The NFL does owe the Panthers an explanation why the Brissett spike was not intentional grounding.

I don’t understand why you can’t review any call you want?I mean you still have the same amount of challenges  but could change out come of game. In college they can review just about anything but in nfl where people are getting paid millions of dollars you can’t absolutely ridiculous!

I listened to Rhule's Presser, and despite throwing his hands up at the end of the game and being the usual idiot he is acting like he had no way to impact the game until we got to that point, he did say that they didn't give him an explanation on Burns at all.  He said despite the league coming in during camp and explaining and emphasizing the new rules repeatedly regarding that exact circumstance, in which he said Burns clearly did not commit a penalty under those new rules they had explained to them repeatedly, that the refs gave him no explanation for it.  He said they did come back and offer some bullshit explanation on the spike, but he didn't elaborate on it.  He asked our PR guy if he could say what they told him, he was told no, and then said he didn't want to get in trouble but they explained it wasn't a penalty.  Rhulr also said that he actually just had our guys watch film on that exact scenario because he said Cleveland runs out routes on their spike, so they can fake it and throw it.  So it sounds/looks like they were gonna try to fake it and throw it, but Brissett saw it wasn't there which is why he got caught in between, faked it then took a step back and awkwardly got stuck like that before spiking it.  But, it was definitely a penalty by definition.

Regardless, I already expect to get screwed by the refs.  If there's a chance for them to do it, they will.  So to me, it's a waste even talking about it.  If we hadn't played like poo for 75% of the game and had we not fuged up in the redzone with the muffed snap and been able to score a TD, none of this poo even matters.

Never leave it up to the refs.

While I get you should “never leave it up to the refs”, the Panthers really didn’t. Burns made a great play but got penalized. The intentional grounding play appeared like it was a fake and the refs allowed Brissett to get away with it.

They knew what they were doing.

The explanation by the ref after the game shows they decided not to call the foul because they just didn’t want to. The ref literally said he faked the spike. You can’t do that, it’s a foul. The NFL doesn’t care that the refs are making stuff up.

Why do you think there are so many "gray area" penalties? The NFL WANTS refs to call a game in a certain team's favor, which is why they have them implemented in the first place. Also why they hardly (if ever) discipline their refs.

I agree. The NFL has no obligation to be fair. It’s literally the same type of organization as the WWE. It’s an entertainment league with rules they made up. It’s naive to think they don’t let the refs nudge games.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
