The luckiest win in Panthers history?

[hepcat]

#1) Austin Sefarian-Jenkins drops a wide open TD pass in the 1st quarter.

#2) Jonathan Stewart near fumble in the 1st quarter miraculously recovered by the Panthers

#3) Austin Sefarian-Jenkins TD inexplicably called back in the 4th quarter (is this guy cursed or what?)

#4) Offsides penalty on the Jets on 4th down to gift the Panthers a first down in the 4th quarter

#5) Roughing the passer called on 3rd down late in the 4th quarter

#6) Countless near-blocked punts

I can't think of a game where the ball bounced the Panthers way more often. If you older Panthers fans can show me another example, I'd like to hear it. As far as I see it, this has to be one of the luckiest wins in team history. It's better to be lucky than good, every time.

I mean this makes two games an opposing team has dropped a wide open TD that would have probably ended up losing the game for the Panthers should it have gone the other way. I don't know what voodoo football magic goes on in the netherworld but the Panthers seem to be on the winning side of these things this season. Last year, everything would have gone against them. Next season, I bet it turns around again. This is not a good team this year. This is a lucky team. I'm not complaining, it's just fascinating.

That second ASJ catch was a TD...I mean yea it moved but barely

Yup we were gift wrapped this game.    To be fair, it hardly happens like that for us, but this time, it definitely happened.

Naw. Jets just continue to implode with penalties.

On that play....his second foot didn't hit inbounds before his shoulder hit out of bounds.

I've noticed we seem to get a lot luckier whenever we play against bad trams.

Hip is the same as 2 feet.

The ball moved while he was going to the ground.  while he was out of bounds.

I watched it several times slow motion.  At one time while he was out of bounds neither hand had control of the ball.  If it was just one.. yeah but both hands didn't have control.

It's about fuggin time some questionable calls go our way. We've been on the short end of that equation for a long time. It may have been ugly and pure dumb luck, but I'll take the W.

Honestly it was like the twilight zone.  Balls don't usually bounce our way like that.  Pause. 

I'd be lying if I said it wasn't pleasurable to see the pendulum swing our way for once but we were lucky to make it out of that one, especially with the ASJ reversal and the mind bogglingly dumb RTP penalty.

Some folks just like bitching and refuse to enjoy a win.
