Replay assistant for SB50, was a Broncos fan

[jasonluckydog]

That should be enough evidence to ask both teams to get back together and play this game again...SB 50 part 2, The revenge of Cam.

It would not have mattered. The Hawks didn't let the refs have the ability to decide the game, something we needed to do as well.

This^^^.  Are NFL officials biased or incompetent?  Not sure which without getting in their heads and that is not going to happen.

The only solution for a team hoping to win a SB is to take the refs ability of deciding the game away from them with a dominant performance.

Did Clete sack Cam 6 times? Did he make Mike Tolbert and Jonathan Stewart fumble? Did he make Ted Gin drop a pass that was intercepted? Did he tell the Panthers they weren't allowed to tackle the punt returner? What exactly did he do? Id be more into this theory if our guys didn't play so poorly.

How convinient that EVERYTHING went in the Broncos favor. This superbowl should no doubt have an asterisk beside it. The integrity of the league continues to take a hit. Soon people will have enough of this sh*t.

This guy gets it.  You get to complain about bad officiating when you did everything right and bad calls cost you the game.  When you do almost everything wrong, the officials can't be blamed, even if they didn't do a good job.

what really sucks is that as bad as Carolina played, they likely still win if all the 50-50 calls that went Denver's way had just been down the middle.  Cotch catch likely negates 7 points for Denver, Talib offsides likely means 3 or 7 in the favor of Carolina, and the blown PI in the red zone leads to 3 or 7. 

 

But Carolina would have played like the shittiest game ever and had been super bowl winners.  Nobody would have deserved to win.

No this guy "gets it" because he agrees with your view point.

Show me where the official from Charlotte had a part in costing Denver a 30 yd reception, and allowed Carolina to take a shot a Mannings head before stripping the ball for a TD that never should have been?  You can't, but if the tables were turned, you and other Bronco fans would be bitching just as much. So kindly leave us the hell alone and go join one of the many Broncos circle jerks.

I acknowledge that the Panthers didn't play up their ability,  but thst one series alone was a pivitol turning point in the game that unfairly turned the momentum in Denvers favor. Not to mention many other momentum killing calls the rest of the game against the Panther.

So excuse us if the majority of Panther fans that do not share in your narrative.

It's not my "narrative".  The replay assistant cost the Panthers nothing, because he has no decision making ability.  In the history of sports, there are bad calls in every game.  It's a reality.  If your team plays perfectly and a bad call is the deciding factor, you have room to complain.  

If you turn the ball over 4 times, get absolutely stonewalled in the run, and make two major special teams errors, then the bad calls weren't the problem.

If a team can't overcome "pivotal turning point" on the 2nd drive of the game, with over 3 quarters of time left on the clock, then they weren't good enough to win that day.  There was almost a full quarter at the end of the game with only a 6 point deficit.  A single touchdown could have won the game and they couldn't do it.

The Panthers are a great team and they had a fantastic season.  Don't sully that by complaining about officials.  Take accountability for all the opportunities they had.

Just on user name alone how do you expect anyone to take you seriously?

My first guess would be that user name and join date don't have any bearing on the content of a post.  I'm not here dick waving about the win.  I've said nothing but respectful things about the franchise and facts about the game.  Carolina didn't play well enough to win.  It wasn't the refs or a vast NFL conspiracy.  Would they win 3 out of 4 against Denver? Maybe, we have no real way of knowing, but it's not out of the question.  They are a great team with a lot of strength.  But they didn't play well enough to win that one.  Look to preparation issues on offense, look at guys getting outplayed at the point of attack, look at a defense that played more than well enough to win that got left hung out by the play of the O and ST.  But don't pretend that the officials were the deciding factor.  Especially because a guy who assists in the video part of the replay with no decision making power is married to a Bronco fan.

Denver didn't play well enough to win either.

In fact, Denver was outplayed on both sides of the ball. But as Josh Normam said, its hard to beat two teams. 

Bad calls/non calls directly contributed to at least 14 points for Denver. 

If we add in the Talib offsides, we are talking about a 17 pt swing. That's without factoring in the picked up flag on the def holding and other BS calls.

I'm assuming you mean the long punt return and the missed field goal. There was an illegal fake fair catch signal by Norwood and Talib was offsides.  Just admit the calls were slanted heavily in favor of the Broncos.  

Are the bad calls the reason the panthers lost?  No, great teams should overcome bad officiating.  If the officiating is fair and neutral you take at least ten points off the Broncos score.  But playing the what if game is stupid and there's no changing the past.  The Broncos are super bowl champions.  

 

There's a comment in the below thread by @CPantherKing that really highlights the extremely high number of bad calls in favor of the Broncos.  18 bad or missed calls.  That goes far beyond the "bad calls in every game" argument you're making.

The number of keyboard tough guys that don't live in Colorado and cheer for the Broncos is nothing short of amazing. Local fans seem to be so much more level headed

Is that somehow more of an assumption than assuming somebody who is married to a Bronco fan makes them a Bronco fan?

Isn't it somehow more of an assumption that assuming somebody is married to a female Bronco fan, and who would like to have sexual intercourse with said female Bronco fan, definitely makes them a Bronco fan (albeit a closet one because NFL rules strictly prohibit this #yeahright)?
