LOL

I'm thinking you've never managed teams before.
sorry you are not a Professional football coach, FO staff, or player.,. This isnt the college or hS ranks, its pro team in a capped league and Pros who make millions dont get benched or made an example of for penalties. MM can do whatever he can to make it point of emphasis and then its up to the player to get that fixed...BTW many of those penalties were bogus anyway 3 roughing calls were all wrong some offsides we saw in slow motion were also bogus not players fault refs are slow and blind or cant see everything.

sorry dont sit up here in fan forum and act all knowledgeable i listed many examples of championship type teams and HOF coaches who led teams who led the league inpenatlies.IT HAPPENS..

It seems to me that once a team gets a reputation for penalties, the refs tend to look for it that much more. I feel like continuing to emphasize coaching players to avoid them gradually creates a lessening of the flags being thrown. It needs to start with coaches being far less tolerant of the miscues of players who are called for penalties the most. Some coaches are inclined to be the players' friend as much as their coaches. More often than not, it's simply counterproductive.

Honestly, I'm surprised, expected to be in the middle of the pack.
Of course, we were 1st last season, so we are seeing improvement BUT not nearly enough. Three penalties, false starts, offensive holding, and offside are killing us. In context, the Eagles are near the bottom. We gotta clean this up......don't know how but MM better figure it out.

So why even participate if your opinion never deviates from coaches or FO?

To be fair, the difference between 4th and 15th is like 7 penalties. Really need to clean up the false starts and it would make a huge difference, that seems to be our kryptonite.
Our LT has 4-5 holds

They want to keep penalizing us so they can run that stat across the screen when it happens against Philthy. Some people act like the Jerry/Goodall thing isn't real.

Truth of the matter is, it is real. And the Cowboys pay for it some.
