It's only fixed when your team loses.

They did a sh-t job. It happens.

Agreed.

I will say that the possibility exist that a ref could be influenced by gamblers.  It has happened in the past, and could happen in the future.  Maybe even two could be influenced. But this was just another game with some questionable calls.  Nothing else to it.

You are talking to a guy who thinks that Duke and UNC get all the calls.  

But in the end ref's are human.  They make mistakes, and I do think on occasion that they get influenced by the crowd, or other factors.  And in the case you are referring to, they screwed up.  They admitted they screwed up.  They are probably going to get ripped by the NFL for it.  But to suspect that there is some ulterior or on the take over that call or the others is baseless.  

I understand refs make mistakes, but we are talking about a type of mistake I don't think any NFL ref has ever made.... And they should absolutely get ripped by the NFL for it and never be allowed officiate another playoff game in their careers. And honestly, they should probably be on some type of probation and if they make another mistake of that magnitude, they never ref another NFL game again.

It's one thing to screw up a PI call, it's another thing to give a team a free play for no reason whatsoever. I can't believe Zac Taylor didn't throw a water bottle or something at them for that level of ineptitude.

    • You got the gist of his main issue. He plays LB or whatever on D, but hates to tackle and contact. That's the summary.  I normally have a wide margin of " Hey vet min/bring him for try out/maybe he changed/etc etc". But he can not be trusted, * but he did just have his "best" season. He's like those RB that refuse to run between the tackles, bounce everything outside...they too are scared of contact. That's like the whole point of NFL, he's able to trick and athlete his way for 5 years, props to his and his agent.  Me personally I view him like virus, I wouldn't want him on film shying away from hitting while the rookies&UDFA are looking for how the Panthers do things. Plus Im the biggest sucker there is about giving former 1st, 2nd, etc another chances. Just not someone who doesn't want to play NFL and fools those with his god given gifts.  ____________________________________________________________   \ Not to add another layer to this, but I feel contact and hitting its the biggest problem for the NFL. I sorta agree with TEs, WRs, and RBs either going out of bounds or falling to the ground to avoid a solid hit(this goes out the window for 1st downs, SB, etc.) Like if a WR caught a deep slant and already gained 17 yards, but here comes a safety with a great angle, Im all for that WR to fall on the ground...... ugh...... But I think the opposite for my defense. I feel this topic is central sun hot and NFL has done a great job in avoiding it. Im surprised NFL is still allowed, I have huge doubts in the future. 
    • not sure if carolina picks a WR in this draft, they have some young WR already and will let them develop. Need another vet imo.  I think carolina is going to pass more to the RB's this coming season, look for them to move heaven and earth for Cam Skatteboo.  I really hope they go TE Warren in the 1st. That would add another dynamic to this offense.
    • If we miss this guy It's as bad as last year. He is really good. Like easily  he could be Ladd Mckonnkey say that's not a good comp.
