As a follow-up here are Morelli's penalty stats for Eagles games going back 4 years.

10/12/17 PHI 10(126) CAR 1(1)

10/09/16 PHI 14(111) DET 2(18)

12/06/15 PHI 8(97) NWE 3(30)

09/29/13 PHI 8(62) DEN 2(25)


Yep. Definitely not anything wrong here when it's 40-8 in terms of penalties called. Yep.

edit: One final note. Last year against the Lions he called an ineligible player downfield on #98. Except #98 for the Eagles was Connor Barwin. Who plays defense. And was on the bench at the time.

His crew also hosed up a 2015 Niners/Cardinals game so bad the NFL publicly rebuked them. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/14268264/nfl-moves-pete-morelli-crew-sunday-night-game-amid-criticism

Pete Morelli needs to be fired.
