TNF on NBC: Broncos vs Panthers Game Thread

[DFWJC]

There was a minimum of 3 helmet to helmet hits. Only the last one was flagged, and that was negated by offsetting fouls. I'd be pissed too.

This. Obvious ones too.

The icing worked there. Would have been better had he not attempted the kick the first time. He just pushed it inside the right post. Overcompensated too much the second time.

Icing the longsnapper.

This game went right to the wire !!!

 

[Blackspider214]

I thought the NFL was all about player safety? Where was the concussion protocol on that hit?

I guess ratings and the game on the line got in the way of that. 100% sure Cam got one on that hit. He didn't even look like he knew where he was at the end of the game.

Just crazy!

Just crazy!

The last two looked pretty unintentional to me. He was falling into the helmet hit because he was on his way down both times.

Wow! Just Wow!

The last one is the one that they called the penalty on. The one that Ware sacked him and then he got hit in the head by Miller it was as much him falling into Miller as anything Miller did. To his credit Cam said it was a physical game and that it wasn't the difference in the game.

My mistake I honestly didn't know this has been in the league , lol. Never heard of him ever!!

People acting like he is a vet. He was a 7th round draft pick last year who did not throw 1 single pass, run nothing. He NEVER touched the field. So yes for all intents and purposes that dude was a rookie

 

[SlammedZero]

That was a great game to kick off the season. While I don't question Cam's toughness and think he has actually developed into a good QB, man is he a crybaby. His on the field demeanor could use some polishing.

And....the NFL isn't fixed. Looks like the new K ball is working in Denver.

Honestly...why does the league have to put computer chips in the football? Things that make you go...Hmmmm. Not joking. Look it up...http://www.nfl.com/.../nfl-will-put-chips-in-footballs-as...
NFL will put chips in footballs as part of study
The NFL continues to search for new methods for making extra point attempts and field goal attempts more difficult -- and thereby more exciting.

No challenges after 2 minutes. Just another way the league can influence outcomes in the most pivotal moment of the game

Yep...hated the rule from day one....

This. The NFL needs to look into this. 3rd and 22 and a little 5yd penalty gives the offense a free first down. That is not right.

Watching the game now. It was close but the ball hits the ground on the Int. for the broncos @ 14 mins in the 4th. Other than that seemed like a well refd game!

It helps control the outcome of the game. Those penalties are gold.

Ware with 2 sacks, I know there is a high probability hell battle though injuries this year, but three seasons later and he is still producing. We could use those sacks....

He'd be triple teamed in Dallas.
