Seems to be a very disorganized thesis. Here are some statistics. Compare the high and low penalty games of the day, which is comparing apples and Buicks. Compare the elapsed game time disparity, because it is due to those penalties, and nothing more. Don't offer any causality for the statistics, because the implication throughout is that is the the officials. After all, we wouldn't be having this many penalties if not for all the pesky flags. It is chewing up 18 hours of our lives in composite game delay.
Then, we shift gears suddenly to challenging personal fouls, or how about anything? No mention of the delay that causes.
(He also buried the lede in there: pass interference is DOWN compared to last year. Huh, how about that?)
It was expected that this year was going to have more penalties called with the new points of emphasis. Seems like 2.1 more flags per game compared to last season is firmly under the bell curve with that expectation.

I don't care about the number of penalties as long as they are called consistently and correctly.
Especially from crew to crew.
