Do you find yourself after every big play looking for/dreading a flag?

Yes, generally. A lot of it is because the players themselves are constantly calling for, or looking for a flag.

I would like to see calling for a flag by a player become a personal foul.  Fine for coaches.  But unsportsmanlike by the players.

Yes.  Every. Single. Play.

[BearNorth]

Kelce is either 1) interfered with, 2) calling for a flag or 3) committing OPI on nearly every passing play.

yes, because he can't modify his behavior on the field. 

[stinky finger]

I look for a flag only usually or most of the time.

[K-9]

Yep. Like Pavlov’s dog. 

[Drew21PA]

League wide not just the Bills

 

the bills - crazy enough - have gotten quite a bit of “help” on key plays this year if I’m being non biased 

 

I think there we like 6 flags in a row in that tennessee and steeler game

 

just was saying to myself man these refs want to be on tv I think

Trying to modify Josh's on-field behaviors has blown up in our face every time. 🤣 (Plus it was mostly a joke poking fun at our own guy.)

[PetermansRedemption]

Yes. Expect it on every single kick or punt return as well. When the announcer have to say “no flags” after every big play, that tells you all you need to know. That shouldn’t even be required speech when announcing a long TD play.

FFS. 🤨

Sadly topical.  Again. 😕

Haha, yep. I'm ashamed to say I do this too.

[NewEra]

I usually don’t celebrate 3rd or 4th down stops until 2-3 secs after the play.  My eyes go right to the bottom of the screen waiting for the yellow flag icon.  When no flag icon, a huge sigh of relief

Sometimes all three.

[frostbitmic]

I look for a flag after every play whether the Bills are playing or not, the zebras need their on screen time.

Dreading is probably too strong. 

 

Worried about? Yeah. Why wouldn't anyone? I have since I became a fan decades ago. It's part of the game.

Expand  

It is part of the game, the worst part, but it’s a necessary evil.

 

Just hope for the best each play.

[GETTOTHE50]

Nope. I find myself preoccupied and dreading McDorseys next shotgun call. 

[TheBrownBear]

Yes.  And this goes all the way back to the pass interference call on the hail Mary vs the Pats in 1998.  That feels like the definitive start of the "flag watching" phenomenon for me.
