I believe there are games in which the refs are told to make/not make calls in favor of certain teams in certain games.

 

Whatever money they stand to make or not make by rigging games against the Panthers is dwarfed by what would happen when that came out. NFL's credibility would be ruined and they would face innumerable lawsuits.

 

Refs make terrible calls and maybe sometimes they do it on purpose based on their own motivations. They're humans, and if I were a ref I sure as hell would call a biased game. But to think they're acting on league orders is silly.

I am sitting here watching this game and feel like I am watching two competely different sets of analyses. Cam Newton, touches the ball, these guys go into their Analysis and critiquing mode with their endless critiquing of his throws, footwork, and body language. When Colin touches the ball...NOTHING.

 

I see those in the media are still treating Cam as if he has to prove that he belongs in the NFL. Hmmmm

It will never get leaked because the calls help the teams the NFL likes in which makes them more money.

      Robert Hunt update

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      If we do this(bring him back soon), it better be with the intent to jettison Hunt when he re-injures this. Otherwise, it will be insanely foolish from a short term and long term perspective.

      We have a Dave Canales Problem

      I go back and forth on Canales. If he gets this team to the playoffs though, I'll be a believer.

      Bryce might be the most frustrating player we've ever had.

      The determination used for Spotrac and OTC are not clear to me. It does seem to heavily be weighted on playing time/starting but as we know that isn't always a determination of market value. BC I don't know if he will return to us. It depends on his recovery. That was a really bad injury to have for a guy that will be very close to the end of his career. I hope he recovers completely and we get 2-3 more years of excellent backup play from him. He has been quietly one of our most valuable lineman in a long time, despite being a backup. I am find keeping Corbett at the correct cost and as a backup. He has no business starting at Center anymore. Not to mention he can literally never stay healthy. I agree on EDGE and QB. Two biggest issues by a wide margin(amongst the PILE of other issues). We have a couple of young guys that look to be capable role player replacements for Jones/Wonnum, but it is time to shoot for the moon and get actual upper tier pass rushers into Carolina again.   Final note, when I am pooh-poohing these reserves that you are falling in love with, it's nothing special I am doing. A bit of "eye test" with a healthy dose of realizing that most backups are backups for a reason. Especially when they have gone through multiple free agent cycles and the league has resoundingly said, "Nah." Not everyone is Freddie Luvu. Most are Christian Rozeboom's.
