I'm glad I'm not the only one who was thinking this

[Castavar]

I thought to myself watching live why the whistle was blown so fast. I thought it was a clear strip sack. It's absolute bullsh*t that Cam never gets these favorable calls just like every other QB. That roughing the passer flag yesterday on Drew Brees was complete sh*t that Cam takes every game. Even Deshaun Watson got a bullsh*t roughing the passer penalty, and he's a RUNNING rookie QB, so that "running QBs don't get those flags" talk is utter crap. The NFL just doesn't like Cam, plain and simple. Rant over.

Hey brotha, you from Cleveland?

Every single DL player contacted the QB at some point on that play. Don't see that too often.

We all know they wouldn't have blown that whistle if that was Cam back there. Thanks for the D-line porn though, lol.

By the rule book, the refs probably did the right thing:  

"Officials are to blow the play dead as soon as the quarterback is clearly in the grasp and control of any tackler, and his safety is in jeopardy."

The problem is that the rules are a moving target that vary by QB.  That rule is designed for an immobile QB like Hoyer.  They know that Hoyer is a sitting duck, so once it was obvious he wasn't going anywhere, they blew the play dead once Star passed him off to Pep because they knew he didn't have a chance at making any kind of play.

They probably wouldn't blow that same play dead so soon for Cam, but that's also because they know that he has a better chance of escaping and making a play.  They err on the side of waiting to see if he can get out of a situation like that.  It's a double-edged sword because we want him to be protected, but we also want him to have the opportunity to escape the pocket.

Hey, hey, no way! I got that D battery thing from those raucous fans in Philly. They would throw d batteries at guys coming in or out of the tunnel.

Me? Been in Charlotte so long I'm an honorary native. Came to CLT from Chicago way back when.

To My Hoyer was free when he was hit by Peppers.  He was making a move to get away and had Pep not been there you can bet they would have given him the yardage he would have gained because it looks to be an open field if not for Peppers.

[Proudiddy]

Yeah, should've been a fumble and TD.  Really irritated me during the game.  But, refs and all...

When it was live, they did another angle that his knee was clearly down as Pep was stripping it.

Penetration by interior d-linemen is good, double penetration is even better.

He wasn't a running back and he wasn't going forward. There is no reason he should have been whistled. What if our guys had body slammed him back another 4 yards. That would have counted.
