The 2 games have a lot of similarities. One team getting the brunt of favorable calls but at the same time, their defense just completely manhandling the opposing team to the point it's not clear if it would've mattered. Panthers game would've been a lot more competitive than this at least.

Yeah, if their defenses could abuse Tom Brady like they abused Cam and Mahommes the game would be fair but you can't and they KNOW they can. Cam and Patrick were the bumps in the road, the sacrificial lambs at they Manning, Brady feast.

Brady again, got help in crucial situations and Tampa's defense was allowed to tee off while sht talking Brady gets you a flag and 15. AND the Panthers have NO Superbowl ring.

Of course it was a biased game for Manning’s retirement trophy.

Cam headhunted multiple times. The Cotchery catch. Denver offsides on both of our missed field goals. The league had it out for Cam and these old school refs looked the other way to let him get punished.

This is the NFL. The best of the best. You can’t take a team out of the game at the most crucial moments and expect them to outplay the consequences. It was one of the most one sided games in NFL history.

It really did feel this way in the 1st half. KC isn't a team that gets shook being behind. They know they can comeback. They were frustrated because they weren't being allowed to compete.

Yup.  And although we were getting similarly disadvantaged in SB50, a lot of these early calls actually reminded me of how the NFL jobbed us in the playoffs back in 2013 against the Niners, because the calls aimed at completely taking away our physicality so the Niners could have their way with us.  I think there was a bad personal foul call on Mitchell early, some ticky-tack def holding calls, and then I remember one of the Niners took a cheap shot and one of our guys went to confront them and Boldin instigated the whole thing and they didn't throw a flag until our guy retaliated...  from that point on, we played passive.  That's what happened last night.  As you said, it's not just taking away one team's ability to be physical, it's taking away their ability to compete altogether in a very physical sport.  And coaches can yell all day, "keep playing, we can't control the refs" but when the penalties are 9 to 1 against you and of the nature they were last night, meanwhile Brady's taunting Mathieu and Mathieu's gets flagged, they're getting 2nd and 3rd chances to score off of penalties, and on defense they aren't just holding but completely piggyback riding your receivers before the ball even gets there, it gets pretty demoralizing...  as a player, there's no way you feel you can play with the same intensity, because you know you're going to get called for it and your effort won't matter.  It really is pathetic.

I said this elsewhere, but it is worth saying again.  Under Goodell, the NFL has moved away from sports and into sports entertainment.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
