Penalties seem to even out over the course of a season. The instant-replay stats are another story. We're noticing that some crews get challenged much more frequently than other crews. We're noticing that some crews get overturned much more frequently than others. It could be that these crews make more mistakes, or that the referee is more honest about what he sees during a replay, or both, or neither. Walt Coleman's crew has been challenged 22 times, compared to only 10 times for Tony Corrente's crew. Full league-wide officiating breakout is below.

Note that the numbers along the left margin, outside the chart, show how many Seattle games each referee has worked this season.

12 18 2006 Coach Replay Challenges Thru Week 15.jpgNow we take a look at the coach-initiated replay records by team and coach. Dick Jauron and Romeo Crennel need some help. Note that Mike Holmgren has the second-fewest challenges of any coach (three). He has learned his lesson, apparently.

the bit about corrente calling more penalties isn't relevant. coaches don't challenge penalties, they challenge judgements of fumbles, catches and placement. there shouldn't be any correlation between penalties called and challenges or reversals.

That is absolutely true. It must be getting late.

What happened the past two weeks in the NFL? I watched a number of games this weekend and all of a sudden the flags for holding on offensive linemen is NOT being called anymore. I hope the Seahawk's coaches have noticed the same thing and allows our guys to clutch on a little more than usual.

The Philly game was particularly obvious but last night's MNF was also obvious. (If I didn't know better, I'd think the officials wanted the Giants and Colts to win those games.) Other game where it was pretty obvious was the Denver-AZ game.

I know they want to protect the QB but come on already, you can't let the o-line hold, too.
