I don't mind a lot of flags. There is a LOT of blatant shit that they let go in every game, and the really big ones, sure throw the flag, I won't bitch. But what really grinds my ****ing gears are 2 things.
1. Not calling it for both sides. How the **** can this be a thing?
2. Call ticky tack shit while letting blatant shit, out in the open, ****ing go.
GOD that shit pisses me the **** off.
I don't mind a lot of calls, if they're competent.

The problem I have is when flags start flying out of proportion to norms.
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.
