Tough schedule awaits as Cowboys hit season’s quarter pole

The Dallas Cowboys are nearing the quarter pole of the 2024 season. Technically, it will be exactly one-fourth of the way after the end of the first quarter of next Sunday’s game.

3 Positive Takeaways: Cowboys win over Giants gives some hope

The tension in the air surrounding the Dallas Cowboys can be cut through like a knife through some Texas brisket on a lovely summer evening. Starting the season 1-2 was not in the Cowboys’ plans, and falling to 1-3 on the season with a loss to a team Dak Prescott has defeated 12 straight times as …

How will the Cowboys defensive line change with injuries?

To put it bluntly, the Dallas Cowboys defensive line is absolutely decimated by injuries. Back in training camp, they lost Sam Williams to a torn ACL, and this week both Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence have gone down with serious sprains. #Cowboys DE DeMarcus Lawrence is expected to miss multiple weeks because of the foot injury …

Dallas Cowboys Trade Targets to Cure the Offense

At the start of the season, the Dallas Cowboys’ offensive issues seemed to be stalling drives. A trade could help. The only threats the team seems to have at the skill positions are CeeDee Lamb and Jake Ferguson. One bright spot early on is Hunter Leupke, who seems to be gaining steam as an offensive threat …

The wait between last Sunday and last night felt like an eternity as the Dallas Cowboys reeled from back-to-back defeats against the Saints and Ravens.

This 3-year Cowboys issue still has not been fixed

As if this is to anyone’s surprise, the Dallas Cowboys still have a glaring issue that has been a huge problem for the last three seasons. They can’t stop beating themselves with penalties. It’s getting so hard to watch. The first half of last night’s game was just a joke. The refs have something to do …

Cowboys Legend DeMarcus Ware Sees Something Special in Rookie Micah Parsons

Dallas Cowboys’ gritty win over the Giants comes with a cost

The Cowboys got back in the win column last night with a gritty win over the New York Giants, 20-15. They sure as heck won’t win any style points, but a win is a win, right? First-half touchdowns by Rico Dowdle and CeeDee Lamb really made all the difference. I’m not sure about you, but I …

Dallas Cowboys Irritating Game Against the NY Giants

Irritating. This is one of the many words that can describe this year’s Dallas Cowboys. The Dallas Cowboys versus the New York Giants was a game of attrition. Each team struggled to get any offense going, and the defenses on both sides were below average. There’s hope in the form of key players like Brandon Aubrey, …

Defensively, the Dallas Cowboys are horrific

Defensively, the Dallas Cowboys are horrific, but why? Many fans have been asking themselves this question for the last two weeks. After a fantastic performance against the Cleveland Browns, the Cowboys defense has looked like one of the worst in the league. The games against the New Orleans Saints and, most recently, the Baltimore Ravens have …

Cowboys hoping Giants are the cure to their recent ills

At the beginning of the season, everyone, including myself, circled the fourth-week matchup at New York as an automatic win. As Lee Corso would say: Not so fast, my friend. The Dallas Cowboys are not playing the kind of football that inspires the kind of confidence to talk about “automatic wins” right now. The Giants, also …

 Cowboys own huge advantage in all-time record against Giants

Bold performances will be key to Cowboys’ victory over Giants

The Dallas Cowboys are at 1-2, and in desperate need of a bounce back game after consecutive home losses. It’s not really the fact that they’ve lost two straight.

A few rookie diamonds shine brightly amid Cowboys’ rough performance

Given a second-straight loss was recorded on Sunday, in a game that the Cowboys mostly slept-walked through for the first three quarters, the 2024 rookie class didn’t shine that well. But there were some bright spots. The two rookies starting on the offensive line acquitted themselves well. One rookie managed to play peacemaker between Dallas’ two …

Cowboys’ season could get real ugly, real fast

The talk of the week after being blown out by the New Orleans Saints was Dallas Cowboys HC Mike McCarthy’s track record after a loss. His teams have shown a propensity to bounce back after losses, and that was an expectation against the Baltimore Ravens. John Harbaugh and the Ravens spit on that expectation, coming into …

Dan Quinn is enjoying some early success in the NFC East

Somewhere in the general area of Washington D.C., Dan Quinn is probably still smiling. Somehow, with a rebuilt offense and defense, a new coaching staff, and a rookie starting quarterback Quinn has the Washington Commanders at 2-1. They are also tied for first place in the NFC East. The cherry on top of the parfait is …

Cowboys’ offense showed up too late to save Dallas

For the first 50 minutes of Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens, the Dallas Cowboys’ offense was nearly non-existent. A pair of very long field goals by Brandon Aubrey accounted for all six of Dallas’ points on the scoreboard. In short, it looked as dismal as the previous week’s loss to the Saints. Down 28-6, the …
