I simply want games to be called like the Super Bowl every time. They let the players play instead of swaying the game with a million flags.

Last four years average total penalties per regular season game is about 14.2.
Last four Super Bowls, penalties have been (13, 18, 12, 15) 14.5 average

Do you watch the games? It’s obvious you don’t.

Of course I do. But can't really argue with the stats, and they show that penalties are not up much. Going back 10 years or so, it's like 1 extra penalty per game.

That is surprising.. it seemed like the playoffs and super bowl had less penalties. Maybe better officiating crews just move through the penalties quicker so it slows the game down less.. :: shrug ::
