Around the NFL - 2019

[SD]

most penalties called thru week 8 since 2005

good job league

It's been bad but this year has been god awful. The calls in the secondary have been particularly bad. The inconsistency is frustrating.

[PhillyPhreak54]

It takes away from the enjoyment. They are over officiating it like crazy. And their fragile egos are hurt by the reviews so they refuse to reverse blatant calls they need to be reversed.

If they want to be flag happy they need to do away with PI as a spot foul. They also need to change the defensive penalties like hands to the face to avoid giving automatic first downs.

[SD]

It went from a slow steady downhill to a deep dive once they started the defensive holding in the secondary rule. A minor grab shouldn't warrant an automatic 1st down. They also need to ease up on PI's, unless the defender is blatantly interfering minor bumps and arms in places shouldn't be called.

Also the roughing the passer calls are laughable

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yep - agreed.

Any little contact is called which is stupid. And receivers are flopping. Pittsburgh did last night and they called it. And then you're farged because you know they won't over turn it.

The best part is they'll stop calling all that shtein once the playoffs start. Someone in the super bowl will get stabbed without a flag being thrown, and the game will be better for it.

And then the Saints will scream bloody murder. Their politicians will sue the league and next season they'll throw a flag on every single play.

I won't rest until the refs are equipped with gatling guns that fire 600 flags per second.

Seahawks got Josh Gordon off waivers. 

Do they announce who put in for a waiver pick up some time after the fact?

[General_Failure]

If the waiver team order from the reddits is accurate, Seattle is 28th on that list. The only other teams that could have made a claim would be Green Bay, San Fran, and New Orleans.

Is he healthy enough to play? Is he sober enough to play? Either way, I don't see him finishing the season. He'll definitely torch the farg out of the Eagles though.

Minshew is not, well, he's not good.

He's always been sober enough to play.
