26 penalties last night tied last years total already

When we are talking about officials the day after a game.....something wrong.

If the League office and 32 owners aren't concerned about their on field product after watching that game last night, then there's something seriously wrong!

Last night was pretty bad...

NFL needs to get control of this... this isn’t exciting football and having quite a few more games like this during the season will turn a lot of people off

 

[Blue&Silver]

The first few games of the year are usually ugly especially the first one. It's not only the teams that need to get into a rhythm so do the refs.

Inconsistent officiating is clearly a huge problem in the NFL, and there were plenty of crap calls last night, but that was a really sloppy game by both teams. Most of those penalties were deserved.

Was hoping for 30 penalties last night. The penalties slowed down when I started rooting for more of them.

 

[School]

Games where both teams had 11+ penalties

2017: 0/256
2018: 1/1

 

[Clove]

The game is about the refs now.

 

[tm1119]

There were a handful of bad calls as usual but overall I think it was just sloppy football.
On the positive side, the helmet rule everyone was freaking out about wasn’t an issue

Did anyone else think that was a catch by Jones.

It definitely was. He cradled it on his shoulder well before going out of bounds. I'm not biased as a Julio Jones fantasy owner or anything though.

Atlanta was screwed, and that changed the entire game. Then again, Atlanta gave that game away on many other opportunities as well.

 

[Doomsday101]

sorry outside of the roughing the passer where Long landed on top of the QB most of the calls were holds, illegal blocks, off sides or illegal contact. I put that on the players not the refs.

 

[Aviano90]

Took one game for a catch controversy? I love it. Love it, love it, love it.

I agree that was a close but bad call and should have been ruled a catch.

Their DBs need to get on the Jugs machine. There were several passes that should have been intercepted. I really hope that all the work our guys have put in on turnovers pays off.

That call was terrible

Same with the roughing the passer on Foles. When the defender used his weight to take him down lmao

The penalties were a problem, but the biggest problem for the viewer was that both teams sucked.

 

[John813]

Makes sense it would be Miami vs Tampa for most penalties last year.

Two Superbowl contenders from the NFC combining for the same amount of penalties?
That's troubling

As long as the Eagles look that bad in all their games, but lose most of them, that is fine. Atlanta and some officiating gave them that game.
Hope it is not a sign that the Eagles will get all the calls their way this year.
