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.

Well, Cowboys Nation, here we are again on a Monday talking about what the Dallas Cowboys could have done better to secure a victory.

Dak Prescott injured in Cowboys Week 9, 27-21 defeat vs Falcons
It’s hard to characterize that Cowboys Week 9 game as anything but the same old 2024 story. They had their chances, they could have won, and yet they slowly took it away from themselves.

1 Agonizing Issue the Cowboys have is…
The Dallas Cowboys most agonizing issue isn’t personnel or coaching. Well, maybe it is coaching, but it is a persistent problem that has plagued the team for years.

The Dallas Cowboys Running Backs are the Worst
One area of the Dallas Cowboys that is the worst in the NFL is the running backs, and there seems to be no help on the horizon. It is not the owner/general manager, but that is probably a close second or possibly first, depending on who you ask. The Cowboys are the worst team in the …
