Blog posts and articles from the Dallas Cowboys 2017 Season.
Monday, September 25th 2017, with 11 minutes and 11 seconds left in the 4th quarter against the Arizona Cardinals. That was the last time the Dallas Cowboys benefitted from an offensive holding call. That is no joke, in the 8 games since there have been exactly 0 offensive holding calls against Dallas’ opponents. Coincidentally, during that time the Dallas Cowboys star running back Ezekiel Elliott was involved in a lengthy…
This is a day I have long expected to come. A day that some Cowboys fans have been waiting for. The day that Dak Prescott, our beloved star QB, last season’s rookie sensation 4th round draft pick whose rise to stardom has been one of the greatest stories in the NFL, AND the current and future face of your Dallas Cowboys, is playing poorly. His team is crumbling around him,…
On Sunday night two hated rivals, the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles, will go head to head in a crucial NFC East division battle. The Eagles will be led by 2016 2nd overall draft pick and MVP candidate Carson Wentz. The Cowboys will stand behind 2016 4th round pick and reigning offensive rookie of the year Dak Prescott. This promises to be one of many future classics between the two…
The Cowboys rolled into Atlanta with the odds stacked against them on Sunday. Already without their clutch kicker, superstar running back and All Pro left tackle, they also lost their best defender early in the game. It was a key matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, a team they may be competing against for a wild card spot. The Cowboys had an opportunity to prove themselves to be a legitimate contender…
8 games down and 8 games to go. Currently the Cowboys have a 5-3 record and are 3 games behind the division leading Eagles. The good news is that there is a full half season remaining, including 2 games against the Eagles, and therefore an opportunity to make up some ground. The bad news is two-fold, the Eagles are hot right now and the Cowboys remaining schedule is tough. Here…
The Cowboys were fortunate enough to travel to Washington and a face their age old rival Redskins on a short week and riddled with injuries. Kirk Cousins is a difficult matchup for Dallas’ young secondary but with his offensive line decimated with injuries, and poor weather conditions, the Cowboys were able to stifle the Redskins offense. That was a much needed division win on the road and the Cowboys came…
Who is the most irreplaceable player on the Dallas Cowboys? It is not their best player, star running back Ezekiel Elliott. The Cowboys have played this entire season with the imminent threat of losing him for 6 games to suspension. Fortunately the Cowboys have plenty of depth at the running back position making the loss of Elliott manageable. It is not their best defensive player Sean Lee. The All-Pro did…
The Cowboys offense has not been firing on all cylinders this season and that has exposed the defense. The future is promising with loads of young talent on the roster, but this was never supposed to be the unit the Cowboys would lean on to win games. I am hopeful that in due course the young talent on the roster becomes the core of a Championship defense. This could take…
Five games into the season the Cowboys have a record of 2 wins and 3 losses, and are alarmingly 2 ½ games behind the division leading Eagles. The following is a breakdown, by position, of how I have graded their performance up to this point. Let’s begin with the offence, which is the strength of the team. Since the Cowboys do have a losing record, you can expect the grades…
