Barkley dropped the ball before his first TD

I don't post often, hell I haven't posted in years, but I felt the need to point this out.

It seems like nearly every year or so a player drops the ball to begin celebrating against the Panthers prior to breaking the plane and it never gets properly ruled.

Drives me nuts every time it happens. It's the type of call we'll never get unless it happens in primetime.

Looks close, but I think he still had possession when he crossed the plane. He'll definitely getting a talking to about that one though when they're reviewing the film on this game. No sense in doing something like that which could put an easy TD in jeopardy and essentially seal a loss for your team.

But all TDs are reviewed so could the Panthers have challenged it anyway? Even in the still photo it looks like he still has it in his hand.

They didn't have to. But if the automatic review didn't overturn it, challenging it would have been a waste.

    • The difference is that Sanders has the work ethic and does work. Johnny didn't. Bad comp.
    • I explained that I was old school and I realize that others have a different opinion.  Being Deion's son is a bit different.   It suggests that his focus is on the money and not football--It is not just the diamonds--it is the dollar sign on the shirt.  Telling a reporter from the Raiders "I ain't going sixth."  Asking another reporter, "Do you know who my dad is?"  When asked what sets him apart from the others, he said that he is mentally more prepared.  Meanwhile, Dad as recently as March Deion, implied he would advise Shedeur to avoid certain franchises--later to retract that position during an interview with Skip Bayless.  You can't take the fact that he is probably a late first, early second round talent and ignore the fact that his comments, jewelry, $ on his shirts and uniform towels might suggest a feeling of entitlement, a person focused on the return more than the opportunity. As I said very clearly--this is my opinion about one person who was raised as a great player's son and how it might rub some the wrong way.  It comes off as entitled.  Fine if he lives up to it, but to me, it suggests that his mind might not be in the right place.  Perhaps he should be focused on humility, his work ethic, and how he is going to earn it--instead, this comes off as someone who thinks this is his reward.  I am sure that others feel the same way, but if I am the GM, I do not want the circus.  Remember Johnny?  I commented at the time that his money gesture would backfire.  It tells me that his mind was not in the right place.  Same thing.
