Why didn't the refs call delay of game on gano's missed FG?

[PhillyB]

special teams got out there and missed the snap by at least a full second, if the network clock matched the game clock. throwing the flag as they do countless other times perfectly on time would've negated the miss, setting us up for a 60-yarder or a punt with much better field position.

all's well that ends well but this has bothered me since it happened.

[E CaT PanTHer 2]

refs knew gano was gonna miss it and they knew a 5 yard penalty would have forced the panthers to punt. 

it was the right non call to help detroit get back in the game.

[t96]

It was 2-3 full seconds I think and yeah terrible no-call. Though if he made it we'd be thrilled with the call so whatever. We won.

Had that ball been on line a flag would have been thrown.

Guarantee you that if Gano made that the flag would have come out....late if necessary.

If I were Rivera, Id file a complain just to show and expose the NFL as cheaters for the teams they want to win.

It should be an easy game to show. Even Addison I believe it was got held so bad while the ref was looking that he fist punched the air in his direction out of frustration. It's so disgusting and dishonest I honestly can't believe "accident's" with the refs don't happen. As a player you could tell who was doing that on purpose and who just missed calls here and there....we all could.

The real reason it doesn't get out is because it affects the money. If it truly got out that the NFL kept games close or that refs were acting like that one guy from the NBA for example....it'd cost millions and that's not just coming out of the NFL pocket.

Is there proof that refs are fixing games?

not really. it's all subjective. But in this particular play, if Gano makes the fg, delay of game and a punt, but, as in what happened Gano misses, no delay of game which gives Detroit better field position.

No more than there was in the NBA before Tim Donaghy.  It's more about the money not the NFL literally fixing who wins. I also find it cute that some people think there are no steroids in the NFL too though....it's so sweet.

I've noticed if a team is about to get a new stadium they will miraculously have an amazing season. Happened with the Giants, happened with ATL, and now its happening with the Rams.

Basically cheating.

Come be honest here.. there has to be several refs cheating to push their team to win for their bets.. it's impossible that they are all clean.
