I don't know, guys. The refs seem to throw more flags in the preseason than in the regular season. I think that's what they're told to do. If they see anything even close to a penalty, they'll throw the flag just for the hell of it.

 

I think they do this, then meet with the Director of officiating to talk about it. Then, he's probably like "That was a good call." or "It was good you threw the flag, but that's a call you don't necessarily need to make in the future."

 

Or something.
