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.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
