Giants rank 6th in net win probability from penalties

Giants need to pick better citizens, the cure all for the team's woes.

.

They actually gained from the officials?

And that's with that awful game-losing penalty on the late FG attempt?

Sheesh.

You'd never know reading the game threads...lots of crying going on about calls in there.

That the Giants got all this help from the refs and the Giants still sucked.

Amazing

The Cowboys and Buccaneers get a LOT of favorable calls.

Most of the penalties I see against those two teams are in situations where it doesn't matter.

IE - It's 3rd and 15 from the Buccaneers 12 yard line and they get called for a false start. Okay, they weren't doing anything on that drive anyway.

That sort of penalty.

Is strange about this metric, a lot of bad teams at the top, a lot of good teams at the bottom. This suggests some kind of artifact causing an inverse relationship between their metric and winning. It could be something like if your team is bad enough a penalty gives them a bigger boost than a team capable of doing it on their own. Or good teams are more aggressive and Hager more penalties? I don’t know, but it’s a strange one.

Somebody has to help.

Penalties are created equal. Some have a bigger impact on games won or lost. The offsides in the WFT game, the PI in the KC game led to two losses directly.

are in the play-offs.
