OT: Camthers v Saints

This game, y'all. I don't know if the heart palpitations are from stress or from so much CAM heat.

Wow. Great game! CAM did everything he could but the Panthers are just an awful franchise.
And yet, we’ll see an entire offseason of him getting blame, analysts saying he’s not accurate enough and idiots saying he runs too much and has to play banged up too often and they’ll tell you why he needs to be an elite pocket passer for CAR to ever win it all. That’s the routine on any DTQB for NFL dudes.....unless you are Russell Wilson I guess.

The Panthers got screwed on that intentional grounding. Cam played his heart out. If he played like that vs Denver they win the super bowl. I bet he has had 7 or 8 concussions.

The hit he took yesterday that messed up his eye was a big hit.
 

I think it was probably grounding, though the NFL rules are so friendly to QB's it was borderline by the book.

I think grounding should be changed so it's called much more frequently in the football. All the rules favor the passing game now. If a QB can't get the ball near a WR he should take a sack or slide and take the lost yardage. Sorry not sorry QB's. You shouldn't get to throw the ball 20 rows up just because you are "outside the tackle box". WTF is that anyway? Why would it be okay to intentionally throw the ball away from one area but not from the other? Makes no logical sense to me at all. If it's illegal to throw it away from outside the pocket, why isn't it legal inside the pocket? Get the ball in the general area of a receiver or be flagged IMO. Pretty basic stuff. No "good play by the QB to get rid of it" when he's outside the tackle box and saves 7 yards by heaving it towards his head coach while no receiver is within 20 yards. Make the offense eat it sometimes. We've made everything else easy for them anyway.
 
I wouldn't argue with someone having Russel Wilson ahead of CAM but his game is so ridiculous. For all the crap CAM gets for not being effective from the pocket all Wilson does is run around in circles until the DL passes out then he launches it downfield or runs. So cartoonish but usually effective. Would have been perfect for the Gus O.
 

“I liked what we were doing down the stretch and I thought we had a chance to score on that last drive, you know, and I kind of feel like it was taken away from us,” said head coach Ron Rivera. “That’s a tough one to handle.”

Rivera said he was not given an explanation by the referees for the call.

“I thought the quarterback was out of the pocket. I thought there was a receiver (Devin Funchess) in the vicinity. I thought the ball passed the line of scrimmage. I mean, I don’t know,” he said. “It’d be nice to have an explanation.”

Tight end Greg Olsen, who argued the call with officials after the game, said that he heard the other referees arguing against the call with the head official, Tony Corrente.

“I didn’t see (the play),” he said. “But I heard the other officials come in and try to convince the head ref that he was out of the pocket and the ball crossed the line of scrimmage. That’s what they continued to say over and over.

“I then thought he was going to change it, but obviously he stuck with what he originally saw.”


Despite teammates’ frustration with the penalty, Newton said that the play was not what decided the game.

Oh, wow, can't imagine Panther's coaches and players thinking it was a bad call. Suck it losers.
