I feel like there are too many, but even then there are some dumb ones.
I've had multiple "mandatory penalty for 0 yards" on the other team that wiped out a good play for my team. Has anyone ever heard of a zero yard mandatory penalty in any football game ever? I can't even conceive of what that is.
Then there is HAL's logic. Last night, I made a field goal from my opponents 25. There was a penalty on my opponent that would've put me 1st & 10 at my opponents 12 yard line. HAL declined the penalty. A real NFL coach would've been run out of town for that.
Hal's logic follows conventional wisdom of never taking points off the board. Now if your team were behind by two scores or perhaps it's shortly before half-time or even very late in the 4th and your team trails by more than 3, that assessment could change. Hal still followed conventional wisdom.
