DMN Burnett Blog: Time to hit the eye-opening button

by Kevin Burnett

Before I say too much I want to watch the film first. One thing does remain constant; penalties will cost you football games.

No it's not time to hit the panic button it is time to hit the eye-opening button; 34 penalties in the last three games. Also you have to note in every 100 yards of offense a team should score 7 points. The same goes with penalties for every 100 yards in penalties, you can expect a team to score 7 points.

If we want to win we have to A. stop the penalties of and B. score 50 points per game. Here is what makes matters worse I would guess more than half are non aggressive penalties (before or after the play).
