NAUgrad Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 I'm sure no one watched this game. However, I was watching it with my father-in-law from AZ and couldn't help but notice some of the calls Carolina was getting. 1) Boldin catches a TD pass that is promptly called back due to holding. On the replay it showed a Carolina playing falling right in from of the AZ TE who then fell on him. Okay, maybe they just missed that one. 2) King is in the pocket and isn't be pressured. He throws a deep ball and the receiver runs a button hook instead of a streak pattern. Another flag is thrown, this time against King for........now get this.........intentional grounding. That's right he intentionally threw is a mile over the receivers head with no pressure on him in the pocket. Arizona ended up with 11 penalties. It seemed like the game was poorly officiated very much in favor of Carolina. I've never seen such home town refing. It was so bad it actually got funny as I was rooting for Carolina. Anyone else see the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaterMan Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 I can't bear to watch the Carolina games because they seem to always been flag crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donutrun Jellies Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 If Carolina has truly found refs to give them gifts, they've got to get refs who are better at it if they're hoping to make the playoffs!!! Tough to think a 3-7 team is getting tooooo much handed to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potman Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 I was actually at this game and couldn't believe the amount of flags that were thrown. I wouldn't say the game was called in Carolina's favor, but that one call for intetional grounding was "mind boggling". The receiver clearly ran the wrong route and SKing (who just s*cks) threw it deep. Otherwise the game was flag crazy against both teams.
