What's the one thing that sets you off? Your #1 pet peeve

[MWH1967]

Most of us have followed professional football for while now. So, there is a large body of work to pick from.

What's the one thing that sets you off?.

Example; Lets take driving for example. I'm not perfect and neither is anyone else. We are human and make mistakes. I'm older so, i forgive for the most part...except for one.

You just can't pass me and then make me slow down suddenly so you can turn off...(that's the worst for me)

So, in our sport...if you cover it all from start to finish....what is your..."you just can't?"

1. You just can't.....call PI a spot foul any longer. it gives teams new life. that's mine.

You can't treat a qb like fine China yet allow him on the football field.

1st,2nd or 3rd down and 6+.... 2 yard route to witten for ..?


2yards...

Let's stick with the bad driving theme. On the highway:
The Left Lane is for Passing only !!!!!

3rd down and you execute a pass play a yard or two short of the first down marker. This became a staple of Chan Gailey's offense and its driven me crazy every since.

knowing that teams know our playbook as well as your offense (see Philly game)

It takes almost no effort to click your turn signal on...come on people!!

I'm sick of automatic reviews. I literally cannot stand them. They slow games down and it's basically a Zapruder-esque frame-by-frame investigation looking for reasons to negate a play.

What is actually left for coaches to challenge? Ball positioning and early whistles?

I think the setup sucks for automatic review on scores and turnovers.

Questionable catch in the endzone will get automatically reviewed. Same catch at the 2 yard line won't.

Possible fumble that gets blown dead doesn't get automatically reviewed, but the same situation without an early whistle will be reviewed.

Big plays are big plays. Either have the booth handle all reviews like they do in the 2-miniute warning, or have the booth handle none of the reviews except for the 2-minute warning and coaches handle the rest.

Not being able to review penalties, especially the game changing ones.

Fans thinking we would roll over teams like washington because they suck and Philly because they are overrated when this team rolls over no one and has an equally unimpressive resume.

3rd and 2 and the play call is 5 WR shotgun

The league has become flag happy. The first thing I do when a play is successful is look for a flag/hold my breath waiting for one to come.

Stupid penalties. The vast majority of penalties could be avoided. It does not matter whether they are committed at the high school, college or professional league. Penalties slow, stall or kill your team's drives and sometimes benefit your opponents'. The one that pisses me off the most happens after a play is over. Players are human but they (including the best in the game) perform sometimes like they are brain dead. Wish we could give more than one pet peeve. I would talk about player execution (lack of, that is) as my next biggest pet peeve...

Zampese and Coslett were doing it too...

Oh yeah. One of my biggest non-football pet peeves are drivers traveling in the passing lane who do not actually pass drivers traveling in the slow lane. Some drivers seem to thrive on creating traffic. They position their vehicles in the passing lane and keep pace with the slow lane like they're driving Miss Daisy to a picnic. What is more irritating is whenever you have the opportunity to actually pass them in the slow lane, look over, and American Creeper stares back at you like you're the problem instead of them. Incredible.

Pre-snap penalties, but especially those by WRs and TEs. WHY are you moving before the ball is snapped, if it's not a motion play?

 

[remdak]

Blocks in the back and holding on punt/kickoff returns

 

[cowboys1981]

3rd and 3 on defense and CB's play 8-10 yards off.
