Message: [QUOTE="Orangeman, post: 2875599, member: 972"] They got you, I've gone through the data, this is what the NFL/Patriots want you to believe. Don't go through the NFL Penalty data with a strategic vision if you want to remain sane. Reality is, the Patriots have been called for ZERO Offensive Holding penalties in the 1Q in 18 games this season. They've been allowed to get off to a fast start. 8 OH penalties in the 2Q, BUT, two of them were on STs and three were not accepted because other flags were thrown...so, that's 3 Offensive Holding penalties in 18 games in the 1H. They were flagged 9 times in the 3Q, and 6 in the 4Q...only 3 of those mattered in games where the score was in doubt (Pittsburgh 2x, etc). The rest were thrown in games that were long over or at least a two-scre lead in the 2H. Good, well-coached team and they deserve a lot of credit, but there's not nothing going on there... [/QUOTE]
