Again, that is only your own assumption. And you are refusing to entertain any explanation for the increase in calls against the team, except to point at factors that did not come into play until the following season.

As for the higher penalties this year, you'd have to argue the team is composed exactly the same if you want to make any sort of relevant comparisons.

You can easily isolate the penalties called against players who were not on the team last year, and other posters have in fact done this. It is not sufficient to account for the change; it is not even close to sufficient.
