Didn't see the game, but you might want to check some stats before you state they throw a ton of flags cuz here are the number of penalties in yesterdays games.

Seems to me like they had the 3rd fewest of the 15 games, but those are only FACTS.

Do you know why the flag was picked up? These guys have forgotten more about the NFL rules then you will ever know. I work NFL rules in semi-pro ball and there are more exceptions to the rules then there are rules. Did you know there are 7 holding exceptions, yes, it is right in the rule book stating that what would normally be called holding "is not a foul for holding" in these exceptions. In less the League says they "screwed up", which the league admits when they do, they got it right. There is somewhere you can get the number of penalties each crew threw last year if you really want it, but I don't know where it is.

By the way, fans boo everytime they see a flag cuz they normally can tell by who throws it if it is on their team or not.

Like I said, I didn't see the game, but one or two plays do not make a game, and you cannot judge a crew by the fans reactions. Sometimes to get it right, the "group talk" could take a while to get it right. Hopefully, eventually, they got it right. I would rank Tom White as one of the better R's overall, but remember, anybody can have a bad day if that did in fact happen.

We'll see them in primetime next week as I know they have the Monday night game.
