Where did my thread go

My apologies. I should have worded my post better to have a discussion about. Sorry.

I'd love to have a discussion about games where there are a lot of flags and how that changes how we work.

I had a game Friday night where we threw about 20 and I'm just not sure how we could've thrown fewer. The previous night, our crew had a total of 3 accepted penalties. The previous Friday, we had only 7.

Any experienced official (or crew) knows that there are going to be games like that. They normally involve a lot of formation/false start/encroachment fouls, due to the teams being poorly coached or just plain undisciplined.

As the old bromide goes, "The better the ball, the better I call."

Well said.

my record is 37 flags.

and the thing was they were mostly flags that have to be called. UNR / and FS and ENC. very little subjective flags.


No one wants to work a game like that.

When I finish the game and review the penalty I put the penalties in two groups. Theirs and Ours

Theirs= Penalties that are no brainers and the teams/players have done something very basic incorrectly i.e. offsides, false starts, delay of games, illegal formation and etc.

Ours= This is where our judgement comes into play. Holding, Illegal Blocks. Pass Interference, Unsportsmanlike or Unnecessary Acts.


We usually have very few OURS

We had 4 false starts in a row on Friday....along with a player ejection, 3 UC's, 2 or 3 RTP's and I couldn't tell you how many encroachments and DPIs. Easily a record for us. Must be the moon phase.
