JimBob2232 Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 #Werenumber1 Did some digging. According to the NFL.com, here are the records for team penalties in a season Most Penalties: 158 (1998 Chiefs) - 9.9 penalties per game Most Penalty Yards: 1,304 yards (1998 Chiefs) - 81.5 yards/game Current Bills Stats 124 Penalties (9.5/game) 1,086 yards (83.5/game) So if the bills only need 11.3 penalties per game to break the all time most penalized team. And they only need 218 penalty yards (72.7/game) to break the all time yardage penalty. We've acheved 70+ yards penalized 8 times this season. Wow.
WotAGuy Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Finally! Something we can all rally behind and root for!
PearlHowardman Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 I didn't realize they were in such bad company in the first place. No one on the Buffalo Bills sidelines knows how to coach a NFL team on game day.
JimBob2232 Posted December 14, 2015 Author Posted December 14, 2015 Okay...so the NFL website is bunk. It hasn't been updated since 2007! Why would you need updated numbers?! http://www.nfl.com/history/randf/records/team/penalties Wikipedia says the seahawks hold the record for penalty yards 1,415 in 2013, and the Raiders had 163 penalties in 2011. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_National_Football_League_records_%28team%29#Penalties Still....there is a chance!
WotAGuy Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Again! Facts. What have we learned about facts on this board?
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 I bet they have like zero penalties in their last game, just to break our hearts.
spillerhighlife Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 I bet they have like zero penalties in their last game, just to break our hearts.In true bills fashion.
RussellDopeland Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 We need this record! The banner unveiling before the opener next year would be heartwarming
WotAGuy Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Can't wait to see the yellow flag up on The Wall of Fame
Prickly Pete Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Kelly the Dog? GreggyT (Deranged Rhino)?...I bickered with a few people here early in the season about this. I have to believe that penalties have cost them at least a couple games this season. Rex Ryan creates a loose atmosphere wherever he goes, and should not be a head coach. They need to bring in some assistants that are detail oriented ball busters to make up for the laxity of Rex Ryan, because they aren't going to fire Ryan.

I'll go out on a limb and say they fall short of the record. Next week will be like, 7 penalties.
Big Turk Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Lol...well, they must really have their eyes set on that record...15 of them today
Fixxxer Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 and the repeated offenders are the best players on the team. Hughes and Dareus, someone needs to sit down with them and try to help them, those pre-snap penalties are inexcusable.
