Week 5 kicks off with the 49ers visiting the Rams.

This is an open thread for game chat.

For the seventh time in franchise history, a Dallas Cowboys game ended in a tie last Sunday. Dallas played one of the most exciting games in recent memory, ending in a 40-40 stalemate against the Green Bay Packers.

While the Cowboys did some great things in that game, mainly on the offensive side of the ball, there is plenty that needs to be cleaned up if they want to get back on a winning track this week against the New York Jets. With that thought in mind, today we take a look at two players Dallas should use more in...

The New York Jets create an interesting matchup for the Dallas Cowboys in Week 5. Their 0-4 record suggests they are one of the worst teams in the league, however, three of their four losses of come by less than a touchdown and two are by a field goal or less. The Jets are a team who are talented enough to get the Cowboys all they can handle, quite possibly handing them another loss on the season.

There’s certain matchups this week that could sway the game in the Cowboys favor if handled properly or in the Jets favor if...

With a big game coming up this Sunday against the New York Jets, which is winnable, the Dallas Cowboys are facing challenges well before the opening whistle. Needing to win to draw even in the win/loss column, the battle on the field may be less taxing than the one on the trainer’s table. After yesterday’s practice report, there was some real concern around the Cowboys’ offense with so many key injuries. Many prominent players were listed as DNP on Wednesday. Today, only raises more red flags.

The offensive line appears to be hit the hardest by injuries. Tyler Guyton (concussion)...

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Jaydon Blue is reportedly set to make his debut for the team on Sunday against the New York Jets. Buckle up.

The Cowboys drafted Jaydon Blue out of the University of Texas in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft and had him inactive through the first four games of the season. Blue was injured during training camp for full context and Javonte Williams has been running the ball very well, but Blue presents a level of play-making that so many have wanted to see for some time.

At the moment the Cowboys are...

The Dallas Cowboys have a lot to figure out before they can call themselves contenders. And that’s because their defense is bad. They are all out of sorts with players in the wrong spots, and a play-after-play display of chickens with their heads cut off. It’s unsettling.

While improved communication and better awareness of their assignment are reasons to cling to hope for the defense, at least the Cowboys can say their offense is clicking, and clicking quite well. Through four games, they have gained the most yards in the NFL and have put up 114 points, good enough for...

The Dallas Cowboys are projected to hold, barring any future trades, two first-round picks during the 2026 NFL Draft.

Dallas obviously has their own first-round pick, but thanks to the Micah Parsons trade struck with the Green Bay Packers just before the 2025 season began, the Cowboys also hold the Pack’s pick as well. Dallas also received Green Bay’s 2027 first-round pick and defensive tackle Kenny Clark in the deal.

As the 2025 season rolls on we will be tracking the Cowboys’ first-round picks and updating this post every week. It goes without saying that we want Green Bay’s pick...

Brandon Aubrey has been named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Month for September.

The decision comes as no surprise as Aubrey has been absolutely incredible through the first four games of the season. He is a perfect nine of nine on field goal attempts to date, and one of those helped secure a win from 64 yards out as it pushed the Cowboys to an overtime that they (he) ultimately won with another field goal.

Aubrey is one of the most consistent players on the Cowboys but across the entire NFL as well. He is staking his claim...

The first month of the 2025 NFL season is in the books. The Dallas Cowboys are just below .500 with a 1-2-1 record. They’ll have to tighten up on defense to stay in the playoff hunt, but there’s still time left to get that done. Given that, our Week 5 rooting guide remains optimistic of the Cowboys’ chances of making the tournament.

This next game is critical; the Jets are 0-4 and ripe for win total padding. If Dallas can’t take advantage of this matchup, they don’t deserve to be a playoff team. We may shift gears if they flop...

Life is often plagued by mysterious questions. If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Similarly, if a football game ends in a tie, but the Cowboys looked good during it, is it really a reason for optimism?

That’s exactly the question that our own Tom Ryle and David Howman are attempting to dissect right now. Dallas showed some good things in Sunday night’s tie with the Packers, but does it mean anything?

Tom: I have tried to be realistic about the Cowboys this season, especially after the...

The Dallas Cowboys should beat the New York Jets on Sunday. This team has a defense that none of us trust, but ultimately we all likely still believe they should have a happy flight home in a few days.

For what it’s worth, oddsmakers agree as the Cowboys are favorites for the game despite being on the road. Dallas will be away from home next week as well when they visit the Carolina Panthers and early odds have them favored there as well.

This season is still very young, but this presents the first opportunity (given that they are favored...

The Dallas Cowboys went toe-to-toe with one of the top teams in the NFC, and almost got a win. Dak Prescott and the offense were able to put on an all-star performance without their top player, CeeDee Lamb. The outcome would have been different if the defense forced a turnover on downs on just one of the Green Bay Packers’ second-half possessions.

The return of Micah Parsons almost became a secondary storyline with both offenses moving the ball. Even though the narrative was shifting, that didn’t lessen his impact on the field. Even though the game plan on offense was...
