kwc Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 31 total penalties called against both teams. Wow! 31 is. Lot! I don't know how many were thrown in the Whitehaven/Hamilton game, but I wouldn't be surprised if we exceeded that number! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottomwriter Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 I think they resurrected that awful crew from the 2011 playoff game with Northeast that flagged HC 17 times. Three of which were offsides on WRs that asked if they were lined up correctly and several late ones following scores or long gains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I truly think that age and lack of mobility and too much girth is hurting our officials. They just aren't able to keep up with the speed of the players now. The game is so very fast with the read option that so many teams run. Just a thought on my part as I watch the line judge tonight not bend over to spot the ball but instead would drop it from a standing position. His belly seemed to be getting in his way.

Other than being able to reach into their back pockets conditioning seemed to be a problem for a couple of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
