Even outsiders noted the officiating

And Im pretty sure if cam was down 6 on that last drive we would have scored a TD. We did it all season long except the first 4 weeks.

[SnowPanther]

refs should be fined for poor performances then terminated if it happens again,,,

 

Wishful thinking. Good lucky firing a union worker  :cam:

[PsyopGoat]

Notice what you just said there... "try to get out of the pocket"?

 

Do you even know what words mean?

 

Cam himself is the one who caused the helmet to helmet contact.

[PsyopGoat]

That call was because the refs got a call saying it was looking too obvious

 

And they called it even though Cam himself is the one who caused the helmet to helmet contact.

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

Game was over by then, the damage had been done.  I would never expect a head-butting penalty to be called really ever, or push for them, but after we got flagged for that, I can recall four instances where the favor should have been returned.  The 12 man in huddle was ridiculous as well.  We played like crap second half so it really doesnt matter but the circumstances should have been completely different.

Is it a coincidence that the flags against us declined in the second half when we were already down by multiple scores?

It doesn't matter who "caused it." Learn the rules. You can't hit a quarterback's head in the tackle box, period, end of story. It's a penalty 100% of the time.

[SCPantherFan]

This!

 

Goodell really needs to take a hard look at this.

 

Goodell did take a look at it.  He was at the game making sure the refs called in favor of the 49rs to make sure the dream matchup between the 49rs and Seahawks happened.

So what you're saying is all a QB has to do when he's about to get sacked is to place is own helmet in the path of the defender's helmet? Just bend his knees slighly to create the contact?

Sure, if the penalty is worth a concussion.

[carolinashawn]

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. 

 

your dude led with his helmet. should be a penalty regardless of head to head. Also, I agree that the Boldin one wasn't a big deal but the refs had already set precedence against the panthers earlier.

 

bottom line is this game would have been much closer b/c the penalties let to 13 points and should have been 3. The whole psyche of the game would have been different.

 

In the end though, the Panthers shoot themselves in the foot a couple of times that would have made this argument moot. 

[Guest shitposting]

As far as I'm concerned this is the second time the Panthers have been cheated out of their potential. Though I guess the NFL values HOF bound head coaches and fairytale narratives opposed to sportsmanship and competition.

[brandon_87]

This is a false notion. 

 

Newton, was still behind the line of scrimmage; therefore he was not a runner as  you and others are erroneously suggesting. 

 

You mean you never seen a QB spin, turn, or change direction behind the LOS and complete a pass downfield??

 

Are you suggesting it was incidental? Nonetheless, it was head to head. Come on now. 

 

some people really are just ignorant.  I never once said he was a runner, I know he wasn't, I'm saying the penalty shouldn't have been called, Newton caused it himself... was it a "helmet to helmet" hit..?  yes... was it the kind that should draw a penalty?  no, but we got one.  end of story

[tiger7_88]

Cam himself is the one who caused the helmet to helmet contact.

 

 

Heh... OK. :rolleyes:
