13 penalties a game = 3-1 record.
Cowboys have committed exactly 13 penalties four times this year . They're 3-1 in those games- WOW.
I guess we should do it more often.  |

Kinda defines the season doesnt it? Defying logic week in and out.

Everytime 4 planes fly across a mcdonalds at the same time that someone dips a chicken nugget twice into a sweet and sour sauce, the Cowboys are 14-1.
God this is getting old....
This is Tony Romo's team. If you don't like him, find another team.

Look at the Turn Over margin that is the main reason we have lost what is the record of games where we are + in TO vs games we are - on TO

Yes there is, two of them actually:
1- We are lucky to be 3-1 in those games.
2- If we don’t clean that up there is no way that trend continues. |

Spin the chamber too many times and eventually you've redecorated the wall.
They need to get it fixed.

So penalties in an NFL game have the same degree of importance for winning and losing as someone dipping chiken nuggets into a sweet and sour sauce. Interesting observation, not a good one, but indeed interesting. |

It probably supports studies that have been done that show penalties have little correlation to winning games.
Now turnovers, as kangaroo pointed out, is another story.

That is a truly bizarre stat. I've honestly forgotten what it is like to be amongst the least penalized teams in the league. I would assume the last time we've been among the top ten fewest would be around 2005?

No, SIR, having exactly "13" penalties in an NFL game has the same degree of importance for winning and losing as someone dipping CHICKEN nuggets into a sweet and sour sauce......
Come on sir, keep up....

SMH, if by now you don’t get the point that having around 13 penalties a game (and not the actual number 13) is not good enough and will probably end up costing the team then it’s not even worth discussing.
Have a good one my friend, cheers. |

We're -9 in TO differential. Only 3 teams are worse...Buffalo, Philly, and Kansas City. Combine that with being 2nd in the league in penalties...how did we win 4 games? |
