Interesting fact about Dallas penalties

[khiladi]

Apparently, while the side of Dallas committing the most penalties was raised on this forum, Dallas at least through a large part of the season led the league in FIRST downs by PENALTY, meaning they were getting bailed out and drives extended more than any other team in the league offensively,

All I know it is seemed like way too many games turned into a flag fest. The refs got far to much air time and slowed the game down.

It seemed to me like Dak got bailed out by quite a few iffy PI calls…

I am used to the refs cheating for us.

Am I fully okay with it? No. It's not right but I can live with it as a fan.

no way, I heard it was a conspiracy and the refs hate us.

next, you will be telling us that the offensive line wasn't the worst offensive line in the NFL.
