I'm not one to criticize officiating because this is generally an eye roll when a team blames officiating for a loss.  However, that roughing the passer call on McCoy was the difference in this game.  In a game that you knew was going to be tight, that was huge and led to 7 points.

 

Uh, actually it didn't.  McCoy made a stop for us to end the half.  So it didn't actually lead to points, however, the non call of grounding on the same play cost us two points for sure . . . and maybe more.  With or without the grounding call, we should have gotten the ball back with all our timeouts, a short field and plenty of time to score.  Instead GB drives the field, eats all the clock and neither team gets points.

OL was horrible against a very suspect Green Bay run defense.

Luke looks as lost and confused as I've ever seen him. Consistently picking the wrong gaps and getting blocked by O-linemen getting to the second level.

Run defense continues to get shredded.

Cockrell is garbage and when is the last time Eric Reid actually used his arms to wrap and tackle someone instead of just putting a shoulder on them?

Dunno about the rest of you, but any enthusiasm I felt during the game was gone as soon as the RTP call happened. Sure, Joe Buck and Aikman claimed it was a "moot point" because the Panthers stopped Green Bay at the goal line before half, but nobody mentions the fact Green Bay got all that clock time. It was a horrible missed call and directly effected the outcome of the game, as did the "illegal formation" on the missed Crosby FG and the facemask on Allen. The refs are going to call someone lined up 6" off a shoulder but miss Allen's head getting snapped around? C'mon.

Those refs are going to get a horrible grade today. 

They might get a horrible grade publicly, but behind the scenes from the league it will be all:

what to do at Center.  We're halfway through the season.       And Paradis has been trash.  The signing looks as bad as some of Gettleman's bad ones.  We are stuck with him the next few years, so do we Matt Kalil him and bring in someone else reguardless.  Benching him if he can't beat the new guy out despite the big contract?

 

This doesn't solve the center problem, but would Paradis make a decent guard so at least we got some use out of his contract money ?

Thanks for the clarification, I for some reason thought it led to 7 points and I'm clearly mistaken.  This makes me feel better because the bad call kind of worked itself out in a way.

Eric Reid was terrible... again.

You missed the refs. Let’s just discount the roughing the passer call. Boger was waiting to throw the flag the first time Rodgers went down. He could have been blown over by the wind and we would have gotten roughing the passer. 

But the sheer number of obvious missed penalties including a false start by Green Bay and a face mask where both refs in the backfield could see Allen’s head spin. 

Let’s not even get into the holding and the hands to the face that were missed. 

Those refs are going to get a horrible grade today.

Look the refs blew.

Probably the worst of any Panthers game in a while.

But lets not be Saints fans, and just move on and talk about our teams issues and positives
