Not that it's the reason we lost, but...

Well when we commit so many penalties, I think the refs have their hands on the yellow flag in anticipation and maybe through it too quickly. The worst call I think was that incidental touching of Hasselback's helmet in the 3rd or 4th, that was just ridiculous.

Yeah, that was another ridiculous call... but the missed blatant holding by more than one guy on that punt return directly resulted in 6 points. I don't know how the refs could have missed that?

I don't know, maybe all refs should have mandatory BAC testing prior to kick off. BTW, that one ref sounded like he was from Gastonia. Do not use him again!

Gave pie because I noticed that blown call right as it happened, as the punt return was right in front of me. That plus the incidental contact called for Hasselbeck really had the crowd fired up against the refs. Boos rained down until we finally made a few good plays and got a call or two to go our way. So much went wrong for us in this game, I guess you could say this is the snowball that started the avalanche.

The booing of the refs was hilarious. Me and my brother kept booing even when they made calls for us. That was a phantom call.

Not that it's the reason we lost, but if Capt. didn't get held badly on that punt return at the beginning of the game, then I don't know what holding is...

Rivera is right about us not getting calls.

Glad I'm not the only one who saw that! I raving mad screaming at the TV. How do you miss a call like that?

As bad as our STs are, no need to help out the other side with bullshit no calls like that.

The hold was questionable, they had him sandwiched. The guy between him and the returner had one hand on the front and on hand on his arm/shoulder.

If you are seeking someone to blame it on, blame it on Jason Baker who kicked the ball right to the sidelines without kicking it out, effectively neutralizing half of our kick coverage team. Or blame Dan Connor, he should be using the sideline like a 12th defender, and not standing almost right on it. He should have slid inside a bit more there, bc if the returner goes outside, then all he really has to do is get a hand on him to push him out. Plus it makes it an easier tackle for the trailing defender, Applewhite i think it was.

      Panthers HC Dave Canales hints at adding more weapons for QB Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner.

      2025 Draft Re-Grades (Or, One Idiot Doubles Down)

      By Raskle · Posted

      How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.

      Who was the better HC - Rivera or McDermott?

      By Basbear · Posted

      I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
