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

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
