That Roman Harper injury timeout....

[Wolfcop]

That is more of the most stupid rules I have ever heard of. It cost us a timeout after a score when the clock stops anyway. I understand if the "injury" occurs during play, but not in that situation.

Freefua is right... This kind of poo is way way worse than being late for a meeting... This directly impacted the ACTUAL GAME.

Harper said he wasn't even aware Carolina had been assessed the mandatory timeout when a player is injured in the final two minutes. He said none of the coaches said anything to him about it, either.

 

 

Disturbing...

Disturbing...

 

I'm starting to really wonder about RR. When he got his extension I briefly wondered if it was too early but I supported him and thought he'd be ok. This kind of stuff, man I gotta wonder about him. He came in as the kick ass disciplinarian, but now seems to either be a wimp or he has his guys that he looks out for. Sad, and fuging sucks for us.

If I recall Seattle also had a player down not long after that inside of two minutes as well. Unless I missed it, I don't remember them getting charged a time out.

 

 

There was zero consistency with that call yesterday.

 

1) On the TD, the clock stops. The next play was an un-timed down. We lose a TO for an injury (Harper), which makes zero sense since it wouldn't affect the flow of the game or the game clock.

 

2) On the ensuing kickoff a Seahawks player gets hurts. Again, the clock stops automatically. However, this time the Seahawks do NOT lose a TO for injury. To me this is the correct interpretation since this injury has little to no bearing on the game clock or the flow of the game.

 

Now none of this mattered for this game, but is easily could have mattered.

 

 

Exactly. I was with others, thinking it was only if the clock was running. Then, Seattle player stays down due to injury and no T.O. taken. So, I guess it's only a blanket rule for a team that is losing?

it was said on page one with the Mike Pereira tweet...

 

@MikePereira: For those asking about panthers charged TO, it was within two minutes.

Always applies - unless there's a change of possession.

there was a change of possession, so the rule no longer applies...

I was screaming at this when it happened. Grandpa Harper has no place on this team.

The defense didn't lose this game.

They really did, have to be able to finish games. Our offense couldn't score all game, but neither could theirs. They allowed the only touchdown of the game, and allowed Seattle to burn the clock while doing it. Ron Rivera is a coach that relies on his defense to win the game and they had the opportunity, just needed one more stop and couldn't get it. Ron Rivera's defensive mindset is a major reason why we go so conservative in the redzone. He's perfectly happy winning a game 2-0. Defense has to get off the field at the end of games.

In today's NFL blaming a defense that allowed 13 points isn't really a valid criticism.

[Jon Snow]

I was about to say that. No way can you blame the defense for this one. The offense completely shat the bed in this game and nothing can convince me otherwise.

Play calling in the redzone cost us the game and nothing else

Uh.... The defense preformed great.

In NO way was it their fault.

Its all on our offense for not getting into the end zone.

Offense includes Shula.

[WOW!!]

What does that have to do with Roman Harper s uckage and now making more mental mistakes then a rookie??

[Mojo]

D played great.  Just because our coach is defensive minded that doesn't absolve the offense from scoring points.

 

The offense has only put up two touchdowns in the past two weeks, and that was in garbage time.

 

Don't put this on the defense.  Holding a team to 13 should be good enough.

One of thier players got hurt on the kickoff or something after that.. they didn't get charged a time out?
