I did think that Carolina got screwed on that non-catch call in the first quarter. Don’t know what the replay official was looking at, but it clearly looked like a catch to me. Two plays later was the sack and fumble recovery for the TD. Might not have changed the outcome, but the NFL needs to bring some common sense into the entire instant replay business.
It was my conclusion that because the nose of the ball rolled on to the ground, there was insufficient evidence to over turn the call. Speaking of rolling on the ground— did you see Cam Newton in fetal position rolling on the ground like child when it hit him they would lose? It was sad to watch. Very embarrassing. Then he could not handle post game at all. Sad loser.
