Definitely not laying down for them. So many holes on this team, though, and the biggest is Brandon Browner.
Yep, the officiating was pretty bad. Did the Panthers score on the 2nd quarter drive where Olson caught the pass on the sideline and clearly didn't get the second foot down? That one, and the punt return where they called us for a phantom block in the back but completely missed the hit out of bounds were the worst. Browner got a penalty for needlessly clocking a guy after the play and away from the play. Later in the game he did it again but the refs missed it. He is absolutely horrible, and I have to think the only thing keeping him on the roster is that we can't keep 4 cornerbacks healthy. Did anyone hear what happened to Breaux? He was having a ridiculous game.
Yet again, the defense and kicker let Brees down. He doesn't deserve the ineptness of this pathetic organization.
Once again, the NFL conspiracy rears it's ugly ass. This shit's been going on since 2012. Today was as blatant as I've seen and it's really unnecessary, since we're not making the playoffs. In addition to those calls/no calls already mentioned, Carolina also had 12 men break the huddle twice with no flags. I mean, the officials don't even try to hide it anymore. They get away with it, even after Payton points it out. It sucks because we're not good enough to overcome a historically pathetic defense and cheating ass refs. And fuck Carolina. There's not a player I hate more then $cam Newton and the only team I hate worse is ATL. By the slimmest of margins. I hope they go undefeated all the way to the Super Bowl, then pull an 18-1 New England, so the hurt will be that much worse. /end rant
How do you consistently miss 12 men in the huddle? That's the easiest call to make, it requires no judgement, it just is.
