The Referees are the Reason we are Here

[RumHam]

That falcons game, the one that really kept us from the playoffs. The bullshit call on DJ. If we win that game, most likely we make playoffs, wilks is still here and we are stick with darnold. We would have picked near 20 and no way to move up. DJ still here. Keeping a coach/manager certainly hasnt worked out for the Phillies this far. So thank the refs.

In part yep, i dont feel they would still won enough.

 

SIde note - few weeks back I tired to bummed one of those " Keep Wilks threads, hes a winner rah rah" 

Within 7 seconds it was locked and then removed from the front page.

Been great for the forum LOLLOlollolls, loads of fun, but i guess whoever did it thought having 95 stroud/youngs was better. 

@Ricky Spanish can you help?

That's one of the reasons we are here. The main reason is because we retained Rhule for the first 1/3rd of the season. Had we kept him the full season, we would probably have that first pick without the trade.

There's no guarantee Tepper would keep Wilks just for making the playoffs. I still think a win or two would be necessary.

However you want to spin it, I'm ready and excited for what's next.

I think you are right about tepper not keeping wilks even if he made the playoffs. 

I also think when they interviewed wilks and asked " who do you have in mind for OC"

wilks- "frank reich....."

"Anyone else?"

"hmmm keep mccado......mike shula?"

Then they interviewed frank and he was like " i havnt not talked with steve and here are my 8 choices for OC"

Im also on the hype train for this coaching staff, best in history and now they got to prove it.

The ineptitude giveth and the ineptitude taketh away.

If we didn't fire Matt Rhule we could have had the #1 without trading anything

[TLGPanthersFan]

Refs saved us from a mediocre coach and a blow out loss to the Cowboys.  
Only time I actually like the refs.

Had we not hired Rhule at all we’d have Herbert. Had we promoted Beane and McD instead of clung on for dear life like idiots to Rivera and Hurney we’d be the Bills. Had JR not sexually assaulted people on a weekly basis and buy his way out of prison we will still have our 1 out of 3 winning seasons. Had Tepper hired help and not treated the franchise like a toy wanting a pat on the back for figuring out what people already knew, we wouldn’t be in the middle of not only this franchise’s worst stretch but top NFL losers for the past five years…I could go on and on.

One catastrophic decision after another is why we only have a few teams we are thankful we are not. But as we say…keep pounding. I mean, it is what it is.

Whats your guy’s point?

[TF330]

I mean, our kicker missed two game winning kicks.

 

if you're thanking people for losing he should be first on the list

We are here because we did not score more points than the other team.

[WUnderhill]

Don’t stop there. If refs treat Cam Newton like most other QBs in the league, the Panthers start a dynasty in 2015.

[pantherj]

I still don't understand why Hurney didn't trade up for Herbert. He wanted Herbert from what I remember, so why not move up a few spots to insure you land him?

The Panthers have a long history of getting jobbed by the refs, and the DJ bs call I'm sure was sent in to the league and added to our pile of busted bs calls.

I've been saying we were going to take a QB in the first round of the 2023 draft since we first brought in Darnold, and now it's happening. Thank you refs.

Reports were that Hurney wanted to trade up for Herbert, but Matt Rhule didn’t. I think the first couple drafts Matt Rhule had pretty much all the power. I have a feeling some of that power was reduced last draft based on how he treated Corral.
