Can something be done about this referee bias against the Panthers?

I can't believe people truly believe these things.

I coached high school basketball for almost 30 years, and the number of fans who thought the refs were biased towards certain teams always made me laugh. Referees are human, and some of them aren't very good at their jobs, and an individual official might be more apt to call a certain style of play a certain way.... but goodness people. To think there's this mass conspiracy against your team is just silly.

That's what happened for the Saints no?

100% that happened to the saints that was a very odd season seems the nfl always gets very convenient nfl story lines.  The chiefs have always been good but since taylor swift has arrived they seem to get every single call.

So your theory is that the NFL is fixing games and risking a literal license to print BILLIONS every year if anybody found out because Taylor Swift?

This argument doesn't hold up.

2024: 2nd least penalized.

2023: 14th

2022: 7th

2021: 24th

2020: 29th

2019: 15th

2018: 32nd

2017: 27th

2016: 18th

2015: 12th

 

There isn't a real pattern here. They were a top 10 least penalized team in 2022, as well. Long before the Swift nonsense.

Also, the fuging idiots who watch because of Taylor Swift don't know or care at all about the game being played.

I think least vs most penalized doesnt work.  More attention needs to be paid to when the penalties are called and if they effected the outcome of the game.  One call can decide most nfl games if you extend a drive or kill a drive.  I remember watching a panthers game a few years back the other team was penalized way more than the panthers but all the penalties happened at times that basically made no difference, but then the panthers lost on a bad pass interference call at the end that decided the outcome but just looking at penalties it seemed opposite than what really happened during the game.  Everything goes back to money and rich people always want more.  In baseball, soccer, and basketball refs have been bought and paid for to change the points spread for gamblers.  It would be naive to think the same has not happened in the nfl to some level.  Maybe its just coincidence that certain things happen.... but there is always the famous quote no such thing as coincidence...

I think you are really trying too hard to make a narrative that makes very little sense. Did the refs block a GW FG?

Or, IDK, it could be that is a great football team filled with great players and also great coaches?

They can 100% influence gamesand it's perfectly legal. They are an entertainment industry no different than WWE. There's only so far they can go due to the players themselves, but refs can absolutely kill drives, make timely bad calls, etc. As long as they don't cost Vegas to lose too much, or make it to obvious no one will say a thing.

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
