The roughing call...

Boger should be demoted, but he won't be.   That was a huge call. Changed the whole course of the game.

He’s a garbage ref and he’s been a garbage ref for years. Why his crew EVER gets assigned to marquee games like this one is a fuggin mystery.

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

That was making up for the false starts he missed completely.

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 absolutely hate to blame the Zebras but God damn it they didn't make it any easier to win that game. It's not ultimately on them but they get a good percentage of the blame.

Tired of the Prima Donna BS. That was nothing more than a ref bailing out Rodgers.  

Also the missed facemask to KA. You bet your ass Rodgers gets that call.

Finally the blatant Helmet to Helmet where the defender got hurt.  They showed it 100 times a the defender led with his helmet.  Sorry the dude got hurt but the biased refs missed that one too. 

Blinders on for Carolina, microscopes for GB.

It seemed to me, after the helmet to helmet no call and the RTP call on McCoy, that the refs were using last year's rule book instead of this year's. There was also a low hit on Allen that should've been called, when he rolled to his right once. Terrible, terrible reffing. Too bad Deadspin is basically gone (entire staff left, I mean everybody) ... they'd rip the NFL and the refs to shreds.

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.

That PI call against the reciever that Cockrell was covering was god awful as well.  I think it was on the first drive of the 3rd quarter and negated a 3rd down conversion and made the Packers punt.  For this officiating crew I don't think rigged is the right word.  I think just fuggin terrible would be more apt. Both ways, not just for the more popular team.

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

Or why the other 5 times he clearly grounded it wasn't called...

Watching this game was like watching the superbowl all over again. Why are the panthers always on the wrong side of 'call momentum' in games!?!?!

I think because it was actually (directionally) on target to Jarius Wright.  It looked like crap (grounding) from most angles, but they showed an angle from behind the QB that showed the ball was on a line toward 13, but didn't get nearly enough on it.  The referee would have been in the right position to see that.

I mean the roughing the passer call, should have also been intentional grounding.

And in the end, we were just about a foot away from tying up the game. That's how frikkin' important that blown call was (not to mention the missed face mask on Kyle Allen and the overlooked helmet to helmet hit on the kick off return.

Green Bay got away with a lot yesterday, an egregious amount of calls went their way. 

I don't think we lost that one so much as had it taken away.

Karma will sort this back out, but sometimes that wheel turns slowly.

The good news is that we played a 7-1 team on the road in bad weather and almost overcame it all.  We still needed a little help, but that penalty might have really made the difference.  The time it took off the clock and field position were huge.  

[Navy_football]

So many missed and bad calls.

Holding all over the place. 

But the no call on the fullback that pushed Shaq to stop the interception was huge. That was more than likely a pick six to tie the game. Those penalty yards could have made a difference too.

[Harbingers]

It boggles my mind how bad the officiating was yesterday. How do you miss a false start?
