Genuinely wondering about the fairness of the refs today.

Matty Melt had his facemask grazed by Burns and they threw a flag but nothing for Falcons defenders leading with the helmet.

He was a runner, not a QB. Not the same thing.

Should have been a penalty. Same with the hit on Robby Anderson. But now we're set with PJ Walker so what's done is done.

Neither one of those were penalties. Learn the rules.

 

Runners don't get protected, and Sam was a runner. And Robby got hit with shoulder pads well within the strike zone. Sheesh.

 

Same with DJs TD drop. Some of you expect the Panthers to get every dang call. And go all ham when we don't.

The NFL is rigged. I don't care what anyone says. They get the refs to try to dictate the outcome of games and is the reason why I don't watch other games for the past 5 years. Games like today just make me want to give up on the NFL all together.

It does not matter how clean the hit is. Clean or not, the rule states you are supposed to give the Receiver a chance to run and the defender did not. It should have been a penalty. Maybe you shouldn't be telling others to learn the rules?

Am I the only one not up in arms over todays officiating?

 

And LOL at folks actually thinking refs are trying to skew games one way or another.

lol This is the second time you've said this. It is not true.

 

And  you sure have a hard time with folks that don't agree with you.

He loses control as the knee hits

In my entire history of watching football, I don't ever recall a similar play with a player going out of bounds and seeming to maintain control of the ball til he gets to the ground being initially rulled incomplete. 

Never. 

Not once.

They always call it a catch and then review it to see if it really was.

After watching the replay, it's even less defensible. Flat out bad call. Tell yourself whatever you want. I watched it multiple times. The initial call was completely inconsistent with all the football officiating I've ever seen, and the replay far from vindicated the officials call.

They usually are bad especially if you watch more games in a week than ours, other teams get poo refs too, I don’t think today for us was horrible though. Granted I wasn’t giving the game 100% of my attention but I didn’t see much besides them missing a call of helmet contact when Sam slide, not the original hit but after he was down and the play was blown another falcon definitely gave him a knee to the head.

Agree with you about Sam and Robby. Those were both perfectly legit hits. Disagree about the TD catch. That call was garbage.

You have to complete the catch. Which means when you go to the ground, you must maintain possession.

 

He did not make a "Football" move after the catch.
