Cowboys 27 – Colts 23: How Tough is this Dallas Team?

I feel like the Cowboys had a soft culture before I saw the injury report ahead of the Colts' game, and that thought was cemented when I saw George Pickens, Joey Porter Jr., and DeMarvion Overshown on the inactive list in Indianapolis. How many of these guys were actually too hirt to play? Who reall

The Cowboys’ Season Is on the Line Against the Colts

I have no problem saying this: the Dallas Cowboys' season is 100% on the line in today's matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Inevitably, if they do find a way to lose, we'll hear "we have a lot of football left," or "we're not panicking," from either the Head Coach, owner/GM, quarterback, or, mo

Potential Cowboys Coaching Candidate Shines in Debut

Jerry Jones has been hinting at hiring a certain franchise legend as an NFL coach as far back as November 2024. Last night, that potential Cowboys coaching candidate put on a show in his collegiate coaching debut against the Florida Gators. Jason Witten, the future Hall of Fame tight end, was promot

Week 9 Injury Report: Cowboys hopeful 2 key starters will play tomorrow

The Dallas Cowboys are on the road against the Colts tomorrow, and the injury report just never seems to get any better no matter how many weeks pass. A game that the Cowboys have to win, and it was that way last week, but after giving up a 20-point quater to the Cardinals, it makes

The Cowboys Team I’d Build With Campbell, Romo, and Lee

The Cowboys offense I picture with Dan Campbell and Tony Romo would make a defense pay for crowding the line. I want a running game that makes defenders commit, and then watch as Romo goes after the space left behind. With Sean Lee running the defense, that's the team I see us getting from the

The 11 Former Cowboys’ Players to Build a Coaching Staff

Dak Prescott called Tony Romo "a great coach" during the game in 2016. When the Cowboys' rookie quarterback came to the sideline, Romo would tell him what he'd seen and what Dak could do about it. Every time that advice helped Prescott, and it got a little harder for Romo to get his job back.

Jerry Jones made 2 ridiculous statements on the radio this week

I had to make this point just to voice some more frustration that I have already done plenty of times, but I really am tired of what Jerry Jones continues to say to the media. This time it is about the way the defense is 'trending'. He is clearly not watching the same thing as

Chris Simms Says the Cowboys Have a Problem with Dak Prescott

Trading Dak Prescott this season would add about $10.5 million to what the Cowboys already have against their 2027 salary cap for him. They would still have to pay for his replacement, but the cost of this endeavor deserves a closer look. I could accept a rough 2027 if Dallas came out of it with

Would a Cowboys’ loss on Sunday actually be a good thing?

It is already Wednesday and here we are talking about the next Dallas Cowboys game against the Colts, who have pretty much sold off their entire team already. After a loss like the Cowboys suffered on Sunday to the Arizona Cardinals, it just feels like we should be used to it by now, but yet

Dallas Needs a New Coach: Would He Want this 26′ Roster?

The Cowboys lose out on top head coaching candidates because of how much money they've committed to Dak Prescott and this roster. Everybody has a list of coaches they want in Dallas, myself included.

Cowboys should be sellers, but Jerry Jones refuses to concede defeat

As we look at the status of the Dallas Cowboys, you would think with the guys they have they should be looking to add one or two more guys at the trade deadline, but they have the worst coaching staff in football, so they should look to sell. Yet, that won't happen because Jerry Jones

The Cowboys Should Make Sean McDermott Say No

If Jerry Jones fires Brian Schottenheimer as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, I want him to call Sean McDermott before settling on somebody to finish the season. I haven't seen anyone on this coaching staff capable of taking over as interim head coach, and that should speak volumes about how Dallas

The Cowboys seemingly become more embarrassing in each loss

I have been a Dallas Cowboys since I could walk, and you, just like me over the last 30 years, have seen a lot more bad than good, and yet when you don't think things can get more embarrassing, they do. Every bad loss over the years I have seen this team endure, I say

Cowboys lost 33-30: A Trade Won’t Fix Bad Coaching

I'm firing Brian Schottenheimer and Christian Parker as coaches of the Dallas Cowboys, the first chance I get if I'm in charge of this team.

Heading into today's game, the Dallas Cowboys were 1-8 against the Arizona Cardinals in the last twenty years; today, it felt like they were trying to continue that awful stretch, and they were successful in doing just that.

Cowboys Get a Locke on Defense, and Schoonmaker’s Running Out of Time?

The Cowboys are getting P.J. Locke back, and James Mitchell is getting an opportunity at tight end. I believe both moves will be worth keeping an eye on against Arizona today.

Dallas, We Have A Problem: 6 Issues Against Arizona

Is Dallas Getting the Pittsburgh Version of George Pickens?

I love the intensity of the Dallas Cowboys version of George Pickens, but could the issues that plagued him in Pittsburgh be creeping up on the Cowboys? I'm not advocating for a big smile as he walks off the field after a loss, but a good block or two during a game would be nice.
