Unless I'm mistaken, last year we led the league in penalties! This year we started right back where we left off.
But has anyone else noticed that for the last 2 games the Cowboys have cleaned up their act??
I haven't seen the actual numbers, but they have REALLY cleaned up their act!
I don't believe those penalties improved by themselves, I think HC Mike McCarthy is responsible for cleaning up the penalty mess. However he did it, I'd personally like to double thank MM for his efforts!

If we can show that first 2 weeks are thing of past then kudos to MM.

He promised to clean this up, hope he's got it right.

Ready and willing to to eat my crow.

We are 12th in number of penalties so far tied with AZ, Cle, and Wash. We are 14th in penalty yards.
Considering we were 1st in number of penalties and 2nd in penalty yards last year, I'd say it's an improvement.

Cleaned up a lot of he pre snap penalties from week one.
Did have an offsides against the Rams, resulting in a 1st down.

Had 1 or 2 holding calls on he OL?

DPI & holding or illegal contact penalties been down also it seems. Those are the killer ones keeping drives alive.
Let's see how they do against the Eagles, they have some receivers this year better than they had the past 5 years that are not dropping the ball.
