Why Does the League, and Seemingly the World Hate Us?

I hate to play the victim, but it really can't be overlooked anymore.  Why Does the NFL always shaft us in the biggest spots?  Why don't we ever get questionable calls in our favor when it matters most, instead of them going against us?  2013 playoffs against the Niners, SB50, and yesterday...  all had egregious errors in officiating that essentially took the game out of our hands.  Throw in all of 2016's head hunting on Cam and the continued blind eye the officials turn to any excessive hit on Cam despite numerous players and teams openly stating their plan to stop him is to rough him up and injure him.

As if all of that isn't insulting enough, I get a notification on my phone today from Google Newsstand notifying me of Panthers news and the headline I see from a national news publication is, "Panthers should face steep penalty for handling of concussion protocol."  It's from the New York Daily News, and I'm not linking it because I don't want to give them traffic.

Are you fuging serious?  

Did the idiot that wrote that article even watch the game?  How about we talk about the hit that put Cam in that position.  Let that had been a "traditional" QB taking that hit and that's an automatic 15 yard penalty for unnecessary roughness.  But, aside from that, Cam never appeared unconscious or out of his faculties.  Meanwhile, I've watched countless NFL games where players took equally hard and blatantly illegal hits and they weren't given a second thought- the Iloka on Antonio Brown hit earlier this season comes to mind.  No one demanded AB be taken out of the game.  No one demanded the Steelers be punished for not giving him more medical attention.  But, when it is us, we must be punished.  

It feels like fake concern.  I don't think the outcry is over Cam's well-being and safety, it is more like they know he is our only hope of winning and they want to stomp that out and extinguish any possible hope we have left.  They want less opportunities for him to be seen.  They want him sidelined so they don't have to watch him smile or dance.  OR WIN.  How dare we try to win?  How dare we do what every other team in the league does with its best players?  And again, if the concern is real, where is the outcry for protecting him from these hits to begin with, especially when he is still in the pocket.  Where is the national outrage at trash ass cam (lower-case "c") jordan (lower-case "j") publicly gloating over the injury, making light of an injury, and admitting they were hoping to knock Cam out of the game?  Where are the player safety advocates' outrage on that?  Why aren't they demanding jordan to be disciplined?  Because that's not what they want.  They want Cam off the field and us out of sight.

Cam's health is my first priority, but again, he did not appear to be woozy or demonstrate any signs of a concussion other than being slow to get up initially.  I'm just so sick of this fake concern when their end game is really getting Cam off the field or getting us punished because of their dislike for him and our team...  not genuine concern for Cam.  So, it wasn't enough that the NFL robbed us of a fair chance to win the game with a bogus call, but then national media has to pile on and grab their pitchforks in demand of us being punished on top of having a game being stolen from us?  fug that.

fug the NFL.  And fug national media.  I sincerely hope we get a cut-throat owner in here who will take that fuging shitty ass shield off of our field and will talk that poo when need be, LIKE RIGHT NOW.  An owner that won't put the league over our team, or feels like he owes the league a favor.  An owner that doesn't feel indebted to those punk ass suits who have stolen multiple seasons from us now.  An owner that believes in an eye for an eye and standing up for your teammate, no matter the cost because he knows the league will continue to let opponents head hunt our franchise QB.  An owner that won't go quietly into the night when his team is done wrong. /rant

Because you’re a glass half empty kind of guy?   

So, you think we've been treated fairly and equally?  Cam gets treated fairly and equally compared to every other QB in the league?  You think officials and the public genuinely care about his well-being and health?  You think the league and their officials treat him like a future hall of famer and former MVP?

I'm fairly certain this isn't about perception.  The league shits on us constantly.

This loss sucks but ultimately it was the teams fault. You can’t settle for FGs in the playoffs.

We need to get better at theskills positions  on both sides of the field.

Offense: RB, TE, C, WR

Defense: FS, SS, DE 

So,  you're happy at corner?  Do tell!

      You bring up a good point on the stability part and i would agree that probably will factor into it. But yes, Tepper does have a strong influence on who stays/goes but I still believe ultimately it'is Morgan, Tilis and Canales who will decide.

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!
