A Dallas Cowboys football blog

A person in sports attire, perhaps a nod to the Cowboys during their final season, wears a baseball cap and covers their face with one hand.

This outcome could be the final nail in Dallas’ 2024 coffin

Today’s game against the Carolina Panthers all but screams “Trap Game” for the Dallas Cowboys. Especially now that the team is at 5-8 for the season and likely with no chance to make the playoffs. They have to win out and that just to finish above .500. The loss of DeMarvion Overshown for the rest of …

Cowboys sign former 4th round pick after rash of injuries

The Dallas Cowboys are in the midst of a lost season. It’s a strange feeling to be looking towards the draft in mid-December, but the team’s ineptitude and sloppy play on the field have put us in this situation. Of course, many factors go into how a season goes for an NFL team, and the Cowboys …

One Player the Cowboys Fear on the Team

The one player the Cowboys fear is on their roster. The fear may be warranted after what has happened in the past with the position. The Dallas Cowboys quarterback room is very low on star power, and the current starter has little athleticism. Cooper Rush is a good backup quarterback but should not be used for …

If you’ve unplugged from the media coverage of this Cowboys season, you may be under the assumption that a head coaching search this offseason is a near certainty.

Cowboys linebacker room looks bleak for 2025

The Cowboys are thin at linebacker this season, and that shows with only six players listed on their depth chart. Dallas was thin at linebacker last season as well, and to remedy that this offseason, they signed veterans Eric Kendricks and Nick Vigil, and drafted Marist Liufau in the 3rd round of the 2024 NFL Draft. …

What will Mike McCarthy's Cowboys offense look like?

As a play-caller, Mike McCarthy needs to keep doing 1 thing

The Dallas Cowboys offense started the first half and the second half hot, scoring touchdowns on the first drive of both. Dallas was only able to score 10 points in the first half against the worst defense in football, and 10 in the second half, and lost 27-20. Yes, a special teams blunder probably cost them …

Coming into tonight’s game, both teams find themselves in playoff mode with five weeks left and looking to avoid elimination with a loss.

Dallas must do something they’ve never done before

In the 64 previous NFL seasons they’ve completed, there is one thing the Dallas Cowboys have never done. They’ve never been 5-7 and rallied to make the playoffs.
