What's this?

A few years ago, I developed a hypothesis that about half of all NFL


scoring drives of 50 yards or longer happen because of a downfield PI call, a personal foul negating a significant defensive play, or a ticky-tack defensive penalty on 3rd down that extends the drive.

I don't know if that means NFL defenses cheat a lot or if that means NFL offenses can't move the ball without help. Either way, the refs have a tendency to be involved in way too many touchdown drives.

On the winning drive, I remember actually thinking that the Rams moved the ball down the field all on their own and didn't need the refs help. Until....

  To me, it's more about the timing of the flags, not the infraction. -- Tank 02/14/2022 10:41AM
  Big miss call on the Higgins TD might have swayed some flags though -- 6thStreetHokie 02/14/2022 10:13AM
  And how many times did the Bungles fail in the final four minutes? O and D. ** -- BobG 02/14/2022 09:23AM
  3 of 7 ** -- hoosnowahokie 02/14/2022 09:03AM
  1 was the personal foul which was well deserved ** -- HokieJamie 02/14/2022 09:04AM
  Another pretty obvious shirt grab. Really CIN should've tackled, grabbed -- RhinoVT 02/14/2022 09:30AM
  And put more than 1 guy on him ** -- HokieJamie 02/14/2022 09:53AM
