Stop blaming the refs, we played like poo

[OriginalPantherDan]

The refs played a huge part in this, make no mistake. The incomplete pass that was clearly a catch changed the whole game. The WHOLE game. It set the tone. And that shouldn't happen. Should we have overcome it? Sure. But it's tough when you have that kind of turnaround. I'd love to see what it would've been like without that gift TD. fug.

NFL old white establishment won the game. Over ruling clear clear cut catch calls. And not even  throwing Unnecessary roughness calls against Denver.  This game was rig from the start.  They didnt like the dab, they didnt like the confidence. and they made sure they show Cam in every bad angle possible.

stop looking for a scapegoat.  that strip sack happened because mike remmers isn't a good lineman. 

maybe it happens, maybe it doesn't. but it wouldn't have occurred so close to our goal line and we could have stopped them from getting in. plus, Stewart gets rolled up and injured.

If you think that the play of our offense was acceptable, regardless of the refs,  then you are delusional. 

Oh, and Denver's defense gets credit also.

Carolina still had a chance to win this game well into the 4th quarter had the offense been somewhat productive and able to hold onto the ball.

If you don't think the refs had any effect on the game, you're fuging delusional. The game changed on the Cotchery no-catch. Denver was allowed to play balls to the wall after that. 

Denver has 0 2nd half penalties, we have 8. Two of those were for 30 yards and one of those was enough to give Denver a first down and a touchdown. 

This is all true, but is anyone really surprised?  The nfl is all about the story. The story is Peyton sailing off into the sunset with a 2nd ring and 200 wins. 

Call a seahawk fan and ask them about the Pittsburgh Super Bowl. Call a Vikings fan and ask them about the championship game against the saints.  It's not hard to see what this is. It is entertainment and a story.

we played like garbage and Denver was the better team but we weren't winning that game. That was never more evident than on the crotchety catch.

On the TD Miller hits Cam in the Face and Mask before punching the ball out. No  Hands to the Face call of course.

Panthers played poorly on offense, but refs screwed us on the Cotchery catch, which led to Denver seven points. Not calling Talib offsides on the missed field goal, no pass interference for Ginn instead of first down settle for field goal.  Those three plays called correctly and it different game.  O-line still horrible, among other mistakes,  but refs were factor.

Cotchery cost us 14 points today.  Refs had nothing to do with that.

Without the refs, this game would have been a 10-10 game going into the 4th.

I mean really? I get the false starts, but look at the amount of flags on us vs them

more importantly the NO CALLS on them...added with this...same BS we face every week...Goodell get control of your refs to call a fair game...

[OneBadCat]

What pisses me off was that this was not a clean loss. The better team didn't win this game and a lot of bullshit calls ruined the game experience. 

 

The officials are seriously arrogant and biased mother fugers. The only reason that wasn't a catch in the first quarter was because the ref didn't want to be wrong. Complete ignorant bullsht. You're telling me the NFL is going to let things like this happen in the biggest game of the year? It's honestly just piss poor pathetic management by the NFL to call a fair game on the biggest stage in sports. It's seriously fuging sad.
