Actually, we were #3 in NUMBER of penalties. IMHO, the biggest impact is WHEN the flags appear, which I’d wager we were #1 at.

This is a team problem, not officials. In other words, penalties were an issue throughout the season, and guess what, they cost big-time in the playoff. I am to believe these coaches didn't know the team was near the top of the league in penalties and didn't/couldn't get them fixed?

Coaches best teach better discipline and players be smart and concentrate better during games.
That will eliminate half of them.
Not going to eliminate them all the time.

it is the more critical times that really stands out of course.

Sorry, I’m not into stat research, but to anyone that is, can you find out who has the most flags that resulted directly in a loss?

It might be easier for some to accept that these highly paid, highly invested and highly experienced professionals are incompetent fools. It couldn’t POSSIBLY be the most polarizing, scrutinized team is also the most scrutinized by officials, could it? It’s kinda like the NBA…who do you think gets more leniency for fouls, Michael Jordan or Lebron (Brady, Rodgers), or Rasheed Wallace or Bill Lambeir (Dallas Cowboys)?
