The roughing call...


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Yeah, watched it again on your link. Still one of the single worst calls I've ever seen. I'm not sure what it is the officials want defensive players to do in order to tackle or sack a qb properly. The absurdity of the standard expected is out of hand, and I'm a guy who's all in favor of making football safer and understands that qb's are the stars that an entertainment business has to market, but c'mon, this is absurd, and I'm not just talking about this play either.

Boger called a phantom offsides at the end of the game to try and make up for it 

If it's the one I'm thinking of, Van Roten flinched and drew him off.

I've been pondering whether or not that might have been deliberate. Don't think so, but it's possible.

McCoy gets revenge after phantom roughing call

If you do a quick search, you'll find several other stories like this one. It's definitely gotten noticed.

Wouldn't surprise me if it became the topic of a fair amount of sports talk conversation this week, and not just in Charlotte.

I want to know why it wasn’t intentional grounding?

We didn't get called for grounding on a play where we probably should have as well.

Stuff like that is why I don't take the "it was rigged" conversation seriously. It's not rigged. Some referees are just terrible.

Boger is most definitely one of them.

The whole not driving them into the ground or using all of your weight rule is pussy ass bullchit.

You should be able to stick them in the torso and crush them.

You and I don't see eye to eye on how much violence should be allowed or expected in football, but we're in agreement on this albeit with different reasoning. I'm not in favor of players crushing each other, but even if the goal is making things safer, that has to be done with some level of realistic expectations. At this point pass rushers are just taking their chances on being called for a penalty if they make contact with the qb no matter what they do. It's an absurd standard.

Except this crap always happens with the league’s darling teams like the Packers, Pats, Cowboys. It’s a trend with refs favoring them, not just your usual refs sucking.

Yeah as mad as I am, I don't much subscribe to rigged theories, just hate horrible officiating.

Rules that require a player to basically defy gravity in order to keep from getting penalized are kind of ridiculous.

I've seen us benefit from bad calls too.

Ultimately, we just really need better officiating.

However, with the league just recently extending their CBA with the officials union, I'm not exactly holding my breath.

Yeah, ball was yards short of the LOS and the closest Packer; obviously thrown in the dirt to avoid the sack+safety.  But anyways the answer is Boger is a terrible referee.  Only way people can ever defend him is that he makes equally appalling calls against both teams (i.e. he is bad at his job)

    • He’s been every bit as much of the problem as anyone else. You cant remove him from that fact, he is just as much part of the team and in THE most important position on the field. But this is the first season he’s seen any kind of continuity in his team and coaches. And he’s shown flashes here and there. But we do need more out of him going forward a lot more if we are going to be successful 
    • Bryce isn’t great and super mid. But I think can be a game manager. What do we think is out there? Daniel Jones isn’t going anywher. Mac Jones? Zach Wilson? Pickett. I’m just not sure what’s out there that is much better without having to give up a ton of capital. Rather take one more step closer to contention with our early rounders next year with FS and LB help. Make this  place where dang they got a defense and a WR1 and solid RB room. I can win with that and want to be here 
    • AR15 is if Justin Fields was fragile and his teammates hated him. No thanks. Ya'll think you hate watching Bryce Young? Wait until your QB can't even complete a 7 yard pass over the middle, which Fields and Richardson can't do. If the draft class was better, I could absolutely see the Titans moving on from Ward already if they got the #1 pick. But so far the college QB's haven't impressed enough. They'll have flashes, but then follow it up with a very meh game. Kyler is already done in Arizona, but he has a ridiculous contract and he's basically Bryce that likes to scramble, so no thanks. If Lawrence can't produce with that team in Jacksonville, what do you think he'll do here? He's tall Bryce who can throw deep but can't make the 4th down throws and crumbles in the red zone. No thanks. I do think Canales wants to move on from Bryce, his body language says so even in wins. He treated Bryce pretty odd this week and Bryce looked checked out in the Packers game. But unless they make another risky trade, its going to be slim pickings. Basically our hopes lie in hitting early in the draft with a Mateer, Nussmeier, Beck type or finding a random backup free agent that has another gear to hit.  I think even with the draft being wishy washy, 4-5 QB's will be taken in the top 7. A lot of teams are just that desperate.
