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

I can't believe people truly believe these things.

I coached high school basketball for almost 30 years, and the number of fans who thought the refs were biased towards certain teams always made me laugh. Referees are human, and some of them aren't very good at their jobs, and an individual official might be more apt to call a certain style of play a certain way.... but goodness people. To think there's this mass conspiracy against your team is just silly.

That's what happened for the Saints no?

100% that happened to the saints that was a very odd season seems the nfl always gets very convenient nfl story lines.  The chiefs have always been good but since taylor swift has arrived they seem to get every single call.

So your theory is that the NFL is fixing games and risking a literal license to print BILLIONS every year if anybody found out because Taylor Swift?

This argument doesn't hold up.

2024: 2nd least penalized.

2023: 14th

2022: 7th

2021: 24th

2020: 29th

2019: 15th

2018: 32nd

2017: 27th

2016: 18th

2015: 12th

 

There isn't a real pattern here. They were a top 10 least penalized team in 2022, as well. Long before the Swift nonsense.

Also, the fuging idiots who watch because of Taylor Swift don't know or care at all about the game being played.

I think least vs most penalized doesnt work.  More attention needs to be paid to when the penalties are called and if they effected the outcome of the game.  One call can decide most nfl games if you extend a drive or kill a drive.  I remember watching a panthers game a few years back the other team was penalized way more than the panthers but all the penalties happened at times that basically made no difference, but then the panthers lost on a bad pass interference call at the end that decided the outcome but just looking at penalties it seemed opposite than what really happened during the game.  Everything goes back to money and rich people always want more.  In baseball, soccer, and basketball refs have been bought and paid for to change the points spread for gamblers.  It would be naive to think the same has not happened in the nfl to some level.  Maybe its just coincidence that certain things happen.... but there is always the famous quote no such thing as coincidence...

I think you are really trying too hard to make a narrative that makes very little sense. Did the refs block a GW FG?

Or, IDK, it could be that is a great football team filled with great players and also great coaches?

They can 100% influence gamesand it's perfectly legal. They are an entertainment industry no different than WWE. There's only so far they can go due to the players themselves, but refs can absolutely kill drives, make timely bad calls, etc. As long as they don't cost Vegas to lose too much, or make it to obvious no one will say a thing.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
