It has been an up and down season for the Dallas Cowboys here in 2025. Sitting at 6-6-1 with slim odds of making the postseason, Brian Schottenheimer’s first year as the Cowboys head coach has felt solid, but still lacking.

Let’s be clear, the Cowboys record as of today has very little to do with the lack of Cowboys offense, but one glaring issue has continued to crop up over the last four games. In those games, the Cowboys offense has put up a combined total of 118 points (29.5 PPG). But one area of concern is how often this...

If last week’s loss told us anything other than the Dallas Cowboys defense is still not good, it is that Dallas has another wide receiver outside CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens that they should trust.

Ryan Flournoy had a breakout game against the Detroit Lions last Thursday, and with Jalen Tolbert on an expiring contract, the Cowboys won’t have to do much thinking this offseason.

Flournoy had a total of 13 targets, his most since week five against the New York Jets, and yes, 42 of his 115 yards came on one play, but Tolbert had three years to figure...

The Dallas Cowboys lost to the Detroit Lions last week and as a result they have a little bit more work to do with regards to making the playoffs. Thanks to the Los Angeles Chargers, that work appears less daunting than it did on Monday morning, but if the version of Dallas that went to the Motor City is what shows up for the rest of the season then it isn’t going to matter much.

For the most part the NFL is a week-to-week league and this week there are some concerns from across the internet as far as how...

Sports fans in Indianapolis were forced to watch another one of their athletes end a season prematurely with an Achilles injury.

After watching Tyrese Haliburton tear his Achilles tendon earlier this year during the NBA Playoffs, fans in Indianapolis were forced to watch Colts QB Daniel Jones suffer the same fate.

In a tough division loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Colts might have watched their playoff hopes go down the drain when Jones fell to the turf.

With Anthony Richardson sitting on Injured Reserve, rookie Riley Leonard was thrust into the jaguars’ den, but had little success.

Never fear,...

There are four more games promised on this Dallas Cowboys season. While the team has frustrated us at a lot of points this year, certainly last Thursday night, we should hold these close to our heart as the offseason can be long.

Maybe that doesn’t sound appealing to you. It makes sense that you want to see this team reach the playoffs and that them potentially not doing so in consecutive seasons (for what would be the first time since 2019-2020) is the overpowering sentiment. There is no wrong way to feel here.

As we look to the rest of...

I’m not someone who believes in curses, ghosts, witchcraft, or supernatural forces deciding football games.

After watching the Dallas Cowboys for the last 30 years, the highs, the heartbreaks, the collapses that always seem to arrive right on schedule. I can’t lie: sometimes it feels like this team is fighting more than X’s and O’s.

I’m not saying the Cowboys are literally cursed, but I am saying this franchise plays like a team that’s been trying to break one since 1996.

Let me explain exactly why and see what you think.

The Post-1995 Pattern Is Impossible to Ignore ---------------------------------------------...

Every week, we gather to discuss the latest news about the Dallas Cowboys and seek our writer’s perspective on each headline. Welcome back to the roundtable. This week we have David Howman, Sean Martin, and Tom Ryle.

Have all playoff hopes diminished after the Detroit loss? Or do you still have a small bit of hope?

Mike: You’re talking to Mr. Positive here so the way to put this is the Cowboys playoff hopes aren’t dead, but they’re on life support. The path to postseason hopes are very narrow. The team has to stack wins immediately, literally zero losses...

Cowboys’ Schottenheimer: ‘Personnel adjustments’ coming for this struggling unit – Todd Brock, The Cowboys Wire

The Cowboys kickoff coverage unit is really poor this year.

The Cowboys’ kickoff coverage, however, is struggling mightily. They’re making life significantly harder for the Dallas defense before they even take the field, having given up the fourth-most kickoff return yards in the league so far this year. It was especially problematic versus Detroit in Week 14, with the unit allowing 261 yards on eight kick returns.

On those eight kickoffs, the Lions‘ average starting field position was their own 36.5-yard...

The Pittsburgh Steelers have a history of trading away apparent star wide receivers. George Pickens to Dallas was just the latest example.

Pittsburgh is almost always proven right in doing so.

On Thursday night, Pickens may have finally shown why the Steelers unloaded him during the spring.

He seemed disinterested in running routes. He also seemed angry at times.

Pickens (lack of) effort on Thursday is perfectly shown in this compilation:

That isn’t the look you want to see from arguably the best receiver on your team. Especially after CeeDee Lamb goes down with a concussion.

A Solid Start...

The Dallas Cowboys lost to the Detroit Lions on Thursday night, but they were able to pick up some help on Monday night to make it hurt a little bit less. Shout out to the Los Angeles Chargers for beating the Philadelphia Eagles. Seriously. This is huge. It took overtime, but it happened!

The Cowboys’ loss to Detroit coupled with the little bit of help (being generous) they received across the rest of Week 14 made their hopes of a Wild Card spot seem all the more improbable. There is a strong argument to be made that the most probable...

This game between the Eagles and the Chargers will have huge implications on Dallas’ fading playoff hopes. Go Bolts.

This is an open thread for game chat.

The 44-30 loss to the Detroit Lions last week hasn’t mathematically eliminated the Dallas Cowboys from the playoffs, but the chances of sneaking in are extremely slim. With the 2025 NFL season all but over for them, it might be time to start focusing a little more on the future of the organization. That means identifying priorities like maybe extending George Pickens and any other pending free agents who are in their future plans.

It’s nearly impossible to know which pending free agents the Cowboys brass plan to prioritize in a few weeks when the 2025 NFL regular-season comes to...
