Sloppy game

18 Penalties, a new franchise high.....
No way you are going to win without Romo going forward playing such undisciplined football, and yes I am talking to you Bailey !
What the heck were you thinking grabbing Murray ???

Hey guys did you hear we won?

Yep, we won, but we have 14 games left and can't play such undisciplined going forward.

honestly if you watched football around the league today, there was just an abnormally high amount penalties called today. The total was around 250 penalties called with couple of more games still to be played.

The term "over officious jerks" comes to mind. They killed drives and killed the flow of the game.

The defense looked pretty dang good though,,,

We stunk today. Philly stunk worse.

A lot of the penalties were due to refs that wanted to make the game about themselves and that includes at least 1 of the penalties against the Eagles.

Tyron was lined up where he is always lined up on the play they flagged him to being off the line.

Many officiating crews would not have called the penalty on Bailey.

Some of the holding calls looked bogus. I'll be able to see it better when the All-22 comes out, but I'm fairly certain several of them would not be called by some other crews.

I need to review it again, but it seemed that the delay of game whistle was blown before I saw 00 on the play clock. I've gotten to where I watch the play clock closely because of how Romo runs to so close to zero. Most refs will let it hit zero and then basically give it about another second or half-second but that was not the case with this officiating crew.

They also screwed up the Escobar TD or non-TD play. The tip of the ball only had to cross the front edge of the white line. It seemed obvious that it was definitely over before his shin touched down.

Man, what a weird game. Soooo many penalties, but at least Demarco got stuffed all game long!

Those penalties kept Philly in the game or it would have been over way sooner. We are so much better than the Eagles. I knew the Chip experiment was a failure while most fans and media were hailing him as a genius in the preseason. The Cowboys today laid the blue print on how to defend this college offense. Chip Kelly still thinks he is at Oregon, and his stupid hurry up when it is shut down like today, gasses his own defense.
