Yellow journalism

More on this game later, but does everyone agree that the preponderance of yellow flags has totally disrupted the rhythm of this Cowboys-Lions thing?

I'm guessing that the Lions' defensive front thinks they've picked up something -- the snap count? an Al Johnson twitch? -- and trying to beat the Cowboys off the line of scrimmage. It's worked, sometimes, but Detroit is on pace for a Texas Stadium record for times penalized.

Before you rip into the Cowboys' lethargic performance or the play-calling, remember that this was supposed to be the ambush game in the team's three-games-in-11-days test. I'm not inclined to grade them on style points on this one.

More later. Seats are already emptying here at Texas Stadium. They'd rather nap at home.

Interesting title, given your previous editorial on Tech/OU. JiM
