Do you have access to PFF?

I do.
I looked, they're really not that bad; in fact they're pretty good. Both of my tackles are plus penalty players, as are Sullivan and Lance Louis. None of my guys play out of position. Lichtensteiger's a bit penalty prone, but that doesn't explain the other 4 guys committing as many as they have.
And like I said, I've had shit like 3 delay of game penalties from Aaron Rodgers in a single home game.
This last game really did just flat piss me off but there's no sense in bitching about it. The penalties were wildly disproportionate (10/110 vs. 3/25) and a bunch of them were on guys that are not penalty prone. On what was a huge drive, I get holding on Sullivan, holding on Costanzo and a false start on Dez Bryant (I think that's his 4th false start this year...as a ****ing WR. Find me a WR w/ 4 false start penalties in the NFL last year); 25 yards in penalties in a drive that stalled on High Points 41. On High Point's first TD drive I had
5 penalties called against me, 2 of which were declined.
In 3 weeks I've had 26 penalties accepted against me vs.
eight by my opponents. Really? Sorry, but there's no way that makes any sense. My guys are not that penalty prone and my team has enough skill on it that it would logically
force penalties to be called in their favor. My DEs are penalty neutral, my DTs are penalty plus yet every game my DL is good for 3 personal fouls. Pollards had some penalties against him but I'm fine with those; I knew what that guy was (same with DRC). Brown's below average but he's getting
killed and that doesn't explain Jackson, who's another plus penalty player that's good for a flag every game.
I'll live, there's no money on the line. At the same time, it's getting damn frustrating watching a team that should be at the very worst neutral (and I don't even buy that) having 3 times the penalties go against them than for them.
