I didn't even think it was possible to accomplish zero penalties. And no the offsetting one with the Eagles shouldn't count.

I think the NFL situation is worse than the NBA since the officiating plays such an outsized role in the outcome. Officiating in every sport is bad from time to time but the extreme litigious nature of the NFL refs combined with the inconsistency and constant shifting of goalposts makes it almost impossible to enjoy games without noticing their impact.

The Colts and Dolphins were both jobbed hard.

Well I'll disagree about NBA refereeing, I think it's the worst of any major sport by far and often seems outright crooked.
But I hate how inconsistent NFL officiating is. I've complained ad nauseum about the sheer number of penalties... It's pathetic to have a flag every third or fourth play, and to have to wait several seconds for a flag before you can even enjoy a big play.
Hopefully that Eagles stat of zero penalties is so egregious that it gets plenty of attention and embarrasses the league at least a little.

Yea the league never really cares unless it becomes a public outroar, and at this point I think most fans just watch casually for fantasy/betting purposes and don't really give a shit beyond that.
The lack of caring about the actual sport will only further bastardize it as the league looks to cater to the masses.

OMG, it's the league-wide officiating conspiracy fever dream. Quick! Get out the tin-foil hats!
And y'all should be careful what you post on this board. The league is watching, listening, taking notes.

Not sure what tin foil has to do with calling out officiating as awful. But ok, good one. Someone who believes a team having no penalties is "normal" might be the crazy one.

What a limp dick, piece of shit. A ball-less, soul-less thing to do.

It would be nice if the league was listening. Tell them to listen to Twitter.

All they need to do to address many of the issues is hire fulltime, dedicated refs. That would help a lot.

Could you imagine if we got to play a big game with zero penalties? It would completely shift the game easily in our favor.
