The Fix is In: A look around the league at the most significant penalties in the NFL

[captaincuck]

SRS question: do those stats include penalties that were called but declined?

I think so but not sure. Click the links. You can look at every type of penalty and it does specify stuff like that.

[Hardcore_D00d]

Very interdasting op...veddy veddy interdasting. makes you wonder

[Vhagar]

the meltdown is reaching epic proportions

[reverse79]

a majority of those for NE is from Gronk. Hes also done a good job at selling the PI too.

Brady/Belichick always find the weakest defender to pick on - thats obviously going to cause more penalties on the opposing player.


just sayin....NE way of life

Was waiting for this, lol

[Brosnbroccoli]

Surprised at how much I agree with CaptainCuck ITT.


... and LMAOOO leave it to a patriot fan to chime in with "the patriot way of life". You must be dumb as fuk to think you're the only team capable of picking on the weakest defender. Jesus Christ.

[Miked1978]

The cope is real with OP.

Here are the penalty stats in case anyone wants to look at them objectively. Technically the fix was in for Carolina since they were the least penalized team.

God pushed Marcus Williams down. Get over it.

[iamgenus]

Did anyone confirm those numbers were correct? I feel like Dontae Johnson on his own had like 15 PI calls on him. Rashard Robinson had like 10 before they traded his ass.

[AltarOfPlagues]

fuk sake op its getting sad.

you know one year yall wasnt even in the PHUCKIN playoffs and yall kicked like a 50 yard game winner in week 17 to keep us out of the wildcard?

[JmanTheJuiceman]

Haven't seen cope this bad in a long time, thanks OP

Well the Saints sure don't considering on the most crucial drive for them Drew Brees threw at Xavier Rhodes 3 times in a row before finally a 4th down deciding not to.

[dtbrehm]

Brees was 39th this year in average attempted air yards. 39th...

Not sure why you expect a ton of penalty yardage. I'm actually having a hard time picturing how you can only have a 4 yard average on the PI calls you did get.

By sht do you mean extremely telling facts?

I wasn’t even referring to last Sunday’s game I was referring to 2009 that the entire Vikings fans have bitched about for years.

Do you think sundays game was officiated fairly? Try to be honest

2009
Minn 30
NO 95

2017
Minn 31
NO 97

If you are going to cry for 8 years over a game you were actually favored by the officials in, I’m gonna take a few days to talk about an actually rigged game

Yikes. You can't blindly expect penalties to be equal. You sound like the people who point to FT discrepancy in basketball as evidence of a game being rigged.

As for 2009, it was really just a couple of plays that people bitched about.
- Low hit on Favre's first interception. Dude was even fined for the hit afterwards, so it was pretty clearly an incorrect call that had a large swing.
- Phantom PI call in OT on an uncatchable pass.

[midcoastking33]

your team lost. get over it

[captaincuck]

Lots of frantic cope in here. Just laying the facts out for you. It’s amazing how difficult it is to interpret recorded statistics for some of you. The saints received 12 yards of PI for an entire season with one of the best WR in the game. 12 yards. Pats received 280.

[bballaman369]

The Vikings were called for 30 penalty yards in that game. The Saints were called for 90. Another great effort by you though.

So just because the Saints were called for more penalty yards in that game means the refs favored the Vikings? If you think that's true you may need to re-evaluate your life. In that 09 game there were easily more than 5 roughing the passer/late hits that we never called. The Saints should have had 200 penalty yards against them because they were breaking the rules of the game.

Show me a missed RTP call other than the one on the INT and I’ll give you your dignity back

burden of proof falls to you and you colossally failed per usual

How should I go about proving recorded statistics? This shouldn’t be difficult for someone with a Boston education. Or are you not from there? Cope bby, cope

So instead of a 15 yard penalty and automatic first down we lose the ball. Just that play alone is a huge miss by the refs that clearly favor the saints.

I'm just going off of memory, I don't have game film with all the penalties. I also remember there were mulitple no calls on PI in favor of the Saints and a PI call on the vikings where the ball was uncatchable. Also the "catch" in OT that was on the ground that they reviewed and gave it to the saints still. The refs clearly favored them the whole game and anyone with any sports IQ could see that. I think there was even something on espn talking about how bad it was. If it was 2 teams you didn't have a bias towards instead of the saints and it was called the same you would say the team that got the vikings end of the calls got screwed.

you're taking meaningless, arbitrary stats and twisting them to fit your insane narrative. i award you no points and may god have mercy on your soul

[captaincuck]

The two most meaningful penalties in the game that happen to also be the most subjective? Interesting take dumbo. Just lol at the garbage that just came from your keyboard

If you think the saints were favored in that 2009 game and not absolutely fuking hosed last Sunday....seek help

If the officials make the easiest of presnap calls on the saints last 3rd and 1, you lose and the luckiest play in Vikings history never happens

[lsiberian]

If the league is rigged then why did they overturn the Dez Bryant catch?

So it evens out then. You guys got them in 2009 they got you in 2018. You see everything works out.

[Brosnbroccoli]

And Brady never threw at the best CB since Deion Sanders. Right?
Lmao even harder. Do you even watch games.

[LeonardShelby]

What? You realize he completely avoided Richard Sherman in the Superbowl right? Brady wouldn't throw 3 straight passes at Revis on a game winning drive forcing a 4th down.

[LeonardShelby]

Brees was 39th this year in average attempted air yards. 39th...

You should've clarified: Phantom PI call in OT on an uncatchable pass that put them in field goal range.

Then moments later, a ball that hit the ground and moved but was ruled a catch and gave them an even closer field goal. If the refs were favoring the Vikings that would have been overturned to no catch especially with Captaincuck talking about judgment call plays with PI and def holding.

God forbid the refs give the saints more penalties. If they do it’s clearly fixed and the commish just didn’t want a chance for a brees and Brady super bowl. That’s what it must be right guys? Right?

Here's the thing though breh, you're an idiot bc Thomas is Brees' only reliable receiving target and he was being shadowed by Rhodes, who they blatantly exposed anyways. I don't know why that was a point you made anyways, pretty much irrelevant. Brees was throwing at "1st team all pro" Rhodes bc it was easy for him.
