Refs screwed us

Had it been a penalty, they still could have kicked- there were 13 seconds left. However, they would have had to get lined up and kick in 3 seconds when the ref blew the whistle. A bit more pressure and further away. Prolly would been a Hail Mary.

No there would not be 13 seconds left.  There would be a required clock run off.

it was a horrible call. 

Hey we agree on something.

but players and coaches in the NFL will consistently tell you it's not one bad call that determines any game. 

Of course they do, because they can't control those or do anything about them, unless you're the aints, apparently. 

That doesn't mean they don't decide a game.  And this case, they did.

I mean, I tell me freaking kid the same thing about bad calls in sports.   Bad calls happen.  In every game.  Missed ones.  One call in reality has never decided any game.  All the other plays added up matter more. 

I wouldn't let my kid blame the ref for a loss.  He could bitch about the call though.

We bitch about every fncking thing else here, but we can't bitch about two bad calls that decide a game?

 

no one said you can't bitch about the call lol.  You clearly aren't even reading the posts you quote at this point. 

13-10 = 3.  And I just told you my kid could bitch about the call.  Just not blame the ref for his L.   The right to bitch was literally in the post you are ranting about lol.

Refs screwed Panthers: Browns got away with penalty before game-winner

The Browns' victory over the Panthers was shrouded in controversy after referees botched a late call that would have prevented Cleveland's game-winner.

We aren't even through one full week of NFL action and the referees have already impacted the result of a game.

The Browns and Panthers came together for one of the more intriguing matchups in Week 1 considering Baker Mayfield's connection to the former while quarterbacking the latter.

However, a missed call overshadowed the grudge match, allowing Cleveland to win the game 26-24, taking the lead on a 58-yard field goal with eight seconds remaining.

Before the kick, Browns QB Jacoby Brissett appeared to fake a spike before going through with the motion to stop the clock and set up the kick attempt.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
