Penalties

  Time Of Possession, Field Position, Turnovers and Penalties!!!!  These are the BIG FOUR in football.  Statistics have proven that winning three of these four categories ups your odds of walking away with a W.  The past few weeks there have been some questionable calls in the NFL.  Fines have been levied, refs have been punished, THE TIDES HAVE RISEN AND THE END OF EXISTECE IS AT HAND!!!  I've heard from so many fans "That call effected the outcome of the game"  One question.  Doesn't all penalties effect the outcome of games?  Think about it.  What would football be without a questionable call,  or a no call for that matter?  The league saw fit to give penalties a separate category.  Why, because it affects outcomes of games.  And let us be honest.  It's only a bad call If it affects your team.  I'm not a scholar but I'm smart enough not know, it's not a penalty if you don't get flagged for it.  Coaches don't pull there hair out because you committed a penalty, there pulling there hair out because you got caught.  And before I sign off I have to say this.  The Broncos still had to score.  And ya know what? they did.  On top of that, they converted a 2 point conversion running the same route they scored the TD with.  If anyone is gonna cry, cry for the Chargers defence because that's just sad.  Peace-Mark

  1. Mark, you are right about penalties being part of the game.  I don't think officials go out there and purposely try to get the calls wrong.  It's their job and overall they do it well.  It's easy for us to see their faults when they slow it down in super- slow-motion and from 27 different angles.  The Ref has one shot, in a split second, to get it right...and they usually do!  Are they perfect?  Absolutely not...but none of us would be.  In the San Diego game, you're right, Denver still had to make 2 plays back to back to win.  It was a bad call, the Ref knows it, we all know it, but I think it is time to move on...it is what it is!
