This is an interesting take on the officiating by actual football refs.  They are refs at apparently levels from high school up to college .  One guy/commenter talks about a televised game he worked in as a ref.  The most interesting part is not necessarily the article but the comments section of these refs.  They make some great points.  Most feel the Panthers were at a huge disadvantage and that the game was not called fairly at all.  This is exactly what Panther fans that are not afraid to rock the boat are saying.  Was the fix in?  Who knows.  Either way the officials in our game were a pathetic excuse for NFL officials and an outright embarrassment.  Screw you Roger Goodell.

Probably the same way they picked up the flag on Luke Kuechly in the Panthers/Patriots game two years ago on Monday night.

Oh, the ball was thrown before the foul and intercepted by a different player prior to being anywhere near the offensive player? I didn't see any of that.

3 biggest issues I had in regards to the refs/missed calls/flags:

- #1: Cotchery's no-catch that was clearly a catch. Instead of having the ball at the 40, we are inside our 20. We all know what happened a couple of plays later. 10-0 Broncos and Cam's confidence is further hit.

- #2: Flag on Norman on the last score when it was clearly uncatchable. We hold them to 3 and things are a little more positive, and this score was the back-breaker.

- #3: Roby's clear pass interference at around the 5 yard line. We had to settle for another FG rather than have a first-and-goal.  

Like Smitty said, the combo of Miller/Ware and lack of pass protection for Cam truly cost us this game. Shula's gameplan was horrible and there was no adjustment to the Denver blitz packages. They ran man coverage, often cheated the safeties up in the box to stop the predictable running, and Shula did nothing to counter this. Where were the screen passes, the chip/support for Remmers, the jet sweeps/misdirections to slow down the pass rush?

Not blaming the refs for the loss, but several missed calls shifted momentum, killed drives and kept Denver in this game. 

#1: The ball hit the ground.

#2: It was holding, not PI. Doesn't matter if it was uncatchable.

#3: See Finnegan's DPI that wasn't called.

Point being, the refs didn't screw Carolina. Denver was the better team.

#1: Not even close. It never technically hit the ground, because his hand was underneath the ball the entire time. He had control before going to ground, he maintained control at the time he hit the ground, and the ball moved after he had already turned onto his back. That is what a catch is. If you don't believe it, then please tell exactly when the ground caused the ball to slip or when his hand wasn't under the ball? Or do you deny those points entirely?

#2: Norman was attempting to move past your receiver when contact was made. Contact is loosely being interpreted there, as a hand to the receiver's left arm was very, very light and ticky-tack. I guess he should have just encircled both arms around his waist, because then it wouldn't have been called. Or would it have, since that would have been done by a Panthers DB instead?

#3: Really?? Finnegan had one DPI that was missed? I'm shocked! I truly thought they'd call everything against our guys that game. Must have been slipping by that time. Does that offset the 5 that weren't called against your DBs somehow??

Point being, your guys got a shitload of things go their way so the NFL could have their glory story of how "The Sheriff" rode off into the sunset with his Superbowl ring. Also, you're on a Panthers board after the game crowing that the better team won when every other person out there that isn't either a Denver fan or a Cam-hater saw it as crappy, one-sided officiating.

 

Why are you here, really? You won't convince anyone here that it wasn't a bullshit set up, and that we didn't get screwed over. So, why do you bother? Do you truly have that insignificant of a life?

Take it easy on him.  Broncos probably won't even make the playoffs next year.

Lmao. 

It's two years removed. We can admit that was classic defensive pass interference. He bear-hugged the man. The point is, there are reasons to pick up flags. I would have definitely liked them to show the penalties though, that was dumb. Let us see, don't just make us trust your word its a foul.
