Refs Allow Kicker to be Hit During Non-Play

And the NFL wonders why their ratings are dropping lol.  See, the issue is, whether they're allowing other teams to intentionally attempt to injure our QB or they're genuinely trying to do their job, they are terrible at it.

I like Sherman...  he has spoke up for Cam in the past, and in general, I think he's a standup guy, so i dont think he was intentionally trying to injure the kicker...  that being said, it was still a penalty and should've been called.

Coleman's explanation of why he didnt call it also shows the EGO and arrogance that these refs operate with.  He feels he can interpret and invent the rules as he sees fit, much like they have a different version of rules for Cam versus the set of rules they officiate with for every other QB.  I legitimately hate these inept idiots.

Great points.

I constantly hear about how having "full-time refs" is the magical elixir that will fix everything.  My response to that is if referees feel that they "can interpret and invent rules as [they] see fit", then what in the world will full-time refs fix outside of paying them more?  

Because I couldn't agree more... the refs are NOT impartial and they do NOT officiate according to the rules written in the book, but instead officiate by the rules in their own heads.

The NFL is rigged. I hope the ratings keep plummeting. Haven't watched a single full game this year other than the Panthers.

I cancelled my Sunday Ticket for the first time in over a decade this year.

So, being in Atlanta, the last two weeks I haven't even been able to watch the Panthers.

I'll watch the Panthers games that I can.  The rest of NFL Inc?  They can DIAF.

Between the non-call and the refs standing over the ball, that game was definitely played by the officials. 

I also don't think Sherman intentionally went for the kickers knees. I think that was totally unintentional. I don't think he's a dirty player at all, however like with the Campbell situation and Cam, a penalty is a penalty. That was an easy roughing the kicker with should've given buffalo first and goal. 

The answer isnt in review/replay booths and full time refs, it's in the training.

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
