How do you fix penalties?

For every penalty committed you have to spend 5 minutes in the make out closet with Jerry Jones.......teeth out.

I'd gamble we would have the cleanest games going forward.

Assassinate Jerry Jones or Roger Goodell? Cause that's the only way this team is every going to get a break from the league or the Zebras.. One of them has to be in the ground or it aint hapnin. The bad blood from the lawsuit in '95 coupled with Jerry leading the charge to remove the guarantee from 90% of Goodell's salary is going nowhere as long as both men are alive.

And the tons of pre snap penalties?

was curious and looked it up earlier to see what side was the main offender. it's pretty evenly split. think it was 36 offense 35 defense and 10 special teams. sheesh

Some of it is discipline

Some of it is the refs looking for it with this team due to tendencies and reputation.

I don't see it going away anytime soon, just have to minimize the penalties on big playcs

Doing away with the blind ref costumes might help.

Probably also want to avoid going after the Commissioner's job or threatening his compensation when you have no support from the other owners.

A penalty can be called against either team, or both, on every play. It's good not to give the refs, all too human as they are, any extra motivation to see your fouls and not the other team's.
So...... you're admitting there is bias. Good, I agree.

Much as they suck those hardly do any damage. This offense has very little trouble overcoming a 5 yard hole. It's the 10 and 15 yard variety that bites them in the butt. And that doesn't even account for the dozens of uncalled penalties we see being committed by the Cowboys opponents.. The blatant PI against Lamb in Green Bay and then again on Thanksgiving... or the 20 times a game Parsons gets held. And he's not the only one.. Sam Williams and Dorance Armstrong both got hip tossed so violently on Thanksgiving that they almost landed on the back judge.. Fortunately for him he was able to leap out of the way.. and as an added bonus managed to keep his flag in his pocket.

True, those 10 yard holding penalties are almost guaranteed drive killers, though the pre snap ones drove me nuts as they seem so stupid.

Referees are not human; they are scumbags that deserve to be pile-driven headfirst into the turf, then hauled out of the stadium on a cart only to wake up at 2:00am in a dumpster covered in half-eaten hotdogs and beer and smelling like a toilet. Referees are garbage.

Just get them drunk, put a Cowboys jersey on them and dump them out in Philly...

You really can’t fix offensive holding - which seems to be the drive killer at the end of games when we really get going. Watch the all 22 on nfl plus and you will see offensive holding on every play by all teams (ok maybe 90% of all plays). So it comes down to when the ref decides he’s gonna pull that flag and throw it.

I’d really like to think there is no Cowboy hate among referees but there sure seems to be some underlying bias. Maybe it’s the Americas Team thing cause it sure ain’t cause we win every year. Micah gets held on almost every play but amazingly it rarely gets called. But give us a big 3rd down run during a possible game winning drive and they’ll call holding - book it.

Before snap penalties and mental mistakes have to be drilled into their heads. But remember, a lot of these guys didn’t go to college because of their big brains. I just hope we can get a fair shake on the calls that could be called any time.

Make it part of your culture, motto, theme, just add the word "discipline" heading into the playoffs.

Recognize the most disciplined players.

On some levels, there has to be consequences, and a disciplinarian, for the undisciplined.

Holds and pre snap penalties you sit them a series . Or offer them LARGE fine or sit a series and hurt the team.
It's amazing how fast it gets their attention. They used to make the team run
laps but I'm sure that's not in the union contract lol
Not have a fruad as HC
