Penalties


Dex

Recommended Posts

The replacement refs are overcompensating with some of this stuff. "Oh, I saw it, I saw it...let me call a penalty".

I hope it gets straightened out. The funny thing is that whoever didn't understand in the past comments like, 'there's holding on every play'...should know that has always been true. There is 'some degree' of judgement these refs should make before calling everything. For example, the unecessary roughness call last night? It wasn't horrible, but the players forward progress had still not stopped..it was an unecessary call...like so many this pre-season already.

I hope you're not refering to the call against #42 Wilson late in the game.

Actually I am 2jake. It was just 1 example (review my post, b/c I did say I could understand it, but that it demonstrated). The WR made a move, was corraled by 2 defensive players & he snuck aorund. He hit the ground & not even a 1/2 second later was hit by Keon Wilson. You will see a hit within less than 1 second throughout the season & 7/10 times it will not be called. I played running back & was often hit after landing on the ground. Why did it get called? Because he led with his head & refs are confused as to what thye need to call in relation to that. He was not a defensless player.

My point, don't get caught up on that example: Throughout the night refs called plays correctly, but very literally. If they do this throughout the season you will hear others talking about what I am & follow. You can't call every holding incident, you can't call every touch of a WR at 5 yards & 1 inch or incidental contact as holding or PI. Games will drag on & be grueling.

I disagree.... I thought it was a penalty. I know they called a lot of penalties but, from what I could see

(and remember) most if not all were the correct call.

    • I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.
    • Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.
    • What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
