I have a hard time even calling them a professional team. That was amateur hour at it's finest. Imagine if Roger decided to try a QB draw instead of giving Pearson a chance. These guys are a joke so they lash out at the refs. Pathetic. Get intercepted in the end zone like a real man. Patting the stats till the bitter end.
Well said.
Amateur hour is right.
Players and coaches.
It would be interesting if someone did a baseball style analysis of penalties (and negative plays in general).
Like in baseball, a taking a first pitch ball and the count going to 1-0 shoots your chance of sucess way up, while taking a fist pitch strike, an 0-1 count, the pitcher now has a huge edge.
A lined up in the neutral zone penalty, so 1st and 5, increases the offenses possibilty by a huge amount (one would imagine).
Conversely a false start, and 1st and 15, decreases the chance of a first down tremendously.
The Cowboys continually shoot themselves in the foot, and in the playoffs against a good (and well coached team), those negative plays reduce your chance of winning to such a razor thin margin.
