Breaking news: Adam Thielen lashes out at the officials after a contentious call……..

 

Panthers veteran wide receiver Adam Thielen isn’t happy with the team’s narrow 33-30 loss to the Packers — or with the refereeing that accompanied it

With the game knotted late in the fourth quarter, Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love threw a throw down the near sideline to receiver Romeo Doubs  who caught it for a 36-yard gain

The Panthers, on the other hand, believed the play that kept the Packers’ game-winning drive alive should have been declared incomplete because Carolina believed the ball was being juggled as it fell to the ground

The play was upheld after a challenge  and Green Bay marched down the field to score what proved to be the game-winning field goal by Anders Carlson

Thielen, 33, told reporters after the game that those calls were typical of the Packers, with whom he had numerous clashes during his nine years with the Vikings.

“I thought they had some questionable calls in the game, but that’s usually what happens when you play the Packers.” I have many games against the Packers. “That’s what you usually get,” Thielen told reporters

The receiver went on to discuss his observations of the play and the replay

I saw the entire play. “I saw a catch and then the ball moving  Thielen described the play The ball moves as he falls to the ground.” Controls it once more, falls to the ground, and loses it once more. The ball, in my judgment, moved twice. Two distinct epochs There wasn’t enough time to keep the ball under control

“You know what they say, control followed by a football move  There was no football action. Then he goes out of bounds  So you can slow it down There’s no catch at full speed.”

According to The Athletic, NFL vice president of officiating Walt Andeson defended the call after the game

Obviously, we begin with the ruling on the field. “It was a catch, and the receiver maintained control the entire time he was falling to the ground,” Anderson said. “We saw the ball touch the ground, but we also saw that he had control of it in his left hand

The left hand never left the ball, and there were no available shots demonstrating that he actually lost control of the ball in his left hand even though it touched the ground

But the Panthers got the ball back, and with 13 seconds left, rookie quarterback Bryce Young completed two throws to push the Panthers to the Packers’ 31-yard line

Young spiked the ball with one second left in the game, but the officials ruled that the spike occurred after the game clock had reached zero

The Panthers may have attempted a game-tying 48-yard field goal if the clock had been stopped in time

However, the game concluded with the Panthers losing again after breaking their six-game losing run in Week 15 with a 9-7 victory over the Falcons

According to the Charlotte Observer, Panthers interim head coach Ron Rivera claimed after the game that he “absolutely” believed the team got the spike off in time
