Penalties a major problem
 

How about this stat:

Washington is 29th overall in number of penalties on offense, and 32nd overall in penalty yards assessed on offense.

Washington is 28th overall in number of penalties on defense, and 31st overall in penalty yards assessed on defense.

Hard to win like that.

If those stats are true then that is just a complete joke. What is wrong with this team?

Sad but true.

Hard to win? Try next to fucking impossible.....

Re: Penalties a major problem
 

With the yardage our defense is giving up, having those stats is a recipe for a disastrous 4-12 season! HAIL from MCUSA!

im just as surprised as Crat............WOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!!! how is that possible?

Re: Penalties a major problem
 

Well per my earlier post, penalties don't always correlate with wins/losses. I also think that a penalty every now and then actually helps. Like I said before, it's a risk giving up the 15-yard penalty but I'd love to see Taylor (or whoever) start the game off with a hard hit over the middle just to send the message that we won't be pushed over.

Somehow I'm sure Brunell and Archuleta are to blame.

Re: Penalties a major problem
 

reminds me of the 2000 year. make the playoffs in 99, spend like crazy.. easy training camp...undesciplined... lots of penalties...no chemistry....QB controversy....average season.

make the playoffs 05...spend like crazy...easy training camp...undesciplined....lots of penalties...no chemistry...QB controversy...maybe less than average season.

take one step forward, 3 steps back.

We come together cause opposites attract. And you know....it ain't fiction, just a natural fact. We come together cause opposites attract. Sigh....Paula

Anyhow, I could be mistaken but I think we're improving in the penalties category after that disastrous Cowboys game
