Has anyone else found themselves enjoying watching football much less than years prior due to the number of penalties? (alien.top)

I swear, half of the plays in the games I watch have a penalty. It just kills the flow of the game seeing a flag all the time, it feels like games back in the 00’s were not like this.

2023: 2229 penalties on pace for 4012 (this on pace will vary a bit due to bye weeks for various teams)

Saw a sizable spike 2014-2019, but actually went down on averages the last few years while adding an extra week.
