That’s that bullshit.

[Cpt slay a ho]

You know I let this bs slide knowing damn well it was bs, but that pass interference is unforgivable 

[Mr. Scot]

Gotta admit they gave us one back though. That re-spot is one of the damnedest things I've ever seen.

All in all, I think if you wanted to write a summary of tonight's game, the title of this thread would probably be enough.

[ellis]

Welp.

It’s how I felt for most of the game. Not much else you can say at this point. It is what it is.

[ellis]

The process by which the NFL administers these challenges and reviews is absurd. The college game seems to do this with such efficiency. This billion dollar enterprise looks clumsier each week. 

[Mr. Scot]

Speaking of "welp"...

Remember when Ron Rivera told us how they were going to look for ways to lighten Christian McCaffrey's workload this year?

Those were good times 

I mean maybe they're just still looking. I don't know.

[ellis]

I’ll have plenty on that tomorrow. This idea that they can keep utilizing McCaffrey exclusively is ridiculous. Newton accounted for over 100 rushes last year, that’s what eased the workload for 22. That’s not a knock on Christian. It’s the new reality of the offense.

There was nothing wrong with having a CJ Anderson (or a power back vet) giving the team 7 to 10 carries a game. 

Norv can be very peculiar times. Make no mistake, he has a lot of power in that building.

This. 

 

That re-spot looked like blatantly fixing a game.

That became clear pretty early on. Ron looks at Norv like Luke Skywalker looks at Yoda.

Have said it several times already: Bowles devoted his resources to stopping McCaffrey because he believed we didn't have enough outside of him to beat them.

I really wish he would have been wrong.

That was clearly a bad call, makes the NFL look cheap and like they don't have backup cameras

[ImaginaryKev]

Like for the Saints Texans game people were talking about how cool that pilon camera was. They didn't have it in the budget for this game? Damn NFL

At the time of that play Aikman and Buck had specifically said Fox safety protocols were requiring the camera crew to be off the field. Now, if it's that unsafe I don't understand why the game was allowed to take place or why a game was played without standard review angles available, but that's a different conversation.

Either way though it looked pretty clear to me that Cam got it.

Terrible spot. But Panthers DESERVED to lose this game because they did nothing with repeated possessions. I don't feel like this was a turning point so much as a poor piece of officiating.
