I guess Bruce and Carson are pretty upset over that botched call yesterday... my advice to them would be to stand in line.http://www.espn.com/blog/arizona-cardinals/post/_/id/23054/carson-palmer-felt-fumble-was-an-obvious-pass

what has Bruce's excuse for both his lines being utterly dominated the majority of the game.  I would think a reasonable person would assume that had much more to do with the outcome of the game than a iffy call.

I mean, let's be real that was a bad call. The ball spiraled as it came out, didn't show an open hand, and David Johnson was in the area. It was clearly an incomplete pass. The ref said he didn't review it because it came down from the league office that it was a fumble.

I thought it was a pass when the play happened. I was at the game so we did not see the replay until after the extra point. I kept watching and waiting for the ref to blow the whistle to review it but then when they kicked the extra point I was shocked.

When they did show the replay my only thought of why ruled a fumble it appeared that Star grabbed Palmer's arm so while the intent may be a pass it was inconclusive that maybe the official wasn't sure if it was a pass or Star caused the fumble and went with play called on field. That's the only possible explanation I could think of.

Referee performance seems to really be heading downhill in a hurry. If I was the NFL, I would look to find a way to be proactive instead of reactive. But that would require the NFL admitting that their refs were wrong, and we all know that will happen...

Best way to solve this issue is to have full time, instead of part time, refs.  They mess up too much and they're gone if they that is their primary job.

they called the same thing on the texans and brock last week. Maybe its just a rule change we don't know about yet?

It's a corrected re-interpretation of a rule to accommodate Rivera's & other coaches' complaint last off season about QB's "incomplete pass" to receivers blocking & not even looking for it to avoid sacks & an intentional grounding penalty. Call it the 'Russell Wilson phenomena'.

Quote

In the NFL Rule Book, intentional grounding occurs when "a passer, facing an imminent loss of yardage because of pressure from the defense, throws a forward pass without a realistic chance of completion."Sep 28, 2014

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      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.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
