Most disciplined football team in the NFL

Through two games they are the most disciplined team in the NFL. They have committed fewer penalties, for fewer yards, than anyone in the league. They have been flagged just six times for 40 yards. Their opponents over the same two games? Try 18 penalties for 140 yards.

Again, demonstrating cohesion and accountability and preparation unseen in almost a generation from our team. Hopefully we keep improving each week. If so, the sky's the limit going forward.

Game discipline has clearly been a hallmark of the Redskins from the very start of preseason, as demonstrated by their nearly penalty free first preseason game against the Steelers, and then, a nearly as clean performance against the Ravens. This team is all about work... and it's a very good thing.

I think that will change after Monday. Rivalry games seem to have more penalties from what I've seen.

Only after the Cowboys, frustrated after multiple 3& outs, 2 lost fumbles, a pick returned for a TD, and giving up 168 yards on the ground in the first quarter, turn to cheap shots and illegal blocks...

man I hate it when the refs do everything they can to help the pukes when we play them
HOPEFULLY they do a better job of penalising whomever is holding Orakpo this time

this bunch is VERY disciplined and hopefully they keep it up

Maybe the refs could hold back on phantom calls so Banks can keep all of his 198 combined return yards and both TDs too!
