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

We need to take the University of Texas approach (at least at home) and just start chucking beer bottles at the refs until they get scared of getting hit by them and start calling plays fairly for us.

But yeah, unless you are a big market franchise or have a stud QB, expect to get shafted on calls from the refs (especially during crunch time)

I think it comes down to one main issue 

The NFL doesn't want to market a small market teams sucess, which will sell more merchandise, Denver with Peyton Manning, or the Carolina Panthers 

We are not respected in any sport except college basketball , even the national media discredits the Canes cup win because the Oils starting goalie got injured in game 1, even though he was injured by his own player driving a Cane into him trying to draw an interference call 

Comes with the territory, if you are a Carolina fan, the whole world is really against you, you are not really part of the club

If you watch enough you see the less obvious ways the refs can call games to engineer outcomes. Throwing flags, or maybe more importantly, not throwing them. Picking up flags. Not blowing whistles. Blowing whistles. Play clocks even. When to start the clock. Stop it. Lag a little here, anticipate a little there, it adds up benefitting one side hurting the other. 

 

(I think the Panthers are the perfect team for the Chiefs to have a fluke loss against, as far as it goes. If we beat them maybe look closer.)

Refs have been cheating Carolina ever since the Dallas game in 05 when Peppers blocked the field goal and was penalized for roughing the kicker. 
 

Only got worse when Cam, an unabashedly black and cocky QB dominated the league and the old crusty ass guard of the NFL couldn’t stand that so they had to throw Manning a retirement party for SB50. 
 

I suspect it will only really improve when we sign a big time vet with a nice story the NFL can go along with. Or Bryce Young gets better and his good guy narrative becomes plot armor for the NFL to make him the next Brees.

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.

 

I think Cam Newton received unique bias from the moment he declared for the NFL draft.  He just happened to play for us.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
