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.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
