Blown calls in Panthers-Niners game another exmpl why challenges should be allowed for penalty calls & non calls. Keep same # of challenges.

 

 

 

Brit Hume is a political commentator, born and raised in Washington D.C.  So my assumption is he's a Redskins fan.

 

(P.S. Please, for those who know what network this guy works/worked for and want to bring politics into this thread... DON'T.  It's not about politics.  Its about the officiating.  This is just an example of an "outsider" who NOTICED, his politics be damned or not.)

Yeah the officiating was pretty bad, but it's been that way all season in almost every game.  The NFL just needs to overhaul its officating procedures and start from scratch.

 

No, today was pretty blatant with the bad officiating. It felt like the refs were in favor of the 49ers throughout the game.

32 teams in the NFL played 16 regular season games. Virtually every one of those games had instances of bad officiating. Officiating has progressively gotten worse over the past couple years and until the NFL makes the officials a full-time, NFL paid employee instead of a part-time gig I'm afraid it won't get any better. But even full-time refs won't make all the difference.

I wouldn't even be against reviewable penalty calls or having any flag challengeable. It may slow down the game but you can't have refs playing this big of a hand in the outcomes of these games.

These guys bust there asses all year, the refs should play not part in a season ending loss.

All officiating in all sports is becoming worse and worse. For the baseball fans on this board you don't need to think to far back. Joe Nathan threw a called strike 3 to end a game last year that was a foot off the plate and in the dirt. Even Nathan was stunned when the ump called it a strike

Yeah, I'm a niners fan and I thought there were a couple of bad flags. The after the play on mitchell wasn't much of anything. But we had the roughing the passer in second half that wasn't a penalty, but they called it

 

So you're guy rocking Cam's head back with his helmet isn't a penalty?

 

Okkkkkkkkkkk...

 

Why?  Because he's Cam and he deserves it?  You don't think that flag would have been thrown if that had been Peyton Manning taking the same blow to the head?

No, because he was in the pocket about to get hit in the back, and then he turns around to get away from the rush and pretty much collides head to head with skuta. What the hell is he supposed to do? I would say Cam was a runner after he decided to spin around and try to get out of the pocket.

I've said this all season... Bad officiating all around.

We benefited from a bad roughing call today too, but the first half officiating was as bad as I've seen.

Everyone noticed and only homerish 49er fans don't want to accept that they had help.

Would we have won the game? Don't know, but it sucks to not get a fair shake.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
