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.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
