Penalties a major problem

Chief X_Phackter · 10-19-2006, 06:56 PM

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?

Chief X_Phackter · 10-19-2006, 07:23 PM

Sad but true.

Frustration, Frustration, Frustration!! Typical behavior of teams many times when things are not going well.

Have you ever been able to complete a post without the F word? It must be tough posting with such a limited vocabulary.

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

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.

I don't agree that you do that on purpose. Being physical is one thing, but you don't purposely head hunt with the intention of injuring someone and getting a penalty to send a message. That's not a smart way to play the game.

That being said, I think Sean Taylor has got a bad rap so far this season because of his past. The personal fouls I've seen him get this year were pretty ticky tack if you ask me.

Well I'm not saying a helmet to helmet hit. I'm saying a hard, clean tackle/hit. Not like an out of bounds hit. But a Ronnie Lott type hit, knowing that with ST's rep he'll probably get that 15-yarder; deserved or not.
