I'd love to see that website.

We're only 3rd worst now.  We've evened out since the beginning of the year.  After the Tennessee game I think we were around -15.  Early in the season it was preposterous how few calls were made against New England and Tennessee.  Although looking at these numbers maybe that makes sense as they have the fewest penalties called on them during the year.

Would also be interesting to see these by referee groups.  Are Tennessee and New England really that much more disciplined?  Could be based on their coaches.

Some of that can be determined by the pre-snap penalty flags. This implies false start or illegal formation. Of those, KC is one of the worst in the league. They have 31 to our 19. This would contribute to why they are so high on the list. If you normalize KC's pre-snap penalties, they drop significantly. It  would appear to be a race between Jax and Green Bay (which I never would have guessed). When you look at net difference, it's Jax and GB, then everyone else (-18 and -21 respectively). Green Bay has had -308 to the Jags -259 in terms of yards penalized (again, if you normalize for KC's pre-snap count penalties), the next closest team is -159. 

Unlike GB, Jags have the biggest discrepancy when it comes to unnecessary roughness. We have been called 8 times for 110 yards, as opposed to 4 times for us for 31 yards. I would have thought we'd rank higher on DPI. There is a lot of ways to break down that data more specifically, but I was just looking at the generalized data right now. Maybe I'll get into the details later. I'd really like to see when the penalties are called.
