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 …

Football players in blue and white uniforms face off at the line of scrimmage during a Dallas Cowboys game.

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 …

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, …

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 …

Cowboys, Play the Man

This is not your average football team with average play. The Dallas Cowboys are so far below average it is comical, given the preseason hype for this team. One of the most comical moves this team made was for a player who has not started a game for the Cowboys, but a good value draft pick …

Cowboys rookie Caelen Carson catches eyes in training camp 1

These rookies shined through a dark day for the Cowboys

Very few of the veteran players had much to point at on the stat sheet after Sunday’s blowout loss to Philadelphia. The 2024 draft class had even less to brag about. But there was a bright spot or two among the rookies. Linebacker Marist Liufau collected one of the Eagles’ two turnovers, recovering a Jalen Hurts’ …

We’re one day away from a Dallas-Philadelphia face-off, and the hype for the game could not be lower. It’s the team’s first game without Dak Prescott, they have fallen to 3rd in the NFC East, and more than a few Cowboys veterans are drastically underperforming. Is there time to turn things around? Sure, but I think …

Which of these 2 players would you rather see going forward?

As the Dallas Cowboys enter week 10 of the NFL season, this is not a question I was hoping to ask so soon, yet here we are! Dak Prescott signed that record-breaking deal just hours before the opening kickoff before the Browns week one. Now, we don’t have a choice but to ask. He will now …

Rookies Report: 2024 class fighting for roster spots

The 1 rookie that showed up in Sunday’s loss

He’d been sidelined for four weeks, recovering from a shoulder injury, but when rookie cornerback Caelen Carson returned to the starting lineup, he showed up. Carson had seven tackles, six solo. Those six solo tackles led the Cowboys in that category. He was certainly one of the bright spots on defense and the brightest of the …

The Cowboys must make a choice at QB, and there is only one right decision

As first reported by ESPN’s Todd Archer, then followed by several other Cowboys’ media members, QB Dak Prescott’s hamstring injury from this past Sunday in Atlanta is worse than expected. After an MRI on Monday morning, the severity of Prescott’s hamstring strain was revealed, and he has already been ruled out for this Sunday’s game versus …
