Much of it on the O-line.

Last week after the game I bragged about how much more disciplined they had played. Tonight they reverted to old form.

No, the sky is not falling. I'm aware it is a pre-season game and means nothing. Overall I am very pleased with the way the entire team played.

Quit worrying about Romo's chemistry with Roy. They have it.

Quit worrying about Garrett being figured out. He utilized every weapon all night.

Quit worrying about punts hitting the scoreboard. They can, much to my amazement.

Don't quit worrying about penalties and don't quit worrying about Punt Returner. I swear that drill is designed for me to see how long I can hold my breath.

Same song, different verse. Or should I say same team, different year. Solid offense, solid defense, and special teams and penalties enough to make you want to punch babies.

I hear ya Hos.

Something about these penalties has to be done. In close games that **** kills us. The special teams is looking like last year. The only thing i like was the booming kicks by McBriar and Buehler.

I thought he did well tonight as well. I only caught parts of the game cause I was at work but it was a pretty good game for him.

One thing I would like to see more of though is more of a mix at RB.

I would like to see MB and Felix rotate in and out during drives. Just kind of seemed like Dallas through a RB and went with him the hold series.

I would also like to see more Bennett on the field with Witten.

Like I said, I only caught parts so maybe these things were happening more than I realized.

And yes, the PR game is extremely weak.

Never worried about any of that except for penalties and special teams. I'm not too worried about punt returning, as much as I am coverage. We're not going to have a dynamic returner, so just get as much as you can, and let our offense go to work.

The penalties are ridiculous. I dont care what the stats say, I dont think we win anything if we're in the neighborhood of 08 penalties.

Seriously, this punt returner thing is really starting to get on my nerves. Are we th eonly team in the league that cant find a punt returner.

At some point, Dallas has to draft a guy even if all he does is return kicks. My heart was broken when they passed on Yamon Figurs, I thought it would of been well worth giving Buffalo a 5th for Parrish, Johnnnie Lee was passed by, Cribbs could of been had this off season. At some point it makes more sense to chew up a roster spot drafting a threat at Punt Returner then holding 2 kickers.

I kept thinking all night, if Dallas stays healthy and cuts down on the dumb penalties they will be one tough team to beat.

get a little worried at times how Garrett gets pass happy

cant have the Hurd hold on the long KO return by Austin

also had some concern we outplayed them in the first half and before the late TD we were losing 10-7

have to tighten some things up

did Ogeltree pass Stanback by tonight, Stanback didn't play much

Without looking at any hard numbers to compare, I thought the penalty situation was alot better than against Oakland. It didn't seem like we had alot of penalties until the backups came in.

I dont trust our Oline to be a run first team.

The holding call on Hurd was ticky tacky. Very ticky tacky.

I was concerned as well after the domination and the 10-7 defecit. Reminded me of the NYG game. When you dominate that much, you need to show it on the scoreboard and not let teams hang around.

T-New returned a punt in preseason. I'm not a fan of this.

That was a terrible call on Hurd for sure.

That 4th and four chain links false start is unacceptable.

Sit their butts down after that stuff. Sit them a series.

Cut the dummies on special teams.

our first penalty was bogus. Hurd was not holding on the opening kick off. IMO, there were only 12 penalties.

I am only upset about a few of the penalties.

1. Sensabaugh's late hit out of bounds
2. Watkin's unsportsmanlike conduct for not getting back inbounds faster
3. Hamlin's facemask
4. Colombo's false start

I am pleased at how well Flozell is playing. His only penalty was illegal hands to the face. That is going to happen from time to time. Still, no false starts and no holdings. Way to go Flo.....

This team has its flashes of greatness, for several years now, only to turn around and screw themselves with sloppy, undisciplined play. If Wade can get that fixed this team will make some noise this year!

I agree, Flo played very well tonight (I didn't see the game last week) and that one penalty was no big deal IMO.

What kills me are the 15yd penalties.. Because those are the most avoidable.
