---------------------------------
General conclusions, while pass interference calls are down leaguewide,
this crew has called has called few, on average less than two a game.
I don't know the average of false starts leaguewide but watching this crew it seems that they call it alot. It could also be the caliber of team they are officiating.
This is from a quick scanning of the numbers and I'm sure if I went back and
triplechecked the numbers would be tweaked....
Does it mean anything for tonight? Maybe, maybe not...
