It does seem that the Refs are out of control with the flags this year...
They are, and you can than the competition committee and the cheese and wine crowd for that
I don't remember any. He looked good to me and the penalties were awful calls.Was he even thrown at in his 41 snaps?
Quite seriously, the only way to combat these imaginary penalties is to get a lead then start laying out every receiver, penalty or not until the refs are horrified.
I alluded to a true Dave Cowens story where he complained about ticky tack fouls on him and other Celtics to no avail. Next time down the court, he leveled a guy, shot his hand up immediately and said, "now that's a foul." (before flagrant fouls). Lay a few guys out legally (no cheap shot) then reduce it to normal level and dare the refs to throw a flag on every play.
Hell, all Browner would need to do is what he's been getting away with for Seattle, then dial it down a notch.
This... And if/when we reach the playoffs, his type of play will pay dividends. Across sports, when you get to the important games, the refs don't want to be the ones deciding the games and it boggles the mind that the excuse "let them play," is accepted. If the pats had been hitting guys in the mouth instead of worrying about laundry on the field, we might have put down the Giants both times... And this is coming from someone who has whined about the Tyree play. It's almost a disadvantage that Belichick coaches against committing penalties so well. You don't want to be too reckless, but maybe there's a happy medium between that and being a bunch of choir boys.
Browner is going to get penalized. Get used to it. His style of play will cause him to be called a lot for defensive holding or hits passed the 5 yard mark. That's fine. As we saw on Thursday, he is a fine, fine corner.
It may be early for us to claim to have the best corner duo in the NFL. I'm not sure that we should want to trade this pair for any other in the league.
And we have more. Dennard is a fine starter. Arrington is one of the best nickel backs in the league, and he was benched!
true, but the pink shirts are the ones that want to see t-downs,Actually, you can thank the forehead's ineptness in the postseason for that.

Yes, and perhaps even moreso, the fantasy football types. There is a lot of money to be made off of that.
