What's the difference committing 14 penalties can make?

Or better yet, the lack of 14, maybe just 3 or 4?

Just how much did that impact this team and their chances to win that game? More than letting them rush for 170 yards, imo.

The reason I am picking the Cowboys is that I believe in this game they will only have to beat the Niners because playing against them and your own mistakes is tough.

What is it coaches like to use "don't beat yourself"? That is exactly what they did in that last game against them, I am actually surprised it was a 6 point game and the Cowboys actually had a chance at the end of that game.

The Niners are a good team and they surely don't need the Cowboys helping them win this game as they did last time. That, does not happen this time. Keep that penalty number to a reasonable one and the Cowboys win this game.

That and I believe the Cowboys players want this game more than the Niners. And when talent is pretty even, want to usually wins.

I don't usually call for Cowboys wins but in this case I believe they are going to win this game and it might not even be close at the end.

Stats are tangibles but in the all-important intangible category, the Cowboys have the edge in this game. because after Monday night, they believe.
I think we had 3 holding plays on our defensive line. Gregory had 3 pre snap penalties. DT had hands to the face. Conner Williams had crucial holding plays , Collins had at least 2 pre snap penalties. Dak as usual held on the ball too long but had some key completions also. Zeke looked quick and a double blitz pick up. Seriously, Zeke needs to trim some muscle. It's slowing him down. Cee Dee, Amari, Gallup, and Wilson would be a super WR group this year.

They have been much better with penalties lately, honestly I'm just hoping the refs actually call holding on Parsons this game as he was held every play against the Bucs and it only got called once.

The only problem is when we get our hopes up and actually think the Cowboys can advance in the playoffs, that's when the stupid Cowboys show up. This game is making me nervous.

We gave the game away.
I'm so glad Gregory, CW and Lael are gone, even Amari looked like he quit at halftime.
Hope this Cowboys show some heart (and brain) this sunday.

Right away, 8 of the 14 were committed by players who are no longer here.

9 if Gallimore is a healthy scratch again.

Others were by Parsons, Lamb and Prescott, our best players.

Gifford doesn’t play a big role, and OO had one.

They should be able to cut 14 in half by accident, but nothing would surprise me.

We have an excellent opportunity to finally break thru to our first championship appearance in 27 years knocking that monkey off our back.

I like being in the underdog role . Not as much pressure . Not expected to win. We should be loose.
