We have now completed a quarter of the 2018 NFL season, and the NFC East remains neck and neck. The Redskins, Cowboys and Eagles all sit with 2 wins on the season, while the Giants fell behind the pack to 1-3 with a home loss last week. Week 5 features some critical games across the division, …
Entering the 2018 season, there was a ton of excitement surrounding the Dallas Cowboys secondary. With the hiring of Kris Richard, and the promise of cornerbacks Byron Jones, Chidobe Awuzie, and Jourdan Lewis, there was certainly reason to pay close attention to their defensive backfield. Through the first two weeks, the excitement was justified (unless we’re …
The Dallas Cowboys found a way to even up their record at 2-2 last Sunday, defeating the Detroit Lions on a Brett Maher last second field goal. While the offense looked better than they had the entire season, the defense quietly had a rough day. In particular, the defensive backs didn’t play up to snuff during …
Despite looking absolutely horrific on offense for about 10 of their first 12 quarters, the Cowboys responded last Sunday against the Lions and find themselves at 2-2 and right in the thick of things in the NFC East. This week they travel to play their in-state rivals, the Houston Texans, on Sunday Night Football. Houston came …
Being a professional quarterback is hard. Being the starting professional quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, well, that tends to be even more difficult. Playing on national television just about every week, being under constant scrutiny from both local and national media, and being hated by most of the league outside (and even inside) of your own …
The Dallas Cowboys’ offensive struggles have been well documented through the first three weeks of this season, specifically the problems they’ve had in the passing game. Dak Prescott is yet to throw for 200 yards this season, a mark it seems like most quarterbacks are guaranteed to hit weekly in the modern day NFL. The receivers …
Prior to the start of the regular season, this week four match up between the Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions looked like a possible chance for Dallas to earn a tie breaker in the NFC wild card race. Instead, with both teams at 1-2, this looks more like an early elimination game. Neither Dallas nor Detroit …
The failure of the Cowboys offense to produce any type of, well, offense does not fall on just one man’s shoulders. This has been an organizational failure from top to bottom, starting with their offensive philosophy and trickling down to every player on the field. With that being said, we still must evaluate the plays and …
For a former first round pick, Byron Jones has had to prove himself to the Cowboys fan base quite a few times. As a rookie Jones was impressive, flashing just how high a ceiling he had. Jones split some time between cornerback and safety due to injury and inconsistencies of his secondary mates, but he excelled …
Sunday in Seattle didn’t go nearly as well as anticipated for the Cowboys, as they fell to the Seahawks in embarrassing fashion, 24-13. While the final score looked close, the fact of the matter is that Dallas was dominated for much of the game. Offensively they looked lost, unable to create any downfield passing threat or …
For the better part of the last decade one defense has reigned supreme over the NFC. One defense has continually put their offense and team in position to win big games, including a dominant Super Bowl win over one of the more productive offenses in recent memory. That defense, of course, belonged to the Seattle Seahawks. …
You can’t talk about this decade’s Dallas Cowboys without discussing the Seattle Seahawks. In 2012, when Golden Tate took out Sean Lee on a crack-back block and the Seahawks embarrassed a Cowboys team who had just defeated the defending champion New York Giants, we saw which of the two teams was truly ready for the big …
Week two didn’t go as planned for much of the NFC East, with only the Dallas Cowboys reigning victorious last Sunday. Now, three teams are locked in a tie for first place at 1-1, with the New York Giants lagging behind with a winless record. Week 3 is shaping up to be a potential early turning …
As Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson threw a game-ending pick six on national television Monday night, all of Cowboys Nation was suddenly giddy. Somehow, the team which looked completely lost and inept offensively to open the season was now staring down a chance at a 3-1 start if they could take care of back-to-back winless teams. …
The Dallas Cowboys found a way to get their first win last Sunday, defeating the New York Giants from start to finish, 20-13. Now at 1-1 and locked in a three way tie for 1st place in the NFC East, Dallas is looking to string together a few victories and create some early separation. Seattle is …
The usually competitive NFC East got off to a shaky start last week, with half the division winning their season opener and the other half falling short. Now entering week 2, the Eagles and Redskins have a chance to begin to distance themselves from the loser of the Cowboys/Giants game, and both of those 0-1 teams …
Arguably the long bright spot from week one’s disappointing loss was the ability of the Cowboys young cornerbacks to shut down the Carolina receivers on the perimeter. In total quarterback Cam Newton threw for only 161 yards on 26 attempts, but his wide outs accounted for just 79 of those total yards. Newly converted full time …
Following a disappointing loss in their season opener, the Dallas Cowboys return home to face the division rival New York Giants. Staring down an 0-2 start which teams rarely recover from, the Cowboys need to defend their home turf and come away with this key divisional victory. Despite their abysmal offensive performance against the Carolina Panthers, Vegas still …
There’s no question the Dallas Cowboys passing game failed as a whole on Sunday in their season opener. But, as usual, everyone is looking to assign the blame to someone in particular. Was it the offensive line? The receivers? The coaching? The quarterback? In reality, it was a little bit of everyone. The stars on the …
Much of the discussion the past few months within the Cowboys fanbase has centered around the amount of turnover on the offense. Gone are veteran pass catchers Dez Bryant and Jason Witten, and in are unproven young guys like Michael Gallup and underperforming vets like Tavon Austin. The idea was that, without a player like Bryant …
November 5th, 2017. The Dallas Cowboys had just asserted their dominance over one of the AFC’s best, the Kansas City Chiefs. Dallas was 5-3 and beginning to get in striking distance of the Eagles, who they’d see at home in two weeks. Around the league the narrative about the 2017 Cowboys was changing from “one year …
