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

      Panthers 2026 schedule

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      In May of 2026, it looks like a challenging schedule...and it probably is.  I rarely listen to the "strength of schedule" conversations that light up social media this time of year. Each year teams improve and decline. I think there's chunks of the year we need to take care of business and the week 5 bye is not desired.  I do think if we don't hit the bye week at 3-1, it's going to be a major uphill battle given the schedule in front of us. This season falls on three people, regardless of schedule strength: Canales, Bryce, Evero.  Canales: Finally can truly coach all aspects of the team and not focus with gameday prep for OC duties anymore. He drives the bus and needs to get these guys in position to win each week. There's no way vets come in and put it on the line every week to watch our QB sh!t the bed (See: SF game last year). Bryce: Despite everyone's obsession with thinking Bryce is a guaranteed extension, I think this year will truly be his "prove it" year. If he comes out the way he has the past three years, I really don't see how vets and coaches can continue to put him under center long-term. He might play out that fifth year as the starter, but I think next offseason his long-term replacement is found. I also think there's no excuses with the weapons and commitment we've made on offense to insulate him with every possible weapon.  Evero: Best personnel he's had since he's been here...no excuses. Figure out how to blitz effectively. Figure out how to use CBs whose strengths are press/man. Figure out how to utilize a talented front-7 to get the hell of the field. Outside of FS and maybe....maybe ILB, there are few weaknesses on this unit.

      Canales can never get his teams ready in the first week of the season so far. Hope that changes or Ben Johnson is going to take his azz to school.
