Is 12 in the huddle no longer a penalty?

[mc52beast]

I don't know WTH was going on today with the guys having 12 men in the huddle on multiple occasions, but for some reason the refs never thru a flag... I thought i was going to see Peyton's head explode on the sideline.

Who cares? I have watched the Panthers get screwed over and over for years. It's our turn to get some damn calls.

Only penalty if you line up 12

No, it's a penalty if 12 are in the huddle.  The refs were just screwing up today.  I don't feel bad about it because they also gifted the Saints two fumbles (or at the very least, 1.  Stewart's was close enough I won't call foul on it).

Yeah well apparently there is now some top secret illumanati poo going on with the refs according to opposing fans message boards.  I know, crazy right?  Sorry you didn't get the memo.

Officiating was poor overall, both teams caught some big breaks.

Def is a penalty, they didn't call it and we called a timeout.  The play didn't happen so no flag for 12 in the formation which is challengeable(sic?) again no play no foul.  Payton tried to challenge the 12 in the huddle but that is not allowed.

When the ball bounces your way you don't complain.

How in the heck did they rule that "Olsen" catch a fumble? That's been called an incomplete pass in every game I've seen this year.

It was funny to watch Sean Payton go beserk on the sidelines over it not getting called.  I thought that vein in his neck was going to explode.  LOL.

we'll get the short end of the stick too. Can't believe they missed a call that easy, twice.

One of fox retired official said that about the no calls. Idk why but I believe him sorry.

Tough to call 12 in the huddle when you ain't huddling.....

IN my opinion it was done intentionally.
