Not a lot has been said this year about the discipline that has been shown on the field by this football team.

Last year we were middle of the pack. In 2011 we were at the bottom of the barrel. We bitched, whined, pointed fingers. But now, now that we haven't been giving up free yardage, just like the absence of penalties, there has been an absence of praising ol' Ron's improvement in this area.

Here's a link showing penalty stats for the last 6 years or so:

You can manipulate it any way you like, so I didn't want to put "least penalized team" outright, but we are definitely at the top of the NFL.

If we keep this up, the wins should start coming.

Cheers

And they probably have the most penalties and general fug ups on special teams. Those insane running out of bounds penalties were ridiculous. That shouldn't be a rule.

Yep.

What blows my mind is our players have been hit by the punt TWICE in 3 games causing a change in possession. Twice! That's cray.

Without it a player could run untouched out of bounds down the sideline and make every special teams punt tackle tackle.

i thought we'd have a whole lot more offensive holding and defensive PIs by now.

Hey if you just jinxed us I'm going to have a hot air balloon made in the likeness of Alicejandra and I'm going to find out where you live, hover over your house, and drop leaflets in your lawn that contain Alice's best quotes on fashion advice, dieting tips, and advice on spending way too much on tie-dye Air Jordan's.

The main issue for me, is that our penalties always seem to come at the worst possible times. Luke's BS PI call in Buffalo for instance.  The lack of penalties should be applauded, but in crunch time it's almost as if everyone from RR on down the chain goes full retard.

 

However, maybe it's just me remembering some games incorrectly

teams may start intentionally kicking short.....takes Ginn out of a return and potential for clusterflucks

Yeah, there still have been some huge, game-changing penalties. One, at least, directly resulted in us not winning the game. BUT even with these horrible decisions, we have still lost 2 games by only a COMBINED 6 points. Not too shabby, eh?

Everyone's so rosy around here lately, just thought I would follow suit.

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room (behind him anyway). Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
