Penalty question...

[DCH]

How in God's name do you have multiple false starts in your own building?

The real question is, what's the NFL average for home-team false starts per game? Anyone know?

Don't know! All a part of the crappy oline play yesterday, I suppose! All vets too!

You have multiple false starts when you're not pass blocking or run blocking as well as needed and you think you need to get a bigger edge.

Having a different QB hurts a bit - different cadence - different rhythms - but we know that isn't entirely it. This has been going on for years. YEARS.

Good damn question! And good observation that this is as veteran a group as we have so it cant be sluffed off as rookie mistakes.

Here's one that I still don't understand. They called defensive illegal contact down field on Quick, but because the ball was all ready in the air they picked the flag up. So if the ball is in the air... Wouldn't it then be pass interference. Instead it's nothing? I truly do not understand that call... If someone has some insight, please enlighten me.

2013- Average overall 16.56 False Start penalties per team league wide
275 *at home*, 255 away.

So, counter-intuitive result of more at home. That's surprising.

Rams were actually less than average last year, 7 at home, 7 on road.

That's quite surprising. Thanks!

Still, though... roughly one per game on average, and we had 3 yesterday. That hurts a lot. That's the kind of shit that's demoralizing.

(Also getting a Minnesota false start called as a Chris Long offsides... bullshit)

I do think this has a lot to do with it. I saw a couple of the offensive linemen (Joseph and Barksdale) show some frustration and it was 'indirectly' pointed at Davis... They were looking at the sidelines with their hands up, shaking their heads... I think it had a lot to do with the different cadence and unfamiliarity with a different guy under center.

Yeah, only Dallas was worse due to the rule that any team playing the 49ers has to automatically shove their heads up their ass and let them win.

The only thing I could figure is that the ball was over thrown so far they deemed it uncatchable. For me it comes back to the zebras being too active in the game and wrs begging for penalties. There isn't a guy on that defense who could cover Quick yesterday, he should have had 20 targets and 2 or 3 TDs

I think that was a real possibility if Hill stayed on the field
