Refs Allow Kicker to be Hit During Non-Play

There needs to be more of a penalty for refs clearly getting things wrong, like getting a grade which would affect a season end bonus for them or something. Idk.

Every call the refs make get reviewed by the NFL, and the refereeing teams are graded. No fines, but refs can be "downgraded", which can result in them not reffing playoff games or other big games. If they are downgraded enough, they can lose their job. Probably not what you're looking for, but that's the current system.

The problem is there are just not enough quality refs out there. The guys that are out there now are the best at what they do. If we wanted start replacing them willy nilly, the refereeing will be even worse (see the replacement refs.) Blame the complexity of the NFL rule-book not the refs, however with that being said, on this particular sequence of play I place the blame squarely at the feet of Walt Anderson.

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.

Not only the non call on the kick but the refs also stood over the ball and let the play clock run all the way down and still called a penalty on the Bills....  Unreal....

I don't understand why the ref that stood there can't override the penalty.

Ill tell u now, if the Colts and Vikings make it to the superbowl like everyone predicted before the season, then the NFL is most definitely rigged. 

Why on earth would that be the rigged Super Bowl?

A few things pissed me off from last night:

1. Obviously, the no roughing the kicker call. Apparently, this means that someone can go off early and blast someone in the legs. Doesn't matter how clear as day the call is because it's a free hit!

2. The delay of game. That has happened to us before and we had to hurry the snap.

3. Taylor getting a roughing the passer call. Even he gets it.

4. Purely from a fantasy perspective but I had Christine Michael last night. All I needed was a fraction of a yard from him to win but nope, Seahawks just had to pass on every single down. Finally got it on one play but nope, offensive penalty wiped it out. Finally got bailed out by his TD run but that whole experience only made me hate the Seahawks even more.

Refs love seattle

Seattle intentionally manipulates ref actions as is...

LOB has made their name off pass inference and illegal contact.  Come out of the gate and do it all game and they know refs simply will start to let it go so a football game can be played...as they have always played the odds of a ref won't feel he can keep throwing the flag.  So Seattle gets the refs to shift what allowable contact is based on there persistence.  

Talented, yes.  But Seattle strategically has influenced refs for years.  Very rarely do refs call Seattle games like they do most other teams

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

      By cranky · Posted

      Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers.

      Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
