Troy Brown - Polian presence effects refs

Troy put a spotlight on this before the game, which helped make it a fairly called game.

Yes, thank god for Troy Brown. Pats didn't play smart football or anything like that. Good thing someone no longer with the teams points out something that almost nobody picked up because of how stupid it sounds.

Where would we be without him helping us out today.

Colts 5.2 penalties per game ... 4th lowest this year.

Colts opponent penalties per game is 6.3 ... 18th highest.

Seems to close to say what Troy said for this year anyways.

Colts are penalized 47 yards per game ...

Colts opponents are penalized 51.6 yards per game.

I could post others there but there is simply not any data to prove Troy's point.

Too many people on these forums think they are refs, or better than the refs. It's awfully easy to find this stuff watching replays that are slowed to half speed and zoomed in. The game on the field isn't that slow and you cant challenge a penalty.



There might be a point if the Colts had their own personal refs that did each and every game with them, but there isn't some conspiracy about every ref in the league working for them, or the colts wouldn't be 6-4, and in second place in the division.
