Twitter: Dallas has the third-most penalty yards in the NFL this season at 402

[Runwildboys]

Coach Carrot just claps everytime his players make mistakes Jimmy Johnson would have cut the player the next day!lol

No he wouldn't have. You think they never got penalties back when Jimmy was HC?

Throw a jump ball deep and 9/10 times I guarantee our DBs will get flagged.

 

[Chrispierce]

That’s a lot of yardage for 5 games. Wow...400?
A 10yd avg per? So basically we’ve given teams 4 football fields to work with already,great.

 

[ESisback]

Third most penalty yards, AND 32nd in starting field position! Add poor in-game adjustments, and that pretty much negates the edge we supposedly have talent wise.

 

[Melonfeud]

So we excel at something? 10.3 yds sounds like we've cut down on the ticky tack 5 yd screw ups.

Ya, we've moved on past that greasy kid stuff a ways back now

Exactly. When you drill down stats you can make anything seem dastardly. Like that no-holds-during-consecutive-harvest-moon-months stat a few years back.

We've had the 12th most penalties called against us (1 more than NE, 2 more than KC) and are 16th at benefiting from penalties (2 less than KC, 3 more that NE). Nothing to see here, except from CONSPIRACY! wackjobs.

Surprised Dallas isn't 1st with the way officiating has gone.

 

[cowboy_ron]

Under Garrett this is an undisciplined and on game day unprepared team.

 

[DogFace]

Packers never get called for holding against us.

Correction. They did get called for one very clear one on the first series that also involved grabbing the helmet. Then Rodgers straightened out the official and no more were called.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Coaching,coaching, coaching....... but then again one look at who the GM is you really aren't surprised....

LLLOOOLLL, sounds about right.

 

[DCreppinBoysfan]

A quarter of that is presnap illegal motion call

 

[Carson]

Shocked

Absolutely shocked

 

[JMech]

but, but, but our coach teaches discipline!

 

[Hardline]

Anytime Zeke gets a big gain I know the flags are coming out.
I bet Zeke leads the league in called back yardage

 

[Whirlwin]

And people tell me I'm wrong when I say there's no discipline

 

[CowboysLegends2]

It’s not just total yardage that matters. Timing is everything. A few well timed penalty can help a game turn out any way you want without having to go crazy.

How many flags get thrown AFTER a 15+ yard gain? Once the play is over. Against Miami they actually huddled up to discuss what they could call after a score and there was no replay to be seen.

This X 100!

Couldn’t agree anymore. Austin’s holding? Quinn’s roughing on a 3rd down ...

Other teams get penalty but always ends up making it a first and 15 after an incomplete pass or something non beneficial

You can teach all you want but that doesn’t mean they have to learn.

Aikman in this video explains the problems with mediocre coaching that lead to mistakes... that even the Cowboys in the late 90’s could not overcome.

Jerry in the video seems to take Switzer’s side and even hired a coach (that JG seems to become) that Aikman absolutely hated in the last part of the video.

The Cowboys have lacked a coach that punished and scolded players for mistakes and losing since Jimmy Johnson (and maybe Parcells to an extent). Jimmy played the bad cop while Troy played the good cop.

That is why the Cowboys keep committing penalties and turnovers almost every week.
