Please, no facts please that don’t support the narrative here. Lol2018 - 12th fewest penalties in the league
2017 - 11th
2016 - 15th
Certainly nothing to brag about but in recent history the cowboys have been better than average in this category.
Also the cowboys opponents this year have 7.2 penalties per game, the cowboys have 8.0, not a major difference. I think the nfl has a penalty problem more so than the cowboys.
And just for fun the least penalized team in the league is none other than the super successful miami dolphins.
I'm of the mindset that these are professionals who know the rules, so unless the coaches are giving them incorrect information on proper alignment, blocking without holding, and all the other stuff that we fans even know, I don't understand the concept of blaming the coaches.......especially the head coach, who isn't working as closely as the coordinators.

I agree with most of what you're saying. My bigger point was that 8 games is a rough sample size. Overall the cowboys have been in the middle of the pack and are only about 1 penalty per game from being in that area again.Which is likely an anomaly. Because arguably the two best teams in the NFL - Pats and 49ers - are bottom five in penalties and the top 5 teams in penalties are all not all that good - Cleveland, Jets, Tampa Bay, Oakland, Atlanta.
There are only two teams with winning records in the Top 10............... us and Houston. All the other teams with the most penalties in the Top 10 are .500 or below.
And if you look at the bottom ten teams in terms of penalties, 6 of the bottom 10 have winning records.
Yes I agree that this team is very undiciplined under this coaching staff...10 penalties for 103 yards
We committed these idiotic penalties and got away last night because we were playing the hapless Giants. But you do that against quality opponents and you will get your head handed to you. What is worse, is that there is not one iota of improvement in this category. Since the time Garrett was hired as coach, this team has suffered from penalties and it continues year in and year out. Short of Garrett being fired, what is it going to take to stop committing these idiotic penalties?

Why can't the refs help us like they do the Patriots?
Beat me to it NYCTwo words - Jason Garrett.

You're probably right.Seems like we had penalty issues with Wade and Bill.
Can anyone provide some stats to dispute this narrative?
