Is this dude actually asking for MORE penalties? Dafuq?

[–] Traveler_Constant@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That makes no sense...

So if one team is getting flagged for actual infractions, the refs should... make up flags on the other side to even if out?

Just like foul disparity in the NBA. You want fouls to be fair, not equal in number. If one team is constantly driving the lane and drawing fouls while the other team is shooting from range, there's going to be a dissatisfied in total calls.

If you start calling equal fouls, one overly aggressive team will foul on one end of the court then expect to get could called FOR them on other. Which would be ridiculous.

first time?

The only time a gambler thinks they can’t lose 17 hands of blackjack in a row is when they’ve made another bet after losing 16 hands in a row.

[–] reno2mahesendejo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Or the sign of a really undisciplined team. Maybe like one where a player feels comfortable going up to the stands and shoving a fan.

[–] ScissorMeDaddiAss@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It could be a properly called game if one team committed 10 penalties and another committed only 1 in the half. That honestly doesn't even sound that out of the ordinary.

[–] Drag0nborn1234@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Bro making it sound like in a properly reffed game the refs have to rig it to keep the flags even....

"ah shit they already have 7 flags and the other team only has one, we can't call that helmet to helmet that sent a dude into the hospital"

[–] BToney005@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Make your field goals

[–] Hoosier_Daddy68@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

There are always poorly called games. Refs are human. Sort of.

[–] tsgram@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But what if one team commits 10 penalties and the other team 1?

[–] fuqqkevindurant@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Not possible. There is no such thing as a more disciplined team playing against a team that can't block the other without holding or commits silly penalties bc they aren't very good.

[–] AGoodTalkSpoiled@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It’s properly called if one team commits 10x the fouls/infractions. The goal is to call things correctly…that’s it.

I fully grant it’s possible that game was also called poorly. But this tweet makes no sense…the ratio between teams has no relevance.

[–] cerevant@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

We’ll just ignore the fact that the Bills are the most penalized team in the NFL.

[–] wombat660@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Pretty sure it was 11-1 in Superbowl lv. 90 yards in one quarter. It was obvious then and it's obvious now

[–] coldsliver@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

yep but remember, there's no script so nothing is influenced in the NFL by anything other than the athletes on the field.

[–] DosCuatro@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

My head cannon is that refs in Philly are afraid if they call a fair game that they'll get jumped in the parking lot. These posts always come after home Philly games.

[–] wilderjai@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Iggles-Buffalo?

[–] p4rc0pr3s1s@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Hey, they held their flags... when the Eagles were committing penalties. Horse collar tackle/roughing the passer? Nah. Defensive holding? Sorry, was on a call with my bookie, didn't catch that.

Wait, did that Bills corner just touch a receivers' elbow?! FLAG!! FLAG!! HOLDING!!

The NFL is a fucking joke of a product. Tom Brady isn't seeing a lack of talent, he's seeing a game which is fully controlled through the refs and is setup to make billions of dollars through gambling, which is advertised through out these rigged games and talked about through every pre game, half time and post game show.

[–] braiser77@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I'm starting to think the NFL maybe shouldn't have accepted money from gambling interests. I don't know, maybe it's just me.

[–] Hogo-Nano@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I mean...Are the calls wrong? If you are gonna post vague stuff like this at least back it up with some in depth analysis.

[–] SicWilly666@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I’m sure the refs are going to officiate a non-biased consistently called game Sunday…

[–] BebbleCast@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Bill are one of the most penalized teams, so of course they would have more flags than the Eagles who are what like bottom 5 in penalties?

[–] Moress@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I know the circle jerk is strong this morning but maybe don't commit that many penalties?

I'm more personally alarmed at the no calls though. .

[–] Brut-i-cus@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Well sometimes one team is committing more penalties

To say that 10-1 should never happen is laughable

The ratio is of no consequence as long as the call are being correctly called

So if a well coached team commits no penalties in a game against a poverty franchise that is fouling every other play the refs should ignore some of the penalties or give out unnecessary ones?

[–] babiesmakinbabies@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

So the more responsible team should be punished? Makes no sense. Let's race to the bottom.

[–] ZacapaRocks@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This crew goes into halftime and realized what happened and the response? Zero penalties called in the 3rd quarter.

NFL officiating is either completely broken, or it has an agenda. There is nothing in between. It's ruining the sport.
