With 102 penalties. Only Indy had less (97). Carolina was 3rd (108). Credit to Shurmur? Hopefully this continues under Judge. We had at least 1 positive this past year folks... lol
when the opposing receivers are yards away and wide open from our young drafted CBs, or when opposing pash rushers are running basically untouched passed our tackle that was signed to a monster contract.
A low number of penalties certainly doesn't always indicate a well coached or good team.
and a fundamentally sound team. However, we know these were not traits of the last several Giants teams. So, I attribute this to a very aggressive team or a fluke.
playing safe and being aggressive when it comes to borderline penalties..
hit enter before finishing my thought..but my point is maybe trying to get away with PI, holds a little more often isn't always a bad thing..
Very good point. I'll bet some of the best defenses this past year had a decent amount of PI called. But its similar to Gretzkys you miss 100% of the shots you dont take; make a play and see if they call PI instead of getting burnt.
Another note though, it didn't FEEL like we were the second least penalized. Maybe its because they'd get them at the worst time, like 3rd and 10 and we take a holding call on D or 3rd and 2 and we take a holding call on O.;)

Agreed. I remember cheering when our db got a PI flag...ecstatic that he was close enough to draw one.

agreed
Who needs actual wins when we continue to dominate these important statistical categories!
