh, and he did that all with one arm while being held by your lineman.
