Hey guys, I just did some research and remember the line judge who ejected smith against the cowboys back in 2005? It was Mark Steinkerchner.

Would anyone like to hazard a guess as to who the line judge was this week?

You guessed it.

Roughing the kicker call wasn't the refs, that was just a bonehead play by Brown.

The first 7 points however, was all the refs. All they needed was to give them a boost.

Dont forget about great acting by the kicker. Brown didnt even hardly bump him LOL. Still a bone head play you can even be within a 5 mile radius of a Kicker.

I think the Panthers would have lost this game with or without bad calls. That being said, the Anderson PI call, followed by the Captain PI call.... nearly sent me into a wild rage. Neither play was PI, but it's the Pats so they get it. It's bad enough when we suck, but add bad calls (so bad they decide the game) and I'm just sick of football. Thanks refs. Hope you enjoy getting chewed out when your sh!t PI calls get sent in for review. I'm sure Fox will have them qued up by 5am Monday morning.

They won't be chewed out, which is why they occured.

Can't pin the loss totally on the win. Our offense was flat and the playcalling was completely unispired.

However, there were an inordinate number of times where I yelled at the TV in the bar for a b.s. call (First time I have done so since the missed block-in-the-back call against Philly).

I'm not a tin foil hat kind of guy. I usually don't like to blame the refs for a loss, but this WAS the worst officiated game I have seen since Dallas '07. I mean when they showed the stat at the end of the game, 9 penalties to one for New England. I don't care how disciplined a team is, when you see that kind of a disparity, it's fishy, especially given the amount of MISSED calls against New England, like the two roughing the non-Brady's, or the flagrant holding non-call on Randy Moss.

After watching every play of this game, I DO believe that referees give special consideration to the Patriots, especially when they are at risk of missing the playoffs.

I thought my fugging DVR was broke. Pathetic all the way around. We got hosed on some calls for sure, but we didn't do much to help ourselves. I was livid with the way Fox butchered that final drive of the first half. Let's move the ball with some nice passes, but not call a time out. Pats get the ball to start the second half, but we'll kill the clock anyway. I want him gone tomorrow.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
