We are one day away from the Cowboys Week 14 Monday night matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals. The Dallas Cowboys got some extended rest with a game last Thursday on Thanksgiving against the worst team in football, the Giants, and now an extra day to prepare for Joe Burrow and company. Following back to back wins, …

3 Cowboys free agent targets for the 2025 offseason

3 Cowboys free agent targets for the 2025 offseason

I’m not drinking the Dallas Kool-Aid quite yet after two straight wins. With their starting quarterback out, an array of injuries, and a lackluster roster, the real focus should be on the future. The Cowboys free agent plan in 2025 is bigger than wins right now. We all remember how badly the 2024 free agency period …

Zack Martin: Is this the end for a Cowboys legend?

Zack Martin: Is this the end for a Cowboys legend?

Zack Martin may soon be retired. The current longest-tenured Cowboy, Martin has led a Hall of Fame career, totaling nine Pro Bowl selections, seven All-Pro nods, and being named a member of the All-2010s team. In 2024, the 34-year-old was still playing at a high level, though a drop-off was noticeable. For those reasons, and because …

This should be the Cowboys’ offensive line going forward

As sad as it was for the Dallas Cowboys to think that Zack Martin’s departure due to injury a few weeks back was the end of his career, it might have been a blessing in disguise. The Cowboys’ running game has suddenly come to life since Martin went down. But a new right guard isn’t the …

1 Group can Revive the Cowboys Playoff Hopes

One group on the Dallas Cowboys football team can revive the playoff hopes for the team. The Philadelphia Eagles are atop the division at 10-2, while the Washington Commanders are in second place with a record of 8-5.

3 Cowboys players fighting for their future role in Dallas

After that Thanksgiving Day win over the Giants, Dallas sits at 5-7. It is an improvement after being just 3-7, but the Cowboys players must know the future of this season is grim; what really matters now is the 2025 season. What does that mean for certain players? They must ace their “audition” to have a …

Cowboys lose 2 defenders to injury, including promising rookie

I hope everyone out there enjoyed Thanksgiving with their families. I hope the food was delicious, the company was pleasant, and every person in the house was happy after a Dallas Cowboys victory. Never mind that one aunt who brings yet another boyfriend to dinner who just happens to hate the Dallas Cowboys. He might be …

Criticized Cowboys draft class is making a resurgence in 2024

From the moment their names were called, the 2023 Dallas Cowboys draft class was hammered with criticism from the fanbase. Another Michigan defensive lineman? A tight end in the second round? The buzz was nothing but negative post-draft. You don’t need me to tell you that the draft week complaints only ramped up when the season …

Week 13 Injury Report: Cowboys Medical Staff is Working Overtime

The Dallas Cowboys medical staff has been working hard with this team. As the final injury report was published, 17 players were listed. The number of players hurt on this team is absurd, and the fact that this coaching staff and team can win with this patchwork team is a testament to its resiliency. Several star …

Cowboys’ defense has no excuses against Commanders in Week 12

The Dallas Cowboys’ defense enters Week 12 as one of the most disappointing units in the entire NFL. They have given up the most rushing touchdowns, rank in the bottom five in rushing yards allowed, and rank second to last in allowed yards per completion. This defense was poised for a big season but never came …

Cowboys could welcome back up to 3 key players vs Commanders

As the Dallas Cowboys (3-7) gear up to take on the Washington Commanders (7-4), one can’t help but think about how the story of the season has been the litany of injuries to the Cowboys’ starting lineup.

It is time to turn the offensive keys over to this player

After another blowout home loss, this time at the hands of the Houston Texans 34-10, this team is no longer playing for the playoffs, but rather playing for a maybe a top five draft pick. Rush dropped back 55 times last night, a ridiculous number for a career backup quarterback, and completed just 58% of his …

Navy & Silver Linings: A few bright spots in an otherwise gloomy performance 1

With 2024 a lost season, what lies ahead?

After last Sunday’s blowout loss to the Eagles, barring a miraculous turnaround, the 2024 season is a lost cause for the Dallas Cowboys. Monday night’s game against the Texans is shaping up to be Dallas’ fifth home loss. At 3-7, the Cowboys would seemingly be all but officially eliminated from the playoffs. Prior to today’s games, …

At long last, Cowboys fans have gotten the answer they have wanted for months at the running back position. During his Thursday press conference, Head Coach Mike McCarthy made it clear that Rico Dowdle is the RB1 going forward. Dowdle, 26, has been Dallas’ best running back by far throughout the 2024 campaign. Despite this, the …

Can CeeDee Lamb save the Cowboys’ offense in Week 11?

It is no secret that the Dallas Cowboys offense looks as bad as they ever have right now. With Dak Prescott out and a depleted roster overall, the Cowboys will look to All-Pro Wide Receiver, CeeDee Lamb, to carry the load against the Texans in Week 11. Last week’s bout with the Philadelphia Eagles was the …
