This week Jeff Triplette's crew will work the Cowboys-Green Bay game at Lambeau Field.

Since 2001, the Cowboys are 2-1 with Triplette and all of the games have been on the road. The last game he worked was the 14-10 win at Washington last year. The Cowboys were flagged five times for 40 yards. Washington had two for 10.

Last week they worked the Houston-Indianapolis game and threw 21 flags, 17 which were accepted. Houston was penalized 13 times for 104 yards and host Indy was penalized four times for 40 yards.

Here's the breakdown:

Offside - 4
Defensive pass interference - 2
False start - 3
Illegal contact - 1
Offensive pass interference - 2
Personal foul - 1
Defensive holding - 1
Offensive holding - 3
Face mask - 1
Unnecessary roughness - 2
Offensive offside - 1

With the Cowboys' penchant for jumping the snap, I would think lining up correctly will be emphasized this week in practice with four offside penalties last week.

Quarter by quarter breakdown:

First - 9
Second - 7
Third - 2
Fourth - 4

Should be emphasized on a weekly basis since we can't seem to figure it out. I know everyone on here is happy and in a lovey dovey mood but the lack of discipline on this team is going to kill us toward the end of this season.

Want to have a better December than years' past? Step one is to limit the stupid penalties.
