Wow, so only an average of once per game. It sure felt like more than that.
The calls that drive me nuts are the illegal blocks in the back. They seem to happen almost every single damn return. The officials call these infractions every time, so why do the players keep committing the same dumb mistakes over and over? If you're blocking someone in the back, he's already past you anyway. Instead of trying to be a hero and potentially sabotaging a 50-yard run, let the guy go so your returner can do his job.
It drove me nuts all the times we saw returns out to midfield brought back inside the 20 because of yet another dumb penalty. I think our return yardage would be twice or three times our current totals were it not for all the illegal blocks in the back.
