Sometimes the pass interference and/or defensive holding seems a little over the top. Offense generates excitement for the great bulk of fans, and especially for new fans they are trying to attract. It's just the way it works. Agree. Receivers cry for a flag everytime a defender is near them.

Heck I always expect a flag on any mid-deep incompletion, and I always expect a flag when a RB breaks one. Flags are out of control right now. IMO, the whole league is messed up. Instead of focusing on making games more "exciting" via rules that help offenses, they need to improve on this so-called parity. 9 teams have combined to win 75% of all Super Bowls. Meanwhile, 13 teams have never won a championship in a combined 549 years of existence.

He also pushes the ball down the field more than most of those guys besides Ryan and Stafford. He also has had his #1 TE dropping quite a few passes and even Boyd and Lafell have dropped a few. Has not had his top RZ threat this year. He also probably has had the worst OL of any of those 5 ahead of him...

You mean completion percentage? Big difference because with completion % the drops come into play and Andy's recievers have dropped a bunch!

I've had co-workers tell me that they watch less football simply because any exciting play is called back. If a WR drops a ball, he calls for PI. If a WR makes the catch, then the DB calls for a push off.

There were actually more penalties called in 2005 than in the last couple of years. And even at the highest point there were still pnealties on fewer than 10% of the plays. No one has stopped watching football because of penalties.

To be fair that is just casual observation of a small sample size, nothing to draw any real conclusion from. If you were in a crowd of 5 buddies and they all said the decline in viewership is because the uniforms are ugly it doesn't mean that is a real reason why there is a decline just what a like minded group believes. In all honesty if the NFL knew they would fix it, but no one really knows it is just guessing.

It was just one example. Obviously. I've gone onto other boards and seen fans talk about why they're not tuning in. Penalties are ONE of the reasons they're tuning out. Even Sean McDonough acknowledged it on MNF recently. McDonough and Gruden both said that these games have been hard to watch/broadcast because of the officiating.

Dalton has jumped up a spot. He now has the 9th best passer rating among active QBs and also ranks 14th all time.

Actually, He'd be tied for 3rd for those that qualify (14 att per game). 1.Brady, Hoyer - 0 2. Bradford, Wilson, Kessler, Prescott - 1 3. Dalton, Smith, Taylor - 2 Dalton was the 8th QB i counted, that qualified. That's how i came up with the stupid number.

Beast mode Green, Dependable LaFell, Boyd on the rise, and some Tyler Eifert. Somehow I'm becoming increasingly optimistic about this pass offense going forward. And this will almost certainly help the run game, along with what I hope was a re-energizer for Gio and Hill against the Browns.
Note: This optimism is completely dependent on our Offensive Line and Defense not ruining the season for us 2 games in a row. |
