The players who commit penalties should be fined. Start the fines in practice and tell the players they double in the games. Maybe this would clean things up.

5 of the top 6 most penalized players are on the O line. Williams, Biadasz, Collins, Steel and Smith. This is a below average group who gets beat and has to hold to prevent a complete meltdown.
Conner Williams (is a practice squad player during the season if I'm coaching. He would be off the roster after). He's terrible. The only positive thing I can possibly think of is that maybe some of his holding penalties may have prevented a Prescott beating.
Same with Collins. If you can't learn to play without penalties, you're gone. I'd rather play back ups that underperform and you plan around than to keep killing drives over and over and over.

Think about all of the drives we made very positive plays and yards on only to get taken away AND pushed back FURTHER!!! You can't overcome that, no one can.

They do fine them. That doesn't stop a player from committing them.

Agree with most, you can't play backups either the qb would really get killed.

No worries. We all know Dak isn't just gonna sit back there and take a beating. He'll do just about anything to avoid that.

Romo would do that. Take the beating. Try to make something happen.

But not Dak.

Many ways good coaches stop penalties.
A head coach which is incapable of stopping penalties over the entire season is a fraud.

Seems to me that the refs see every penalty the Cowboys commit and throw the flag. There were quite a few times yesterday that they let SF slide. Facemask on Zeke, helmet to helmet hit on return, a few delay of games,and plenty of blatant holding violations.

How about Jennings decleating Diggs away from the play on his blind side right in front of the refs

82 should be released. Fined too easy. 100 yards and penalties that Prescott had to make up. That’s like six Strokes in a golf game lol

Lol...how did that work out when they did see McGovern...lol
Oline needs an overhaul. Lots of holes to fill in. An aging left tackle, left guard is weak, the center isn't good enough,Collins is a bum. How bout that.

I think we can all agree on the following:

The NFL refs as a whole suck; which is not surprising as the NFL is the only professional sports league in the world that does not have full time officials.

So some of the penalties we got were bogus.

BUT a fair number of them were legit.

Way too many.

Penalties happen because players are stupid and/or careless.

Not much you can do about stupid players but get rid of them; you cannot fix dumb.

However you can make sure careless types pay the price. Which the Cowboys have not done really since Jimmy Johnson. Another reason for the Championship drought. It was clear once Jimmy was gone that discipline started to go. Parcells tried but all too often its clear he was stymied by Jerry.

So in the end the change in culture is the only way we stop the penalty flood.

But sadly once again that comes down to the Jones boys going away and we all know that is not going to happen.
