Here's the REAL stat from Friday..............

Phins 7/ 50
Falcons 4/25

In penalites. Forget the score, forget the QB INT's. Forget everything ! if this is still there after the 3rd pre-season, they are in for a world of hurt.

I loathe penalties; especially stupid penalties, like false starts. And while some other teams (Falcons included) did ok in the penalty category in week 1 of preseason, it's pretty obvious that the majority of teams around the league are not nearly as prepared as they usually are by this time of year because of the lockout. So, penalties and other problems will be more abundant for the next several weeks.

It's no excuse for Miami's penalties, but I can see why it's more of a problem this year. I will be more concerned if it doesn't get better by regular season.

Wow, you guys just try to find any way to bash this team right? its the first preseason game!!!!

We were TOP 5 in penalties last year! Calm the f*** down
