The Dallas Cowboys offense did their job to secure another victory in the Week 6 matchup with the Carolina Panthers, but unfortunately their defense was a liability that led to the 30-27 loss. With this loss the Cowboys moved to 2-3-1 on the season and still have a lot a really tough games ahead of them on the schedule. It still pretty early to suggest there season is circling the drain, but unless a defense improves things could be heading that direction.

This Week 6 matchup shaped up to be a tough one from the beginning for the Cowboys. The...

A little more football discussion for your Sunday if you’re up for it after that loss today. Lions at Chiefs.

This is an open thread for game chat.

Matt Eberflus had tremendous success during his stint as the Dallas Cowboys linebacker coach. Sean Lee thrived under him. Anthony Hitchens and Damien Wilson became legitimate role players thanks to his teachings. We all (speaking generally here) wanted him to have the defensive coordinator title in an official sense in those days, but the Cowboys held strong in keeping Rod Marinelli.

Times are tough for Eberflus’ defense right now and no one is here to cast stones. We are simply here to look at how we got to this point and where it all started.

The front office holds blame...

Rico Dowdle ran for over 200 yards last week against the Miami Dolphins. When he was asked about his performance after the fact, he noted that his old team in the Dallas Cowboys had better “buckle up” with regards to facing him with his new team in the Carolina Panthers.

Sunday came. The Cowboys were not buckled up.

Dowdle finished Sunday’s Panthers win with 30 carries (also the number of points Carolina scored) for 183 yards. He also had 4 receptions for 56 yards and a score. He lived up to the shot he called in every possible way.

When...

Mike Nolan may be sprucing up his résumé right about now, because Cowboys fans may just welcome him back following Sunday’s defensive meltdown.

The Cowboys came into Carolina as slight favorites, and for good reason. Their offense has been one of the very best in the league, the defense showed improvements a week ago against the Jets, and the Panthers simply aren’t that good. However, they’re undefeated at home this year, and that trend continued Sunday.

Dallas went three-and-out on their opening drive, but clicked into gear after that. A field goal on their second drive was followed up by...

The Dallas Cowboys went on the road for the second consecutive week looking for a win. The Cowboys offense scored points but was let down by a leaking defense that had no answer, and some questionable play calls in the fourth quarter. But what did social media have to say as the game unfolded?

The Cowboys start off slow.

The Dallas Cowboys traveled to Charlotte, North Carolina, to take on the Panthers in a battle of the blues that could bring the Cowboys’ record above the .500 mark.

First Quarter Snooze Fest

The Dallas Cowboys’ offense started this game stale with an opening drive that accounted for a total of six yards and a Bryan Anger punt.

In true Dallas Cowboys defensive fashion, the Carolina Panthers offense, led by Bryce Young, picked apart the Cowboys’ defense with Rico Dowdle and tight end Mitchell Evens.

The defense was able to put a damper on the Panthers in the...

The Panthers won the toss and deferred which put the Cowboys offense on the field first.

It was a rather quick possession as Dallas went three and out. Certainly not an ideal start.

Rico Dowdle’s first run went for 9 yards which was notable given his “buckle up” comment ahead of the game and his history with the Cowboys. His second run was also sizable which made things feel tenuous.

Dowdle had 3 carries for 29 yards and a reception for 13 more on Carolina’s opening possession. Thankfully the Cowboys were able to make a stand as it neared the...

The Cowboys can get a win streak going with a victory over the Panthers.

This is an open thread for game chat.

The Cowboys are gearing up for their latest game, a road trip to Carolina to face the Panthers, who have not lost at home yet this season. Now, with just over an hour until kickoff, we know who will and won’t be suiting up for today’s action.

The biggest news from the inactive list is who’s not on it: Tyler Guyton and Tyler Smith. The left tackle and left guard both missed last week with injuries, though Smith was technically active. The Cowboys managed to play well without them, but they’re surely happy to have the two Tyler’s back on...

Dallas Cowboys guard Tyler Smith is going to play on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, per ESPN’s Todd Archer.

Smith, who signed a long-term extension with the Cowboys a few weeks back, missed last Sunday’s game on the road against the New York Jets. Technically speaking he suited up, but he has been dealing with an ankle issue and was only dressed for emergency purposes as the Cowboys have been down a number of offensive linemen to date. Thankfully, he did not have to enter the game and that likely helped him recover.

Smith is one of the best interior...
