The tide is turning, though not in a good way. The Cowboys’ latest loss has all but eliminated them from the postseason. The Vikings had been eliminated hours before kickoff, but it didn’t stop them from winning in Dallas. The worst part is that J.J. McCarthy, the de facto rookie quarterback who has struggled mightily this year, had his best game yet.
It’s once again put all the pressure back on defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus and, in some ways, added some pressure to Brian Schottenheimer. A month ago, Schottenheimer doubled down on his coordinator, and he briefly looked like a...

Reality is starting to set in. After the Dallas Cowboys lost yet another home game to a lesser opponent, the Cowboys are starting to realize that their window to make the postseason in 2025 is closing.
The franchise still has to evaluate their roster over the final three games of the season, regardless of whether they make the playoffs or not. Here’s the latest news on the team’s health entering Week 16 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
To start, the Cowboys opened the 21-day practice window for multiple players today. Josh Butler (knee), Phil Mafah (shoulder), and Payton Turner (ribs)...

There’s not much left to root for in the Dallas Cowboys 2025 season. Sure, there is the mathematical possibility of making the playoffs, but the reality is that the season is effectively over and Cowboys Nation turns its lonely eyes to the draft and… free agency? Well, at least the draft part.
We’re going to ask you if you are confident in the direction of the team. Most weeks we ask this, it’s just a reflection of how the team is doing in that week. Wins create a rise in confidence, losses create a dip. But now, with so little...

Booker’s Week 15 tape against Minnesota looked as though he was a stabilizing force. In pass protection, the simplest stat tells the story: Dallas surrendered two sacks, but none were credited to Booker. As a run blocker, Booker had a tougher assignment but held up. Dallas still ran it 30 times for 138 yards, so there were lanes...

Well, after the Cowboys took care of the Eagles and Chiefs, most of us thought this team had a chance to win the NFC East, but after the loss to the Vikings, the vibe now feels a lot different.
With pretty much all hope off the table with the Eagles only needing to win one game over the last three weeks to win the division, I am sure this team will look like the best team in football again because they have no expectations.
Below you will see the game info, and the betting line for a Cowboys team that...

The Matt Eberflus experiment with the Dallas Cowboys sounds like it’s reaching a crossroads moment to end the season. During his weekly interview with Shan & RJ of 105.3 The Fan, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was particularly blunt with how disappointed he’s been with the defense this season.
Ever since Week 2, when the Cowboys welcomed the New York Giants to AT&T Stadium, almost every team Dallas has faced has been a “get right game” for their offense. When Eberflus came in to replace Mike Zimmer, the Jones’ were hoping they were getting the same hot-name coach who left...

The Green Bay Packers lost to the Denver Broncos this past weekend to close the gap between themselves and hopeful Wildcard teams in the chase for the postseason.
Green Bay currently sits with a 9-4-1 record, and is clinging to that final Wildcard spot headed into Week 16.
Despite the loss to the Broncos, that wasn’t the Packers’ biggest loss that day.
Superstar EDGE Micah Parsons, who was having an All-Pro season, was lost to a non-contact injury to his left knee that results have since shown is a torn ACL.
Parsons’ season is over, and on the same day...

The Dallas Cowboys are at home once again this week and this time playing host to the Los Angeles Chargers. They are still in search of their first win since Thanksgiving Day, putting themselves in an even more intense bind relative to their playoff aspirations.
In order for the Cowboys to reach the playoffs they must win out and have the Philadelphia Eagles lose out. This would give Dallas the NFC East title which is their only possible entry at this juncture. Unfortunately, the Eagles play the Washington Commanders on Saturday so the Cowboys could be eliminated before their own...

The Dallas Cowboys have a problem. That is putting it lightly.
Defense has been an issue from just about the start of the season for the Cowboys. Football is a team sport and the offense has fallen short in certain moments as well, but it is hard to argue that a more proper defense would have this team in contention for a playoff spot as opposed to on the outside looking in.
In seasons like this there is often a necessary fall guy for the chaos encircling a football team and this franchise is likely going to be no different...

The Dallas Cowboys lost a must-win game and as a result the NFL world has just about moved on. There are three weeks left in the regular season, but the Cowboys could theoretically be fully eliminated from playoff contention the next time they step on a field for one (if the Eagles win on Saturday). It stinks.
It isn’t just that the Cowboys lost last week that is deflating, it is the way that they did so. They were uninspired in a moment that required their absolute best. That is never what you want to see in a moment of...

We all know the Cowboys lack a defensive identity, and that is a problem that needs to be fixed after the season.
This isn’t just a bad season. What I’ve watched is a defense that never knows what it wants to be. There is no calling card and no offense feared anything this defense has thrown at them.
The defensive leadership has failed on multiple fronts. From playing in a scheme that doesn’t match the personnel, to adding big names to the front four and still not stopping the run.
I don’t want the next hire to be only about...
