4th least penalties per game, 6th least penalty yards per game.

    It’s politics. Mark Davis is a friend to the League, unlike Al. Now that they are in Vegas, we have the NFL behind us.

      Mark is letting Gruden use his lawyers to sue the NFL, so I’m not sure how much they see him as a friend. If anything, the league probably feels less threatened by Mark because compared to Al, Mark is kind of a dingus lol

    It felt to me like the refs were hammering on the Jets for a bunch of bullshit. Same in the Lions game… it’s been weird on the other side.

      The refs were trying to finely tune this game it’s obnoxious. Even stood in the way of Crosby’s potential game ending sack. It’s fuckin Sunday Night bro, they have to make the game somewhat interesting or lose money. Period.

      I think he hammered down on it so hard that our guys were afraid to actually play hard.

      For example: I’d prefer we get more DPIs than average if playing closer/more physical generated 2-3 turnovers per game. If we’re playing to avoid penalties then we’re just gonna get exploited.

      There is an incredibly fine line to this though.

    McDaniels did make them run for penalties while he was here. I guess just 95% of it was bad.

    Welp, there goes our season. The rest of the year is going to be the most penalized in 7 games of all time.

    That’s been the biggest treat for me this season besides many of our defensemen learning how to tackle. It has been such a delight watching the other team shoot its own dick off every third play. The ones we get are almost always poorly timed, but we get so few of them that I persevere.

    I will give this an upvote! Not a stat I usually expect from the Raiders, but fuck yeah!

    AP is great but let’s not act as though EVERYTHING the Pats regime brought in was garbage. I love the discipline to play smart. Truly 4D chess by Mark Davis to temporarily hire those Pats guys to steal what is good and discard what sucks about their processes.
