Where is the awareness of the actual player to know, "Hey, it's late game here. No bullshit. A penalty kills us here".

Instead of going out, pushing, shoving a guy well beyond the legal 5 yard barrier and crying when his foul gives the opponent the first down.

This is a coaching moment. The Eagles had one at the end of the Superbowl, the Jets had theirs last night, KC had ours with Dee Ford in 2018.

I don't remember too many fans upset with the refs for flagging Ford for lining up wrong. I blamed the player that committed the foul for the foul.

The idea that penalties shouldn't be called late in a tight game is ludicrous.

Raise your level of play late in games, and when your teammate gets a game changing INT, the opposition won't be handed a fresh set of downs because you shit yourself when the lights got bright.

on the dee ford thing I recall someone at the time saying a lot of times the refs will kind of let a player know they're offsides and give them a chance to correct it before throwing a flag. that poster got roasted for it in the gameday thread if i recall correctly
