2017 Dallas Cowboys Season Archives

Is Surtain certain to become a Cowboy? One Cowboys legend certainly hopes so.

March 27, 2021

Dallas Cowboys HOF WR Michael Irvin interviewed Alabama CB prospect Patrick Surtain II on The Michael Irvin Podcast which is available on PodcastOne. The two of them talked the draft, Nick Saban, and discussed a potential reunion with a former college teammate in the NFL. Here is a quick excerpt from “the Playmaker’s” chat with Patrick Surtain II. Patrick Surtain II is a popular selection in Mock Drafts for the Dallas Cowboys…

Why Cowboy fans should root for the Eagles in the Super Bowl.

Is there anything more annoying than hearing Eagles fans squawk? Probably not, and I have had to endure more than my fair share of it during Philadelphia’s unlikely run to the Super Bowl this year. As a Cowboy fan, I hate a lot of teams, but none more than the Eagles. Not the Steelers, not the Patriots, not the Giants and not even the Redskins. To me, Philly is public…

Dallas Cowboys 2017 Season in Review

The Dallas Cowboys 2017 Season had its highs and lows but ultimately was a disappointment in the eyes of most fans. Expectations were high after finishing 13-3 in 2016 and earning the #1 seed in the NFC, but the Cowboys ended up 9-7 and more importantly failed to make the postseason. You can blame it on coaching, a difficult schedule, the Elliott suspension, Dak’s regression or the young defense but…

Should the Cowboys be resting their starters?

After losing to the Seahawks last week, the Dallas Cowboys are out of the playoffs and have nothing to play for in week 17 against the Eagles. Tyron Smith and Orlando Scandrick have been placed on season ending IR and are therefore ruled out but Jason Garrett has gone on record saying that all players who are healthy will play this week. Is this the right decision? There is certainly…

The Cowboys have been eliminated from the playoffs and the 2017 season is effectively over. It was a shame because everything was falling into place with the Lions and Falcons losing in week 16 and Dallas had an opportunity to control their own destiny. Unfortunately one of the best defensive performances of the season was squandered and the Cowboys found a way to lose to Seattle. There is plenty…

Biggest Cowboy Pro Bowl Snub?

The rosters for the 2018 Pro-Bowl were announced today and 4 players from the Dallas Cowboys were selected. The usual suspects on the offensive line, Tyron Smith, Travis Frederick and Zack Martin will represent the Dallas offense. On the defensive side of the ball DE DeMarcus Lawrence was the only player chosen on the strength of his 13.5 sacks. Every single one of these players deserves to be selected but…

Alive and Kicking!

It wasn’t pretty, but the Cowboys escaped Oakland with a huge “W” and just barely kept their fading playoff hopes alive. They had some lucky breaks and benefitted from some generous calls (including a now infamous folded piece of paper used to measure for a first down) but a win is a win in the NFL. I am not going to complain, after all without the “Tuck Rule” and a…

Which Dallas Cowboys deserve to go to the Pro Bowl?

December 14, 2017

The Pro-Bowl has become more of a popularity contest than an accurate gauge of how well a player has performed in a given season. Name recognition and players that benefit from playing in larger markets have led to some less than deserving players getting the pro-bowl nod while the list of pro-bowl snubs seems to grow year after year. When Pro-bowl voting concludes tomorrow there is no doubt that several…

Are the Cowboys better off with or without Garrett?

December 5, 2017

First and foremost, let’s get one thing out of the way. If Jason Garrett does get fired at the end of the season, the Cowboys will not replace him with a big name proven commodity. John Gruden and Tony Dungy are both seated firmly in the broadcaster’s booth. The last time the Cowboys made a big splash like that, even the great Bill Parcells failed to win a…
