Comparing Dak Prescott and Tony Romo
The recent airing of Tony Romo’s “A Football Life” from NFL Films on the NFL network has rekindled the ongoing dispute between Tony Romo loyalists and Dak Prescott truthers.

When Prescott was named the starter and Romo subsequently retired in 2017…
The future of Sean Lee with the Dallas Cowboys

Should the Dallas Cowboys have attempted to land Josh Gordon?
From the time it was announced that Josh Gordon was going to be released by the Cleveland Browns on social media, Cowboy fans had been in a frenzy of excited anticipation over the possibility of adding a talented pass catcher to help the anemic offense.

Role of special teams as big a factor in week 1 loss as poor offense
The poor performance of the Dallas Cowboys offense was well documented in the Dallas Cowboys week 1 loss to the Carolina Panthers. The offense was the major concern following the departures of Dez Bryant and Jason Witten in the offseason coupled with the lack of depth at offensive line (mainly the absence of Pro-Bowl center Travis Frederick). Cowboy fans and members of the national media have had little faith in…
The Dallas Cowboys: Jason Garrett and the culture of dysfunction
The Dallas Cowboys started off the 2018 season on the wrong foot with a loss on the road against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. The Cowboys defense played pretty well but Carolina had the upper hand on special teams and the Cowboys offense was just plain awful.
