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 think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
