Scumbag Jeff Fisher says flag shouldn't have been picked up

Count Rams coach Jeff Fisher among the many who believe the Patriots got a raw deal on the last play of Monday night’s loss to the Panthers.

Fisher, a longtime member of the NFL’s competition committee who has a firm understanding of the rule book, says back judge Terrence Miles made the right call when he threw a flag on the Panthers for pass interference. Unfortunately, after the officiating crew talked it over, the wrong call was made, and the flag was picked up.

“I personally feel like the flag went down for a reason, and it looked like a foul to me,” Fisher said at his Tuesday news conference, via Mike Reiss of ESPNBoston.com. “So, that’s my opinion. Because I was not on the sideline, obviously, I can voice my opinion [without getting fined].”

Fisher isn’t a completely neutral observer: He’s still hoping his team can get back into the NFC wild card race, and the Panthers are the leaders in the NFC wild card race. So it’s safe to say he was rooting for the Patriots. But Fisher’s comments are one more demonstration that a whole lot of people who know the rules of the NFL very well are saying that the officials got this one wrong.

The issue here is these people are making this call with the aid of instant replay and slow motion. Something the Refs in game do not have access to for calls like this and these calls cannot be challenged by either team nor the booth. So its easy to say they made the wrong call with this aids at their side.

I think it's funny that the article mentions that someone who knows the rules really well has this opinion when it is clear to me once I read the rules that the officials made the correct call.  Honestly I'm not sure how well any given coach knows the NFL rulebook as far as technicalities like this.

      Panthers 2026 schedule

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      In May of 2026, it looks like a challenging schedule...and it probably is.  I rarely listen to the "strength of schedule" conversations that light up social media this time of year. Each year teams improve and decline. I think there's chunks of the year we need to take care of business and the week 5 bye is not desired.  I do think if we don't hit the bye week at 3-1, it's going to be a major uphill battle given the schedule in front of us. This season falls on three people, regardless of schedule strength: Canales, Bryce, Evero.  Canales: Finally can truly coach all aspects of the team and not focus with gameday prep for OC duties anymore. He drives the bus and needs to get these guys in position to win each week. There's no way vets come in and put it on the line every week to watch our QB sh!t the bed (See: SF game last year). Bryce: Despite everyone's obsession with thinking Bryce is a guaranteed extension, I think this year will truly be his "prove it" year. If he comes out the way he has the past three years, I really don't see how vets and coaches can continue to put him under center long-term. He might play out that fifth year as the starter, but I think next offseason his long-term replacement is found. I also think there's no excuses with the weapons and commitment we've made on offense to insulate him with every possible weapon.  Evero: Best personnel he's had since he's been here...no excuses. Figure out how to blitz effectively. Figure out how to use CBs whose strengths are press/man. Figure out how to utilize a talented front-7 to get the hell of the field. Outside of FS and maybe....maybe ILB, there are few weaknesses on this unit.

      Canales can never get his teams ready in the first week of the season so far. Hope that changes or Ben Johnson is going to take his azz to school.
