The Cowboys were the most penalized team in the league with 127 penalties in 2021. We had 14 penalties twice this year.
In the SF game we were flagged 14 times for 89 yards. Seven of those 14 were against the offense. Those 7 penalties wiped out 53 yards of gains. 89 + 53 = 142 yards lost to penalties against SF.
I didn’t count how many drives were killed by penalties in the SF game, but it was too many. It’d be interesting if one could convert the loss of those 142 yards into points lost as a result of penalties.
Some teams typically get more penalties and some teams tend to get less. Obviously the biggest difference is coaching and discipline.
Where was Kellen Moore? He doesn’t control the defense of course, but he’s in full charge of the offense. How did we become the league’s leader in penalties without KM taking notice? Or if he did take notice, then he failed to gain control of the issue.
Is that acceptable?
