I have to agree with Watt and Matthews when it comes to how the rule is being determined. “Unfortunately this league’s going in a direction I think a lot of people don’t like. On Sunday, following the Packers’ loss to the Washington Redskins, Matthews was quoted in an article in saying: KEY: Num Number of Penalties, Yds Yards Penalized, DG Delay of Game, FS False Start, OH Offensive Holding, OPI Offensive Pass Interference, OFF Offsides, DH. Does not include declined or offsetting penalties. Figures include only enforced penalties during regular season games. Roughing the Passer calls are absolutely out of control. The following are the 2021 NFL Team Penalty statistics. Matt Nagy's offense reverted to its uninspiring ways of old for much of the first half. There is no way, with the size and speed of the athletes who play defense in the NFL, that they can stop on a dime and not make contact with the opposing quarterback in a physical manner. The Bears lost to the Steelers on Monday night thanks aplenty to their own doing. The officials are handing out penalty flags like they are passing out Halloween candy on trick-or-treat night.

Watt and others who disagree with how the roughing the passer penalties are being ruled have a legitimate argument and concern.


It is tough not to take the side of Watt on this one, and it is safe to say that most likely Clay Matthews of the Green Bay Packers agrees with Watt, as the past three weeks Matthews has been a big focal point of the roughing the passer penalties with three calls going against him.
