Genuinely wondering about the fairness of the refs today.

Should have been a penalty. Same with the hit on Robby Anderson. But now we're set with PJ Walker so what's done is done.

 

Neither one of those were penalties. Learn the rules.

 

Runners don't get protected, and Sam was a runner. And Robby got hit with shoulder pads well within the strike zone. Sheesh.

 

Same with DJs TD drop. Some of you expect the Panthers to get every dang call. And go all ham when we don't.

It does not matter how clean the hit is. Clean or not, the rule states you are supposed to give the Receiver a chance to run and the defender did not. It should have been a penalty. Maybe you shouldn't be telling others to learn the rules?

lol This is the second time you've said this. It is not true.

 

And  you sure have a hard time with folks that don't agree with you.

He loses control as the knee hits

In my entire history of watching football, I don't ever recall a similar play with a player going out of bounds and seeming to maintain control of the ball til he gets to the ground being initially rulled incomplete. 

Never. 

Not once.

They always call it a catch and then review it to see if it really was.

After watching the replay, it's even less defensible. Flat out bad call. Tell yourself whatever you want. I watched it multiple times. The initial call was completely inconsistent with all the football officiating I've ever seen, and the replay far from vindicated the officials call.

Am I the only one not up in arms over todays officiating?

 

And LOL at folks actually thinking refs are trying to skew games one way or another.

They usually are bad especially if you watch more games in a week than ours, other teams get poo refs too, I don’t think today for us was horrible though. Granted I wasn’t giving the game 100% of my attention but I didn’t see much besides them missing a call of helmet contact when Sam slide, not the original hit but after he was down and the play was blown another falcon definitely gave him a knee to the head.

Agree with you about Sam and Robby. Those were both perfectly legit hits. Disagree about the TD catch. That call was garbage.

You have to complete the catch. Which means when you go to the ground, you must maintain possession.

 

He did not make a "Football" move after the catch.

    • Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers  
    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
