Just on espn. Dallas Cowboys have 266 penalties since McCarthy became the head coach.

What is the context I wonder?
How does this compare to other teams?

Getting banged for holding is better than your QB going down for the year when someone gets badly beaten.

Maybe stop getting beat is the answer?

Last year with CW that was the case , getting beat and holding was only way to protect QB… with Tyler smith , even proper pan cakes may be called holding ( just because of reputation) , may be just may be taking the bias out of refreeing is better. Just my 0.02

Yep I agree. That's what the Tulsa coach said.

I expect some BS flags thrown on him this year

Maybe Jerry should alert the league office in advance, that'll help lol.

He should take the refrees out for a night of bashing before the games !

Again, MM had one of the least penalized teams while coaching a decade in GB, did he go to the barn for a year to learn how to committ penalties????? kinda crazy ....

I've found a few sites and I'm struggling to find this number on any of them. Are they including preseason? Playoffs?

this seems to include playoffs (18 games for 2021). Still not 266

Agreed. The Packers' offensive lines got away with murder, officials looking the other way on obvious holding penalties. Just google packers holding, and you'll find many articles/videos on them getting away with it.
