Dallas Cowboys 2017 Season in Review

January 4, 2018

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?

December 29, 2017

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…

December 20, 2017

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…

Conspiracy Theory

November 29, 2017

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…

Despite key injuries, no excuses for loss to Falcons

November 14, 2017

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…

Half Way There: Can the Cowboys catch the division leading Eagles?

November 7, 2017

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…

Cowboys VS Redskins: Don’t blame it on the rain

October 30, 2017

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…

A Kick In the Groin

October 24, 2017

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…

Where has Rico Gathers gone?

October 3, 2017

What is happening with Rico Gathers?  Last year the Cowboys took a chance and drafted the athletic former basketball player, who had not played football since junior high, because of his potential as an offensive weapon.  This year we saw flashes of that potential in the preseason but a concussion suffered in practice has sidelined him indefinitely.  Currently he is wasting away on IR with no indication of when or…
