Gugny Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 This actually surprised me, as I don't feel like they've been flagged a ton in most games this season. I was REALLY (not really) shocked to see that New England has the fewest penalties in the league. A lot of other playoff teams are right up there with the Bills, so I'm not quite sure exactly what it means. Just found it interesting. https://www.footballdb.com/stats/penalties.html?sort=numpen https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/penalties-per-game
Saxum Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 I am not surprised for Bills are flagged for plays other teams are not. i usually look at this site: https://www.nflpenalties.com/ https://www.nflpenalties.com/team/buffalo-bills?year=2020 I think it has info football DB does not have including ref crew. My observations: White seemed to be rusty at start of year and he resorted to grabbing sometimes. He has cleaned it up. I noticed is that Lee Smith is blocking differently than he did last year and has gotten no penalties. His critics who said he gets 2 per game (never on average) are as bad as Josh Allen's critics. Special teams are better avoiding penalties this year which is partly why Roberts is doing better. Lack of time in preseason really hurt Offense line and that was compounded by injuries forcing rotations and Spain crash. 1
Buddo Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 My impression recently, is that there have been fewer of the more irritating types, especially the pre-snap variety. There have been some fairly bogus ones, but also the oddball facemask by our starting QB on opposing D-Line. I don't suppose there have been too many of those, ever.
RiotAct Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 seems like we had a 3-game stretch where we had first-and-goal from inside the 10, and then in the blink of an eye it was 1st-and-goal from the 30. Still, I would have thought we would be somewhere in the middle of the pack, not 5th most.
BuffaloBill Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 The Bills had a lot of penalties and they came at in opportune times.Josh Allen’s play has masked many of them. 1
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 I feel like most of these were compiled on the drive where Josh rhetorically asked the heavens how many times the Bills would have to score touchdowns on the same drive https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/bills-josh-allen-touchdown-passes-broncos-penalties/p32p8kh9b4x81w6fgr6eudbpj

Refs have been brutal all year long.

When I saw the title of your post, it definitely surprised me. Besides a couple games, we’ve seemed pretty clean this year.
Don Otreply Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 We are higher than I thought we would be, but I did notice that it doesn’t matter when you’re winning... 😁👍 1
Rc2catch Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 I’m actually not surprised. We seemed to gather them in bunches at times.
First Round Bust Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) the Tenn and KC games were the worst for flags as several were unsportsmanlike-frustration flags and the Denver game had several O-line flags in the 3rd and 4th quarters where we had points taken away...Josh was heard on a field mike saying..."so how many time we gotta score "? I noticed Morse and Ike B (G) getting flagged grabbing DL jersey as Josh is about to pass that lineman; seems like a reaction to wanting to protect Josh who either would have escaped or ran by the linemen or at the worst been tacked near the LOS. Then there is the dreaded hit on the qb foul where we seem to not pull-up or lunge at his legs trying to make a play/sack And yes we have been one of the top teams for penalties during the McClappy era Edited January 2, 2021 by First Round Bust sp
JDubya76 Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 (edited) 3rd most penalty yards in the league makes the clutch offensive statistics look even more impressive. 3rd down conversion, 1st downs per play, 4th down per game, time of possession and punts per game. On average they had to overcome over 62 yards per game and still produced at a very efficient level. Edited January 3, 2021 by JDubya76
MJS Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 It means there is no correlation (and never has been) of penalties with winning football games.
Billzgobowlin Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 Extremely inconsistent calls in Bills games. I'm not sure the quality control around the league but holding never happens on anybody guarding Jerry Hughes but Boettger's holds were nothing.
MrSarcasm Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 Interesting... all the bills games I've seen this year seemed low in penalties. It must mean penalties as a whole are down this year. I do find it very very odd that a heavy run team such as the Patriots are so low in penalties. Maybe I'm wrong but offensively speaking, I feel that if you run the ball more you would get more penalties.
