Welcome to the final installment of my Dallas Cowboys season predictions series. Three quarters of the way through the season, the Cowboys will have the NFC East title and a top seed in the NFC in their sights. Big wins over the Detroit Lions, Philadelphia Eagles, and Cincinnati Bengals put the league on notice after many …
Predicting the Dallas Cowboys season results for the 2024 regular season continues today as we highlight weeks 11-14. Week 11 features a showdown with a fellow Texas team, and it might not have the results Cowboys Nation expects. After the first two installments of this series, the Cowboys sit with a 6-3 record with big wins …
The NFC East’s season kicks off tonight when the Eagles host the Packers at 7:15 p.m. Fortunately for me, since I don’t have a Peacock subscription, I don’t have to watch it. But it does mean it’s time for my final prediction post for the upcoming NFC East season. The Cowboys (at Cleveland), the Giants (vs. …
The NFC East nearly went 0-4 in the final week of the 2024 preseason on Sunday. Ironically, it was a former Cowboys player who did it. And he was playing for one of the Cowboys’ division rivals. Martavis Bryant’s four-yard touchdown reception with three minutes left capped the Washington Commanders’ 20-10 win over the Patriots in …
After the first half of the Cowboys-Raiders preseason game on Saturday, it looked like the word of the week was going to be: Anemic. Because the NFC East was looking pretty anemic when it came to the scoreboard in the second week of preseason play. Philadelphia managed only 14 points in their win – needing to …
The first full week of the NFL preseason is in the books. The NFC East exited the week with a 2-2 record. With the lone exception of Washington, most of the expected starters at nearly all of the skill positions rode the bench. That trend is likely to continue into the second week. None of the …
There has not been a division in football that has had more turnover than the NFC East in the last 20 years. The talk of the summer has been how bad the Cowboys front office is, the contract situations with CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott, followed by Micah Parsons’ comments on Twitter. I know I have …
When it comes to coaching staffs in the NFC East, the Dallas Cowboys have arguably the best overall among the top three positions. Mike McCarthy has won a Super Bowl and has led Dallas to three straight 12–5 seasons. Of the division’s head coaches, he’s the only one with a ring. Washington’s Dan Quinn led the …
The Draft is the most highly anticipated event of the offseason, and going into the 2024-2025 season, a lot of first-round picks will have massive impacts on their new teams and may even push those same teams into Super Bowl contention. Read on to break down the top draft picks from this past 2024 NFL Draft …
Every team in the NFC East shares one thing in common — they will start the 2024 season with different offensive lines than those with which they ended the 2023 season. All four teams in the NFL’s NFC East division have large question marks hanging overhead as the season begins. How these changes, in particular, play …
For the most part, the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles have the best rooms at every position in the NFC East. This fact is never more apparent than when the four teams’ receivers rooms are examined. And the difference between Dallas and Philadelphia in this case is razor-thin. At least it was through the 2023 season. …
It isn’t as if the rivalry between the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Commanders needed any extra spice. For what will be a 65th season, the teams have slugged it out. Many times with the divisional title, playoffs and even a trip to the Super Bowl at stake. Back when they were still the Redskins, Washington was …
Dan Quinn has been hired as the new head football coach of the Washington Commanders. Quinn interviewed for an assortment of openings. He was a finalist for both the Seattle Seahawks and Washington. Seattle went with a younger coach in Mike Macdonald. He was the defensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens. Quinn leaving for Washington allows …
The Cowboys’ 41-35 win on Thursday was crucial in many aspects. It was their 14th straight home win. They are also guaranteed a winning season for the third straight year. The Cowboys last did that between the 2016-18 season after not having done it since a five-year run from 2005-09. They are all but certain to …
After dispatching of the Carolina Panthers with impunity, the Dallas Cowboys return home on a short week. The holiday season is here, and with it comes the annual Thanksgiving Day tradition of hosting a game at AT&T Stadium while America drowns their turkey in gravy. This time around the division rival Washington Commanders come to town …
The Cowboys broke open a close game in the span of 10 seconds on Sunday. The Eagles survived their Super Bowl rematch with the Chiefs on Monday night. Combined, both Dallas and Philadelphia are putting a lot of distance between themselves and their NFC East rivals. The Eagles’ 21-17 win keeps them two games ahead of …
The Cowboys’ 32-point blowout win over the Giants – along with the Eagles off and the Commanders losing in Seattle – was the best possible outcome in Week 10. Dallas (6-3) moved to within two games of the idle Eagles (8-1) with the win. They now have a 2.5-game cushion over Washington (4-6). The Giants are …
The Eagles held on for dear life on Sunday and now enjoy a 2.5-game lead in the NFC East over Dallas. The Commanders are 3.5 games back and the fading Giants are six full games behind pace. Philadelphia still has a tough schedule ahead. But they can now afford a couple of losses over the second …
Having their bye last Sunday, the Cowboys knew they were gaining ground on at least one NFC East rival. They were hoping to gain ground on two. Unfortunately, the Eagles had other ideas. Dallas will return to action 1.5 games back of Philadelphia but 1.5 games ahead of Washington. It wasn’t the result they’d hoped for …
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 …
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 …
