Those things, along with 'less penalized teams are more successful' are all things that have been studied and found to not be true on an overall scale.
Three of the top four most penalized teams made the playoffs. The fourth (Chargers) just missed the playoffs. The Bills and Chiefs were both in the top 8 most penalized teams.
Colts, WFT, Broncos, Giants and Falcons were in the bottom 8 (least penalized) and didn't make the playoffs.
You can make the argument that the Bengals and Rams were in the bottom 4 of most penalized teams and played in the SB. You can make claims in any set of statistics that are factually correct, but in a larger study, they don't make a significant correlation.
The studies that have been done on penalties and winning show that, overall, there is no correlation.
Outliers can be found in anything.
I just don't understand how a Bengal fan who has watched us lose game after game because of penalties or lack of penalties
against the other team can say they have no correlation with winning or losing. Baffles my mind, there are hundreds of examples.
We wouldn't of made the Playoffs last year if we weren't as disciplined as we were, let alone won 3 games and went to the SB.
Guarantee it.
We would be in the same boat as we were with no hope and being apathetic. Penalties are a much bigger deal than you and
Fred make out. Careful who you tie your boat to Rfaulk lol

Truth. Shows good coaching as well. The Raiders have been one of the most penalized teams of the last 2 decades.
There is a reason no matter how much talent they have they cannot win when it matters, they are undisciplined.
Some teams like the Steelers get away with it though, unless they play the Patriots and Brady.
