Its unfortunate the Panthers lost, I had a gut feeling the Bye would hurt their team, more than any other team because of their lack of post-season experience, imo, it would have been better for the Panthers to have been a Wild Card and get a game in vs a lesser team.
So I think that was a key difference in the game, 49ers aren't better than your team, its just their post-season experience in the last 3 years far outweighed the Panther's experience.
But I'm with you on the Refs, I felt before the Seahawks-Saints game, whoever won, the rival in the Panthers-49ers game, would probably get the benefit of the calls.
There is any thing to feel bad about, Panthers weren't expected to be as dominant as they were this season and going from 7-9 to 12-4, was a huge step for Newton and Rivera. Hopefully, you keep Hardy. And if I was your GM I would send some Draft Capital for that #2 spot to get Sammy Watkins.
Cam Newton and Sammy Watkins on the same team would be amazing.

Seriously? Do you really think Harbaugh makes any difference to the zebras? If he did I'd be all for it...but he doesn't. Hell, he GOT flagged in this game.

also, there was that 12-man-in-the-huddle during that same series, that the tv guys pointed out, and the refs didn't bother to call.
My brother, who personally knows some pretty big people in the NFL(GMs, Players) said that his friend is an OT for Carolina and that friend said that Cam is a weak minded fool. No Lie. He also told me some other juicy secrets that I wont dispose because it has nothing to do with this topic.willyum":1rv76j6s said:Boy am I glad Cam Newton isn't our QB.

No leadership when they needed, no sense of urgency, bad game management in crunch time, that play where he killed all that time at the line of scrimmage and ended up being a 1 yard run? and that interception to Whitner was a terrible pass, didnt even give Olsen a chance at the ball
and that flop... LOL no wonder he does the Lebron dance
I reckon it does. The refs are human and it gets in their heads for future calls. There was a play in the Denver-SD game where Welker and a SD guy were pushing off each other and the ref only threw a flag after Welker started bitching to them.Marvin49":25zv5388 said:Largent80":25zv5388 said:And the NFL is tired of looking at your over dramatic coach whining to officials.

Agreed, good teams man up. They still may lose but they don't fold like Carolina did.Inqui":2dpimfr9 said:I reckon it does. The refs are human and it gets in their heads for future calls.

That said, the drives on each side of HT decided that game (and they kinda shouldn't have, but that's more on the Panthers). SF got some pretty lucky breaks while driving for that go-ahead TD, but Carolina needs a hurry-up offence imo. Refs calls do impact the game, but teams that get jibbed should be able to get past that unless they're really flagrant.
Care to dispose them? As a Carolina fan, I am actually interested. I won't tell anyone. Promise.Seahwkgal":2tqvk7ol said:My brother, who personally knows some pretty big people in the NFL(GMs, Players) said that his friend is an OT for Carolina and that friend said that Cam is a weak minded fool.

Completely agree. Then again, the NFL is known to protect it's "big time" teams. It's disgusting. I think you guys are good enough to overcome that, though.mrblitz":42kc7vk5 said:i thought davis was out on that td before halftime, and it seemed to take the wind out of the panthers' sails. plus, that was a reversal of the on-field call. i'd thought that reversals were supposed to be 'without a doubt'. well i had plenty of doubt about that play. ymmv.
