I can tell you with absolute certainty that if the Panthers were playing a team as the betting underdog that would have 100% have stood as a catch. I said in the game thread I'd bet my life savings that catch would be overturned because the game was being managed towards a Saints victory. It's not really super fun to watch the NFL anymore because of the managed outcomes. 

You were hollering about the 20-17 finish fairly early lol. A wizard, you are.

They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn. 

How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?

While it says we converted later, it 100% impacted the game. First, the clock stopped on the incompletion and we would have had another 12 yards on tha drive. We didn’t score but the play calls change. Seeing as how we lost on a last second long FG, an extra 12 yards and running the clock down another 17 seconds (or forcing NO to use a timeout) likely means at a minimum we go to OT and at best we score and win the game.

I get it, I don’t think it’s rigged though. I think when you have humans making calls and decisions there will be mistakes because we are flawed. Sometimes it’s in your favor, sometimes not.

Not a wizard it was just a very educated prediction I was confident about. I've done a lot of research on how the NFL manages games with the referees and tendencies certain referee crews have, and sports betting has a lot to do with it. The NFL 100% assigns referee crews to specific games to impact and manage the outcome. The Panthers were a heavy moneyline favorite before and for most of the Saints game. I could see based on the calls that the Panthers were not going to be winning that game. The phantom kickoff return formation penalty and some very questionable holding calls/hands to the face calls that the Panthers were being managed to keep the game close. 

I was hoping to be seeing a Panthers victory on Sunday but it doesn't seem to be happening that way per the ref assignment either. Looks like it'll be a comfortable Bucs win with maybe some late game feverish comeback attempt that falls short. Maybe the NFL cooks up some drama with the Dolphins beating the Bucs and a surprise Panthers win over the Seahawks setting up an improbable last week winner take all game no one saw coming but I think it's better TV viewership to have the Bucs in the playoffs over the garbage Panthers. 

Bucs probably win by 7 but it could be double digits if Bryce turns the ball over.

Maybe in some situations but that call was taken up to the booth and overturned. When it goes to the "booth", they can decide whatever they want and make up the reasons why on the spot and apologize later, or so it seems.

Refs 100% rig the game. Whether it’s bias or incompetence or some combination of both. The outcome is the same. Teams, players, coaches, all get cheated and potentially lose their jobs because of the refs idiot bullshit. The NFL is complicit in this because the refs have no consequences and nothing is fixed mid game. Therefore in that sense the games are rigged. You are not seeing the better team win.

 

Secondly the refs are indignant and don’t like being told then they are wrong and change the way they officiate off that. I don’t give a fug if someone is yelling in your face. You should have the integrity to call the game fair and justly.

Enough is enough. They should be held accountable. They already stole a god damn Super Bowl from us and are about to derail the franchise with last weeks all you can eat cheapshot bullshit. Add insult to injury that it was against the poo infested gutter ball Saints winning off penalties. Priority #1 next season is destroying them in every way imaginable.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By ladypanther · Posted

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.

      He wasn't a JAG, he's been a starter every year of his career. Didn't turn into the superstar it seemed like he might his rookie year, but I think part of that has been being misused. Guy was/is a baller.
