Warrior General Games

No, not in victories, but in penalties. We've increasingly shot ourselves in the foot with penalties, so I went back and counted them up for all League games. While at it, I compared to our opponent. We have had penalties than our opponent 12 times and have been tied twice. We've yet to play a penalty free game. This sucks.

I wish there was a stat for league leader. We have 45 penalties in league games.

I also wish there was a rhyme or reason to why penalties are called. I don't mean some BS about vision/confidence since it's yet to be proven. I had an OT last season with a ton of vision and confidence at level 14 in playoffs, and he got penalties. Anyone who plays us has a good chance to win because we are sure to kill at least 2 drives with penalties.

Anyone have more than 45?

We get a ton and it doesn't matter where you put points, just the luck of the roll I guess.

My favorite is when you're in the middle of a 40+ yard drive only to have the same guard or tackle get back to back false starts on 2nd and 3. Nothing like killing a drive at the opponents 30 yard line or closer.

Yeah the back to back penalties really suck, and it's always the same player.

Nothing like 1st & 20 or 1st & 25. Although that is slightly better than the 3rd & 1 becoming 3rd & 11

Seems like there are more penalties this season early on. Normally the penalty bug didn't hit us till playoff time!

Here are my 2 cents: With the nerfed passing, the O line is now really on edge because they just know that if there is even the slightest whiff of pressure, the QB will throw a wild one with no hope of a completion. So the big guys are on such a razor thin edge with hair trigger responses that they go with the tiniest provocation.

That's why penalties are up this season.

Okay, count your league penalties. I want to see if anyone can beat us.

Uncalled for!

I think it is the guys over 300lbs that keep getting penalty's on my team..........We are going to go with ALL under 300lbs next season.

We easily win the penalty race. I will get my calculator out after the last regular season game. Or higher a scout to count it.

I have a theory that penalties may be tied to stamina [as well as being random] (I have absolutely nothing to back that up other then a gut feeling).

We tried stamina, we tried vision, we tried confidence, its just random. The more offense you play the more likely to get them.

I have another theory ....its linked to forum posts!

The more positive and supportive of GLB your forum posts the less penalties you get, the more negative your forum posts the more penalties you get. I mean what else are penalties useful for!
