Week 9 kicks off with the Ravens and the Dolphins.

This is an open thread for game chat.

The NFL trade deadline is Tuesday, November 4th and it feels safe to say that we all expect the Dallas Cowboys to do something.

An argument can be made that the Cowboys would be best served to be sellers at the deadline. Within this idea lies the uncomfortable notion of trading away someone like George Pickens. Pickens is a wonderful player and trading him would significantly hurt this season’s team, but this season’s team has sort of sealed their own fate. With Pickens in a contract year and the Cowboys have a, um, history with situations like that, this is...

There’s been quite a bit of talk about the Dallas Cowboys potentially be interested in trading for this player or that prior to the NFL trade deadline on November 4 in order to help improve their defensive performance this year. While it’s always fun to speculate as to which new toy they could potentially add via trade, we’re taking the opposite approach today and looking at a handful of players they could consider trading away.

This, of course, is all speculation as there hasn’t been any kind of rumblings within the organization or outside of it, but we decided to...

After watching the Dallas Cowboys for the first eight games of the season, it’s become clear that they need help. The team has been beaten up all throughout the season to the point where their injury report looks as long as a CVS receipt. Injuries to the offensive line, cornerback, and linebacker have led to a disjointed football team that lacks cohesion on the field and is desperately clinging to remain in the postseason picture.

Facing an Arizona Cardinals team that has gotten the better of them in seven of their last eight meetings, the Cowboys need to have all...

The bye week is coming up for the Dallas Cowboys which means they will have the week off. You should think about taking the week for yourself, too.

If you are looking for a place or opportunity to kick up your feet, relax, and have a good time then you should consider Bye Week at the Beach at TradeWinds Resort in St. Pete Beach, Florida. You will find yourself in the company of Merril Hoge, Thomas Everett, and Ernie Mills if you choose to do so!

Dallas Cowboys

Tyler Booker (OG)

First Round

Booker walks into an Arizona front that wins with group effort rather than with one wrecking ball. Defensive coordinator Nick Rallis loves to bring A-gap heat with twists designed to pry open the B-gap. That’s the real stressor for a right guard, it’s not the first punch, but the second and third. Expecting Josh Sweat and Calais Campbell...

The Dallas Cowboys play Monday Night football this week back at home at Jerry World, a place where Kyler Murray has NEVER lost a football game.

Murray is a perfect 9-0 at AT&T Stadium.

He has not played the last two games for the Cardinals, but after they had their bye week, is on track to be ready to go against Dallas this coming Monday.

Not a great sign for the Dallas defense, they have made every single quarterback that has played them look like the MVP of the league, and Murray has yet to lose at AT&T Stadium.

**GAME...

Things are not going well for the Dallas Cowboys. After eight games, the team has only three wins. Their chances of making the playoffs grow slimmer with each week. Besides their inability to win back-to-back games, they have multiple things working against them. For starters, 13 of the 16 NFC teams (81%) also have at least three wins, so it’s a packed house when it comes to teams vying for a playoff spot. Second, the Cowboys have a brutal stretch of games in late November/early December when they’ll square off against tough opponents:

Week 12, November 23rd – Eagles, 6-2...

The Arizona Cardinals are coming off their bye week and the Dallas Cowboys are coming off a game in which they played as if it was their bye week. Despite the embarrassing loss to the Denver Broncos last week, the Cowboys are still favored at home in this Week 9 matchup with the Cardinals.

This is a game in which the Cowboys should be able to take advantage of certain matchups to help sway the game in their favor. But the Cardinals have a few matchups of their own that could alter the game in their favor as well. Today,...

On Tuesday, November 4th, the NFL’s trade deadline will pass. These last few days before that date will be filled with negotiations, smoke, and inevitably, actual moves; the only question is if these Dallas Cowboys trade rumors will become tangible.

We know they are in the trade market, as Jerry Jones & Co. have said. Whether it be at cornerback, linebacker, pass-rusher, or even running back, Dallas has been trying to find an external match for their slumping roster.

A perfect Jerry Jones quote today on @1053thefan when he was asked about the possibility of the Cowboys trading for...

We have a bit of a weird question for you today.

The Dallas Cowboys play their next game on Monday night against the Arizona Cardinals and we all have some trepidation about it given Arizona’s recent success against the Cowboys. They have won seven of the last eight meetings between the team. Oh, and Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray is 9-0 dating back to high school inside of AT&T Stadium where the game will be played.

The question is weird. We understand. But we want to see how you all are thinking.

**What is the best way that Dallas could lose...

The Dallas Cowboys could strengthen their struggling secondary by signing one of three available veteran safeties — George Odum, Marcus Maye, or John Johnson III — each capable of making an immediate impact.

Safeties Inconsistencies

The Dallas Cowboys’ safeties have been one of the most inconsistent units in football this season.

Missed tackles, late rotations, and blown coverages have repeatedly cost Dallas in critical moments — an unsettling trend for a defense that once prided itself on speed and discipline.

As the playoff push approaches, the Cowboys may need outside help to stabilize the back end, and the...
