Interesting stats on the OFFICIATING crew for SB46

[TuckYou]

With an assist from ESPN Stats & Information, I've put together a chart showing where Parry's crew ranks among the 17 crews in various penalty calls. The NFL shifts to all-star crews for championship games and the Super Bowl.

Parry's low ranking for unnecessary roughness appears offset, at least somewhat, by a higher number of calls for generic personal fouls.

Parry is the official for the superbowl, and here is what I get from this:</P>


Offensive Holding calls he ranks 3rd. Does this benefit the Giants fast DEs vs the Pats Oline?</P>


Offsides and Facemasks his crew ranks #1.</P>


Roughing the passer he ranks 4th. Does this favor the Pats and Brady getting protected?</P>

I feel like unless its blatant they wont call it. Brady wont look like a little ***** at the superbowl I dont think.

[kory da man]

He not a good ref

[Mohann]

Number one in offsides penalties? Unless the ref is using a hard count I don't think that means anything.

[M0rbid]

LOL Of course, of all the officials they had to choose him. He's going to have a field day calling offsides and encroachment.
