Here's to a few offsides penalties against the Vikings at key times. 🙂

I like this comment, and sometimes I wish coaches (My focus is squarely on the Packers since that's all the NFL football I watch anymore) and players would adapt better to how games are being called. This is usually most prevalent in terms of pass interference - If they're throwing flags every single time you brush up against someone, play off more. If they're letting people go at it so long as it doesn't get out of hand, play closer and be more physical. In a perfect universe every crew would call things the same, but these are human beings. Even if every single play were reviewed for potential penalties, it would vary. It's on the coaches and players to adapt, all assuming that the crew is calling the game the same in the 4th as in the 1st.

I hate having Triplette doing Packer games. He is the worst ref in the league, IMO.

Consistency and the number of calls BOTH matter, Pereira! The fact that Triplette and gang call five more a game may mean they are consistently making more mistakes, too.

Let's face it. Our QB is a stat whore who always wants to chuck it deep, and our CBs are struggling. These refs will be to our advantage.

I have never liked to see Triplette's crew officiate a Packers game.
That being said, I hope this isn't a "flagfest" that takes the fun out of watching the game.
This is one of the issues driving me away from NFL football.

It doesn't say, but like most penalty stats, I'm assuming these are accepted penalty stats. Which if it is the case, just as easily could be worse for Rodgers and the Packers. Triplett's crew numbers are pretty much in line for False Starts, they pull ahead on defensive off sides. For the defensive penalty to be assessed, it means either they blew the play dead, or the offense didn't gain enough yards on the free play. If they are blowing more plays dead that isn't something Rodgers is going to be happy with, he wants the free plays.

I cant think off hand of plays where a flag was thrown for offside or false start where there wasn't a player moving before the snap, which means the flags are pretty much correct. I can see a debate between whether it was offense or defense but that doesn't change the combined number. So if anything the other crews that call fewer are helping the other teams.
