Bolden fined for headbutt

[pantherj]

What a lousy ending to an otherwise great season. The refs screwed us over, but the better team won. What worries me is that we might make the playoffs again next season and have to face a more popular team, and that pretty much guarantees the refs will cheat us again.

How much did the refs get paid?

Thomas was also fined for not making contact.

I'm sorry but I firmly believe he was not going for a punch there. That crap is ridiculous and overblown. The fact his fist missed by about a yard tells me it was directed forwards the ground. It's easier to throw a bow from 12 inches then a fist from 3 feet and then miss by another 3 feet.

fug you NFL.  fug you Goodell.

 

You poo all over us, sit in the fuging building as your refs screw us out of a fair chance to win the game, and then fine him after the fact like some kind of consolation.  Seriously, fug you.  fug you.  fug you.

yeah not to mention a niner threw a punch and made contact earlier.

This I such a slap in the face to us. It's basically the nfl saying yeah this head but was worse and should've resulted in a flag, but we fixed the game so we flagged captain instead even though he barely touched him. Oh and we won't fine him though bc we acknowledge it was a bad call.

....which is why this fanbase needs to make a big stink over the whole thing. if we just lie down and say "meh, on to next season" it will keep happening.

I didn't see one actual headbutt in the whole game..

For the fun of it, gifs of both Captain and Anquan here. Would embed but I'm on mobile.

NFL got what they want. Niners/Seattle and Brady vs Manning. Personally, I don't know how much football I'm going to watch this weekend.

I mean I never have seen a game where the refs were so one sided. Not only was this the worst 1 sided officiated game in Panthers history. Probably the most 1 sided officiated game of the past 20 years or so.

@josephperson: Another fine from #Panthers-#49ers: Turns out SF WR Anquan Boldin was fined $7,875 for head-butting S Mike Mitchell, per league official.

LoL. Person drinking on the job again.

Thats like not getting paid for a practice, tired of these lame refs costing teams momentum and opportunities.

And yet again, no punishment for the refs. Until a system is put into place that forces the refs to do a better job, stuff like this will continue.
