More Sunday games for this weekend.

This is an open thread for game chat.

Dallas’s Thursday night loss against the Detroit Lions has plummeted their playoff odds, forcing fans to start looking to 2026. In doing so, it is hard not to notice a few recently-extended Cowboys who may be cut loose this offseason.

There is no doubt that this roster needs a shake-up in a few key areas; the issue is that they don’t necessarily have a ton of money to spend, especially after George Pickens gets paid.

Therefore, the team will have to get creative while also bolstering the necessary units.

Here, we’ll look at three of the players in question, what...

The Dallas Cowboys didn’t have what it takes to beat the Detroit Lions on Thursday, ending their three-game winning streak and considerably reducing their playoff chances. The team fell into their usual hole, but unlike their previous two games, they were unable to play themselves out of that mess and put on a late surge to escape with the win.

There are many reasons why this game didn’t work out for the Cowboys, but one factor was that some of the pleasant surprises we’ve seen recently in games just weren’t there this time. The team has received positive contributions from...

The Dallas Cowboys are coming off of their first loss since before the bye week after falling to the Detroit Lions on Thursday Night Football.

It was essentially a tale of four quarters, with each stanza showing a different version of the Cowboys that ultimately ended in their defeat.

Though they had success on offense, mainly in the second half, the defense told us the same story throughout: they still aren’t good enough to compete versus the best offenses in the NFL.

Aside from all the actual gameplay, there is a group of opposing fans on Twitter/X who swear the...

The Cowboys still have a slim chance of making the playoffs, but will need a lot of help from other teams along the way. With bowl season coming up in college football, this is a good time to look at the biggest needs for Dallas and who the key prospects are in the first round the Cowboys could take with either of their Day 1 picks. In this edition we look at the linebackers Dallas desperately need.

Fans can wake up happy this morning because another football Sunday has arrived. We get to watch near-playoff games today, and some of us might have a must-win fantasy game ahead. For everybody, the NFL injury updates this week are huge.

Whether it’s for your own team’s sake, rooting for or against another squad, or that aforementioned high-stakes fantasy game, you have to know who is healthy and who is out in Week 14.

At this point in the season, all players are banged up: it’s just a matter of how severely. Here, we’ll focus on the guys who have...

The curious case of Trevon Diggs is an underrated storyline of the Dallas Cowboys 2025 season. At one time Diggs was a top-rated cornerback who was going to be a cornerstone of the Cowboys defense for the next decade. Now, he and the franchise seem to be headed for a divorce.

The acrimony between the team and Diggs really started to simmer when the team docked Diggs $5000,000 for rehabbing away from the team this offseason. Then one of Diggs’ closest friends, Micah Parsons, was traded. Diggs struggled with injury to start the year, then finally returned only to struggle...

Believe it or not, Week 14 of the NFL season is already upon us, and the playoff picture has started to take shape.

The NFC is by far the most competitive conference.

In the NFC North and NFC West, three teams each conference are tied or nearly tied at the top of the division, making the playoff race an exciting one to watch.

The AFC tells a slightly different story, with at least one team that can get closer to locking up their division this weekend.

Jerry Jones leans into ‘daydream’ as Cowboys cling to fading playoff hopes – Randy Gurzi, SI.com

A fan (and the Cowboys owner) can only dream.

The Dallas Cowboys are in danger of missing the playoffs following their Thursday night loss to the Detroit Lions. That ended their three-game winning streak and dropped their odds of making the postseason to just 9%. They’re still alive, however, and can increase those odds to roughly 47% if they win out. Still, that means they will need a lot of help even if they win the final four games.

When I heard the Cowboys added Kenneth Murray in free agency, I thought he looked like a physical, scheme-fit at linebacker for Matt Eberflus.

When Dallas later added Logan Wilson, I thought that move signaled something different, that Wilson was viewed as the more complete, more reliable option.

From the outside looking in, it felt like Murray would eventually slide into a secondary role and Wilson would take over.

The thing is, when I compared their full-season of production instead of assuming based off what is seen in 4K, the picture changes completely.

Kenneth Murray has been the better linebacker,...

Wait, they’re still playing games this weekend? Despite what happened to our Cowboys on Thursday night, the rest of the NFL isn’t respecting the mourning period. If you’re like-minded, and especially if you’re still holding out hope for Dallas to get into the playoffs, the door is still open and worth watching.

Granted, Thursday’s loss to the Lions didn’t help. But the Cowboys could still get to 10 wins in the regular season, which gives them a reasonable shot at qualifying for the tournament. Playing Detroit on the road was arguably the toughest game left on Dallas’ schedule. If they...
