Missed TD Opportunities Nearly Cost Cowboys Victory Against Detroit 1

5 TDs Dallas Cowboys Should’ve Made Against Detroit, But Didn’t

Make no mistake, Dallas Cowboys offense looked far superior Sunday afternoon against the Detroit Lions than they have at any point so far in the 2018 season. Having said that, they missed at least five opportunities at scoring a touchdown by my count, instead settled for field goals for the most part. It may be nitpicking, …

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly for Cowboys against Detroit

I don’t know about you, but my week is usually a lot better when the Dallas Cowboys win. Luckily, that’s exactly what they were able to do in a slobber knocker against the Detroit Lions Sunday afternoon. This victory has them back to .500, with the Houston Texans next up on the schedule and state pride …

Leighton Vander Esch Already Proving to be Cowboys' Best Linebacker?

Numbers Don’t Lie, Leighton Vander Esch is Dallas’ Best Linebacker

Don’t look now, but the Dallas Cowboys might just have been right to select Leighton Vander Esch with their first-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. The rookie LB is already proving his doubters wrong through the first three weeks of the season and might even be the best linebacker on the entire roster. Yes, you …

3 Quick Fixes to Jumpstart Cowboys Anemic Offense

3 Quick Fixes to Help Jumpstart Cowboys Anemic Offense

I don’t know where you stand, but I’m finding it really hard to watch the Dallas Cowboys so far this season, especially their offense. They look downright clueless and even anemic this year and it’s way past time for some changes. Luckily, I think I may have a few solutions, at least in the short term. …

Time to Stop Making Excuses for QB Dak Prescott?

Is it Time to Stop Making Excuses for QB Dak Prescott?

I think it’s time we take off our rose-colored glasses and start looking at Quarterback Dak Prescott with fresh eyes. It’s time to reassess him as a starting caliber QB and forget all about what he’s accomplished thus far in his young career. Unfortunately, there’s something clearly wrong with the Dallas Cowboys passing game and I …

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly for Cowboys Against Seahawks

Like the majority of you, I was expecting the Dallas Cowboys to build off of their win over the New York Giants and put together a much better performance than they did against the Seattle Seahawks last Sunday afternoon. Unfortunately, I should’ve remembered that the Cowboys don’t have the best track record when playing in Seattle. …

Monday Morning Hangover: Cowboys Bad Play in Seattle Continues

Monday Morning Hangover: Cowboys Bad Play in Seattle Continues

There’s no need to sugarcoat anything about the way the Dallas Cowboys played Sunday afternoon on the road against the Seattle Seahawks. Although winless so far this season, the Seahawks thoroughly manhandled the Cowboys in all three phases of the game and continued their domination over America’s Team. I don’t know how you’re feeling today, but I’m …

Can WR Brice Butler Help Improve Cowboys Passing Game?

Can WR Brice Butler Help Improve Cowboys Passing Game?

In a somewhat confusing move, the Dallas Cowboys decided to re-add Wide Receiver Brice Butler to the roster in order to get something more out of the passing game, which to be honest has been pretty putrid in the first two games of the 2018 season. Something needed to be done, but I’m not sure that …

Why Tavon Austin Needs More Offensive Touches With Cowboys

Why Cowboys Need Tavon Austin More Involved Offensively

Two games into the 2018 season and I’m still not quite sure what to make of the Dallas Cowboys offense. To me, there is a void of playmakers on the offensive side of the ball. With the exception of Ezekiel Elliott and maybe Cole Beasley, there is a lack of consistency that is really hurting this …

Taco Tuesday: Cowboys DE Taco Charlton Starting to Dominate?

There has been quite a bit of talk about what a bad decision it was for the Dallas Cowboys to draft Taco Charlton with their first-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. Nearly everybody wanted someone different, not a player that needed time to develop. Well, fast forward a year later and it looks as if …

Dak In Time: Cowboys Need Prescott to Return to Rookie Form

“Oh! What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive!” This well-known quote taken out of a Sir Walter Scott poem continues to pop into my head when I watch Dallas Cowboys Quarterback Dak Prescott play. As a rookie he was sensational, but things have unfortunately gone down hill since that magical season. …

The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly for Cowboys Against Panthers

It’s always difficult to write about the Dallas Cowboys after a loss, even more so after they’ve played as sloppily as they did against the Carolina Panthers Sunday afternoon. But, I’m not going to let the 16-8 defeat keep me from doing my duty. In all honesty, this game gave me flashbacks of the Dallas Cowboys …
