The odds of two teams playing 18+ games in a season where they clearly demonstrate HOW they play and then suddenly in the playoffs becoming some undisciplined shit-show is just so damn remote.
They're going to play how they played all year. And if all season that yielded 7 flags a game then in the SB it yields 12...man, **** that. That's not a team that was committing more penalties, it's just a referee that's throwing more flags.
And yes, that's bad for the game.
These teams are what they are at this point. What 'could' be called but wasn't all season should have largely normalized over large numbers. And if suddenly all those 'could have been called but weren't' flags are being thrown, then the league has effectively altered the field on the fly. It simply creates bad football and an awful product.

No question. 100% agree. But a lot of flags unbiasedly and consistently applied is at least liveable. It's not optimal but it doesn't make me want to commit genocide. It sucks, but it's not the end of the world. I view it as a coach with too small of a strike zone. It sucks to deal with, but you have to adjust to it. It's going to be a ball all night long. It's the mother****er that strikes out your best hitter because he took one low and way outside. But walks some incredible baserunner on the other side when it's 8 inches further inside and at the knees.
I ****ING HATE one-sided dogshit. No matter the sport. I've played a shitload of basketball with truly garbage refs. I'm good if they're ticky tack all night long. It sucks and I'm not thrilled about it, but mother**** the ****s that are ticky tack for a quarter and rugby for the next or one team in the double bonus before the first PF on the other side.
**** I hate garbage officials.

Why is anybody torn up about this? We gotta make it to the Super Bowl before it's even a factor.

If the Chiefs aren't in it and Cheffers is officiating, I probably won't watch it. i didn't watch the one he did a week ago. **** Carl Cheffers.
