A disturbing statistical trend since the bye week.
Posted on 11/24/19 at 8:29 pm
Posted on 11/24/19 at 8:29 pm
The last three games since the bye have some eye opening statistics that are alarming.
Saints opponents have been awarded 16 first downs by penalty.
The Saints have been awarded only 2 first downs by penalty.
The numbers over 3 games should approach something close to a 50/50 split.
Of the 18 first downs awarded, Saints opponents have 89% of the first downs awarded by penalty.
In contrast, the Saints have been awarded only 11% of the first downs by penalty.
This anomaly cannot be explained away by anything other than that this trend is an intentional effort to slow down the Saints defense and give opponents offense more chances to score by continuing drives.
Saints opponents in this three game stretch have committed 17 penalties for 128 yards.
In contrast, the Saints have committed 33 penalties for 289 yards.
The Saints have twice the amount of penalties and twice the amount of penalized yards.
Over three games, the numbers should be more balanced.
The Saints are fortunate to have won 2 of 3 games with these type of handicaps.

Putting my tin foil hat on id love to know how Paytons saints faired penalty wise over his tenure. I think its probably been middle of the pack at worst.
You cant tell me we just became this undisciplined. We were not even penalized this much over the "bountygate" years

Alot of those penalties were bullshite. Today was such rigged bullshite it was not even disputable. Against Atlanta they called a bunch of hands to the face and holding that was severely suspect.

Yeah something is up.

The thing is even with this we're so good that we were actually able to win two of the three, shooting ourselves in the foot along the way.

This is surely a trend that cannot and will not continue. This is the first this has ever been a real problem for us that I can remember.
I mean some of them are warranted but it really is the only thing keeping us from absolutely destroying teams.

This shite is making me very nervous to play San Fran, and especially Green Bay in the playoffs because Green Bay gets more calls than just about any team in the league

Look at the teams we are next to on this list
I mean come on
Also take a look at the "beneficiary" calls
We are 2nd lowest in the league
31st in calls for us
8th in calls against us
Lowest net count in calls for/against in the entire NFL at -26
I really hate to even crack the door open to conspiracy shite, and that's not necessarily what I'm doing, but is it possible that human bias has crept into these officials minds when considering the backlash from last year's atrocity?

You can tell the defense has struggled once Lattimore got hurt.

In another thread, a poster mentioned that the NFL is a business and can control its product any way it likes, and mentioned the caveats on the actual tickets people buy.
Well, now that we have legalized gambling and huge amounts of revenue are moving according to game outcomes, doesn't that make game manipulation a crime?
