Cowboys roundtable discussion: Playoff chances, Matt Eberflus, and the Chargers game

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 Sean Martin, Jess Haynie and Tom Ryle.

The Cowboys have to win out, the Eagles have to lose out for Dallas to make the playoffs. Do we see that happening?

Mike: Short answer here is it’s alive, but it’s a parlay I’d never bet. Winning out is hard enough, asking the Eagles to simultaneously lose out multiplies the improbability across every remaining week. Could it happen? Sure, football is...

9 coaches who would make the Cowboys defense better in 2026

9 coaches who would make the Cowboys defense better in 2026

After Sunday night’s loss to the Vikings, the Cowboys are all but eliminated from the playoffs. Dak Prescott even admitted as much. Understandably, all the ire has turned to Matt Eberflus yet again, and Jerry Jones even seemed to make room for the possibility of making a defensive coordinator change once the season wraps up.

That decision would be easy to justify, too. While Eberflus has produced really good defenses throughout his career, it hasn’t been good in Dallas. The Cowboys enjoyed a brief boost in efficiency after the trade deadline, but it quickly fell apart, and they’re back to...

Cowboys 2025 rookie report: Rookie class feel the heat against Minnesota

The Dallas Cowboys hopes of making the playoffs faded dramatically this week after the loss at home against Minnesota.

Right move for the Cowboys to play starters in the final 3 games?

Right move for the Cowboys to play starters in the final 3 games?

Jerry Jones has gotten his fair share of words after the loss to the Vikings on Sunday night, and one thing he touched on was the outlook for the final three games now that Dallas only has a 1% chance to make the playoffs.

Speaking with 103TheFan this morning, Jones touched on a lot of things, including what the plan would be for the final three games of the season.

Let’s just say he is not a fan of trying to tank for a better draft pick.

He said they have no plans to sit starters for a potential better...

Trevon Diggs time in Dallas is coming to an end

Trevon Diggs time in Dallas is coming to an end

It feels like every single week the situation with Trevon Diggs gets more weird.

Diggs said he expected to play against the Minnesota Vikings after a two-month absence from a concussion and a stint on injured reserve with a right knee injury. On Saturday, he was told he would be inactive again.

Yet, after the game, owner and general manager Jerry Jones said, “Diggs isn’t healthy enough to be out there for us. Period.” I don’t know about you, but it really is starting to feel like we may not see Diggs back with Dallas in 2026.

Dallas Cowboys Discussion: Who do you blame the most? Why?

Dallas Cowboys Discussion: Who do you blame the most? Why?

The Dallas Cowboys are all but eliminated from playoff contention in 2025, and if the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Jayden Daniels-less Washington Commanders on Saturday, then they officially will be next time they take the field themselves. Given that Christmas is still over a week away, it is a tough pill to swallow.

We are going to see the Cowboys miss the playoffs in consecutive seasons for the first time since 2019 and 2020 so it has been a minute since they were this bad this consistently. Our discussion prompt for today is pretty simple in this regard: **Who do...

Cowboys vs. Vikings Stock Report: Brian Schottenheimer, Matt Eberflus fail team

Cowboys vs. Vikings Stock Report: Brian Schottenheimer, Matt Eberflus fail team

The Dallas Cowboys were thoroughly outmatched on Sunday night against the Minnesota Vikings, a team that found out just hours before kickoff that their 2025 season was over for all intents and purposes after being eliminated from the playoffs.

Meanwhile, the Cowboys knew before the game that their playoff hopes were clinging to life support. They had to win their final four games, and even if they pulled that off they were not guaranteed anything. Still though, in the name of controlling what you can control, it was their chance to prove that they were ready to fight to the...

Who Cowboys Fans Should Root For to Improve Draft Position

Who Cowboys Fans Should Root For to Improve Draft Position

At this point in the season, I know Cowboys fans are split. Some are still holding onto playoff hopes, and others are already looking ahead to April.

I’m not here to tell anyone how to feel, but if this season continues to slip, I think it’s important to understand how the rest of the league can help Dallas, even if the Cowboys don’t win another game.

If Dallas loses out, draft position becomes the one thing that still matters, and it’s determined by math, not emotion.

If it were emotion, I’m pretty sure Cowboys fans would vault the team up...

Cowboys news: Dak Prescott frustrated by “maybe” opportunities that didn’t come for George Pickens

Dak Prescott explains the frustrating lack of targets to George Pickens in Week 15 loss to the Vikings – Mauricio Rodriguez, A to Z Sports

Two games is enough for a trend, and George Pickens not being involved in two straight losses is a concerning one for the Cowboys offense.

Throughout the week, you heard it all about the Vikings’ aggressive defense led by one of the most blitz-happy defensive coordinators in the NFL, Brian Flores. Leading up to the game, Prescott even reminisced about that one time Flores sent Cover-0 (man coverage, no safety help, 6-7 man...

3 players stand between the MVP award and Dak Prescott

3 players stand between the MVP award and Dak Prescott

It has been 33 seasons since the Dallas Cowboys have celebrated a player on its roster winning the NFL’s regular season MVP award.

Ironically, it had taken the franchise 33 seasons to win its first, and so far only, MVP. Emmitt Smith literally ran away with the award after the 1993 season.

Dak Prescott has made a strong push for the award this year.

However, he has three players standing in his way and all three are in a better position than him to win it after the season ends next month.

Here are the current top four in the...

Vikings sink Cowboys playoff hopes to virtually zero on same day they’re eliminated from contention

It was Week 16 of last season on Sunday Night Football when the Dallas Cowboys, hosting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, were eliminated from postseason contention from the earlier action that Sunday, but still played one of their most inspired games of the season and beat the Bucs 26-24. Here in Week 15 of the 2025 season, the Cowboys were again hosting SNF, this time with playoff hopes slim but in tact, but fell victim to a team in the same circumstance they were last season. Losing 34-26 to a Minnesota Vikings team that was eliminated from playoff contention by the...
