KRUNKuno Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 It’s not always about the number of penalties as opposed to when the penalty occurred. A defensive holding call on 2nd and long An offensive holding call in plus territory A pass interference call etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed on poor timing, but not many penalties are ever at a good time. Get our current season trend back to upper 1/3 of the league and we'll give ourselves a chance is really what it's about.

Realsurfin Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 120+ yards of penalties is like having a ghost 12'th man on the field for the other team. We run back the ball to the 40 only to have brought back to half the goal.... kills the chance for a field goal to tie up the score. Penalties just are bad. roguebeaver and KRUNKuno 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRUNKuno Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 My issue has never been too many penalties. It’s been the undisciplined nature and timing in which the penalties occur...Jake Matthews in the Super Bowl ring a bell? Yes all penalties are bad, but some hurt just a little bit more.

The amount of special teams penalties on returns should be the narrative for this team, but the grotesquely amount on both sides of ball have made this point moot. Barner would/should be a league leader in yardage, has certainly made me a believer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEIST Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Yep. And people will dismiss it with 'Its the timing of the penalty.' Which is just bias at work. You don't watch every team. The Falcons have been middle of the pack in first downs via penalty. And the separation is less than a penalty a game. But anyway, when is a good time for a penalty (outside of preventing a big play)? Francis York Morgan and Ergo Proxy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realsurfin Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 (edited) Penalties are really a player problem. Not so much a coaching problem. Coach can only reprimand them. Can't spank them except to bench 'em. Make them pay a fine for each penalty. 5000 bucks a pop. Donate the money at end of season to a local children's charity. Penalties cost games period. They always come at a bad time. Most times it creates the bad time. Sloppy players equal Sloppy play. It cost us games. Make no excuses. Just stop!
