Perfect no longer. The Eagles’ run of narrow escapes in 2023 finally came to an end this week. That they were eventually going to lose was never in doubt. That they would lose to the New York Jets was something of a shocker. The Cowboys took full advantage. Dallas’ 20-17 win over the Chargers pulls them …
With the Cowboys playing on Monday night, this week’s Monday Morning Quarterback was delayed a day. It was worth the wait if you ask me. It wasn’t a blowout, and it wasn’t easy. But at least it was a win and one Dallas badly needed. The Cowboys’ offense got just enough done and the defense stepped …
The Dallas Cowboys emerged victorious with a 20-17 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers in the Kellen Moore Bowl on Monday night. Dallas faced off against their former offensive coordinator for the first time at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. The Cowboys needed a solid bounce-back game after the debacle last week in San Francisco. They …
The Cowboys will play on a Monday for the 86th time tonight when the face the Los Angeles Chargers. Of the previous 85 games Dallas has 50 wins against 35 losses. They’ve won their last three Monday night games. The last time the Cowboys lost on a Monday night came at home in 2020 against Arizona. …
The Dallas Cowboys will have today off. They’ll likely be watching some of the NFL action along with the rest of us. When they take the field at SoFi Stadium on Monday night they’ll bring along a 31-25 record in Week 6 games. They’ve had six bye weeks fall on the sixth week of the schedule …
While Bob Lilly has long been known as “Mr. Cowboy”, the Dallas Cowboys had an actual cowboy on their roster for nine years. Walt Garrison spent his off-seasons on the rodeo circuit. It was a hobby that the Cowboys frowned on. But Garrison managed to be a successful rodeo cowboy. As well as a critical piece …
When it comes to the Dallas Cowboys’ fantasy numbers in Week 5 only one word applies: Forgettable. KaVontae Turpin led the Cowboys in fantasy points for the week. Turpin posted around 13 points depending on scoring formats. And, of course, he got hurt and will miss at least the next month with a high ankle sprain. …
There was very little – if anything at all – positive to come out of Sunday night’s “Slaughter in San Francisco”. The Cowboys were bludgeoned on both sides of the ball. No single player had much to crow about after the game. About the only player who did play a perfect game was one of the …
The Philadelphia Eagles are off to a 5-0 start. While I remain unconvinced they are as good as their record, they are 5-0. They are also now two full games ahead of the Dallas Cowboys and three up on the Commanders. The Giants are shrinking away so fast they’ll be officially renamed the Gnats starting next …
Well, Cowboys Fan, how are you feeling this morning after the 42-10 beatdown you just watched? Mad? Angry? A word we really can’t use because kids might be reading this? How about fed up? Are we fed up with a franchise that finally shows signs of “getting it” only to fold in the big games? How …
The Cowboys will face the 49ers tonight in the fifth week of the NFL season. Dallas’ history on this week in the schedule is not great. Overall, Dallas is 33-25-2 in Week 5 contests. They’ve had two bye weeks fall on Week 5 (2011 and 2012) and had one game scratched due to the 1982 strike. …
Aside from the first half against Arizona two weeks ago, the Dallas Cowboys have been one of the league’s best teams. The Cowboys have given up just 41 points this year, lowest among all the NFL teams. But 21 of them came in that half against the Cardinals. Dallas’ offense has scored 96 of the team’s …
The Dallas defense was poised to be the top-scoring defense in fantasy football again in Week 4. The unit topped the NFL in Week 1. Then the Seattle Seahawks said “Hold my beer” on Monday night against the Giants. Still, two defensive touchdowns, a pick-six, two sacks, and holding the opponent to just three points was …
Brandon Aubrey continues to be “Aubreymatic” in the kicking game for the Cowboys. T.J. Bass played a solid game as a reserve offensive lineman. And Hunter Luepke even found the endzone on a red zone rushing play. All-in-all a solid afternoon’s work for the Cowboys’ 2023 undrafted free agent rookies. For the second-straight week the trio …
The NFC East nearly ended the fourth week of the NFL season back in a three-way tie for first place. For now Philadelphia sits alone on top. A rare conservative call by Washington Commanders’ Head Coach Ron Rivera allowed the Eagles to escape with a victory. After scoring with no time left on the clock, “Riverboat” …
With the first quarter of the season in the books, the Dallas Cowboys can feel good about their current position. At 3-1, Dallas is a game out of first in the NFC East. While the Eagles are 4-0, they could just as easily be 1-3 instead. Riverboat Ron Rivera passed up a chance for the Commanders …
I imagine the mood around The Star in Frisco last week was dark and stormy. The defense played a terrible game against Arizona. The offense moved the ball up and down the field until they got inside the Cardinals’ 10 then flamed out. Back home on Sunday, the Cowboys played like a team on a mission. …
Coming off a disappointing effort in last week’s loss in Arizona, the Cowboys look to extend a winning streak today. The Cowboys come into today with a 32-24 record overall in Week 4 contests. Dallas has also won its last two Week 4 games. Dallas is 16-9 at home overall, leaving them a 16-15 road record …
As the Cowboys near the quarter pole of the 2023 NFL season there already is some concern regarding their drafted rookies. Following the draft back in April, Dallas looked to have had a solid draft. They addressed needs on the defensive line and at tight end. They even had the feel-good story of the draft by …
Well, if you stared any of the Cowboys – with the exception of Tony Pollard and Michael Gallup – you had a bad week. If you had any of the Miami Dolphins’ players on offense, you had a great week. And, if you are like me and played teams with Dolphins’ players on the roster….oof. In …
The bottom line: No one wearing the Blue Star walked off the field Sunday feeling good about themselves. Of the 11 rookies on the Cowboys’ 53-man roster only two had anything positive to point to in the box score. That’s not saying much. The Cowboys’ third round pick — linebacker DeMarvion Overshown (Texas) — is out …
