Can something be done about this referee bias against the Panthers?

I will start by saying I think the NFL and the referees have been obviously bias against the Panthers since…Super Bowl 50.  Including that game this team has been disrespected by bad calls or horrible non calls consistently.  Is this because we are/were a bad team?  It feels extremely strange to me that against the Raiders the year we were big underdogs and suddenly we cover and get a lot of favorable calls.  If I’m just crazy tell me cuz it is so obvious but maybe I am just seeing ghosts.

The refs are at their worst when we actually matter. Once we're off the radar they usually do a decent job. The 49ers vrs Panthers playoff game nearly drove me insane with how bad the refs were. I swear Ron was screaming at the refs nonstop, and I lost my voice partly. Then things got really bad the following seasons when refs let opposing defenses hit Cam helmet to helmet for a while. Then it became national news and Cam started flailing and flopping to point out when he was getting his brains bashed in. THEN the refs knew the HAD to call it or it would be all over the national news and ESPN. The Panthers have a long and painful history with the refs, and with other teams outright cheating against us (see the Pats/Panthers SB). If we become good again one day the refs will 100% favor the more popular team we're playing. No doubt about it. The easiest way to do it is to call bs holding on the o-line on critical plays in the game. Nick knack holding where you can barely even see the hold for a split second is Panthers special.

Why am I not surprised it's you that starts this thread?

      Legette for Coleman?

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      That is a big HELL NO. As bad as XL was this season, at least he adds a dimension that the coaches can use for specific plays. Coleman is just as bad, yet adds zero diversity to our receiving corps. I’ll take the guy that at least cares enough to show up to meetings. Getting traded to a new team won’t change either of their work ethics.

      I’m just not impressed with these hires/openings

      I don't think there is any real reason to amend the rule. If you do, the teams will just find a way to abuse it. All the Browns have to do is just interview SOMEONE to "get through" the process. Hell, interview Jim Caldwell if that's what the actual goal is, just to get around it.  Also, they have all of the candidates required for the Rooney Rule in Aden Durde and Nate Scheelhaase. They are in full compliance already. Scheelhaase is already scheduled for a second interview, for that matter.

      I don't know about the stans but he's at times been like 60 percent of the offense on a playoff calibre team. He put up 1202 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns, then had effing 102 receptions for 924 yards and seven receiving touchdowns. He touched the ball 413 times this season (an average of 24 times per game.) Then you have to add in that he's a hell of a blocker when called upon. Without him, the injury depleted 49ers in a hot NFCWest division don't make the playoffs at all.  If that isn't the Most Valuable Player on the team then who should be? The idea that it is an award solely for QBs is just narrow. Edit to add: Will he win it? No.
