The NFL Pro Bowl certainly isn’t the same thing it once was after the fear of injury basically wiped out any competitive spirit of the game. It’s now turned into more of an after-season celebration which is fine given the need to protect high-contract players from needless injury. It is still a nice honor for those who make it.

This year, the Cowboys had five players voted on to the initial roster. We know that rosters can change as players decline to participate or are involved in the Super Bowl, but as of right now three offensive players, one defensive...

Well, at this point in the season, it is time for the Dallas Cowboys to mess with a few things to see what works and what doesn’t, so they can get it figured out for next year.

That said, Cowboys All-Pro offensive lineman, Tyler Smith started Sunday at left tackle, and it has now been announced that he will remain there for the remainder of the 2025 season.

At this point, what is it going to hurt? This team is going to be looking for a lot of answers when September 2026 rolls around.

Changes In 2026?

Cowboys HC...

It was once said that Christmas is the season of perpetual hope. To be clear it was Kate McCallister in Home Alone who said this, but it was said nonetheless.

On the subject of hope there seems to be very little with regards to the Dallas Cowboys. There is obviously not any in terms of this season as they have been formally eliminated from playoff contention, but even hope for the future seems grim at the moment.

Let’s play Santa Claus for a minute. If you could guarantee one thing involving this team (talking about practical things here, nothing outlandish...

The Dallas Cowboys have one of the worst defenses that the franchise has ever seen. Statements like this are often made in frustration and sound hyperbolic, but the reality of who the Cowboys are in 2025 is that this is true.

There are still a pair of games left before they will pack it up, but what we have witnessed is near the very bottom of every defensive group that has ever worn the uniform. Shout out to Stathead and Pro Football Reference who help make cross-referencing all of this information much easier.

30-point games are happening left and...

Seeing the Dallas Cowboys officially eliminated from the playoffs never gets easier. You can brace for it all season, tell yourself you’re ready, and it still hits the same way.

January football is coming, and like clockwork, Dallas isn’t a part of the conversation.

I stared at the playoff picture longer than I should have, wondering where things went wrong for the Cowboys, but there were too many things to list.

Instead, it’s just another season ending earlier than it should.

The Eagles Are Still Standing, and That’s the Part That Hurts

What really makes missing the playoffs...

‘This is our job’: Dak Prescott to play Week 17 despite Cowboys missing playoffs – Todd Brock, The Cowboys Wire

QB1 is staying in that role to end the regular season.

In the moments following a listless 34-17 defeat at the hands of the Chargers in the team’s 2025 home finale on Sunday, the veteran quarterback was asked whether it would be difficult to muster up intensity from here on out with a postseason berth now off the table.

Prescott sighed and then paused for a full five seconds before replying.

“Honestly, I guess...

For the last two decades, the NFC East had not done something that all of the NFL’s other seven divisions had. Have a team win consecutive division championships.

The last time an NFC East team defended its crown had been all the way back to the 2004 season.

The Philadelphia Eagles won four straight titles from 2001 through 2004.

For the next two decades, none of the four teams could defend their title. During that streak, the Eagles and Dallas Cowboys each won seven divisional titles.

The New York Giants and Washington Redskins/Football Team/Commanders each won the division three times....

Closing out Week 16 with the 49ers and the Colts.

This is an open thread for game chat.

The Dallas Cowboys were run off their home field by the visiting Los Angeles Chargers. Now they travel to Washington to take on the Commanders on Christmas Day. The Commanders have also been eliminated from the postseason, and like the Cowboys, have a lengthy injury report. As both teams look to finish the season on a high note, here’s what we know so far about the injuries.

Tyler Guyton (ankle) was listed as a DNP on Monday. The team had already announced that Tyler Smith will remain at left tackle for the final two games of the season, even if...

The Dallas Cowboys are fully and blatantly out of things to play for on this 2025 season. The black and blue fact of this was set in stone before the Cowboys even arrived to AT&T Stadium on Sunday, as their playoff chances were reduced to 0% Saturday night when the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Washington Commanders on the road. It was made even more evident and painful by the way the Cowboys lost to the Los Angeles Chargers in their final home game of the season, losing 34-17, getting just one defensive stop and being shut out offensively in the...

The Dallas Cowboys were officially eliminated from playoff contention on Saturday evening and had to play a game the next day against the Los Angeles Chargers knowing that. All primary/important members of the Cowboys played against the Chargers, but an argument could be made that Dallas prepared all week to play things down to the wire in the event that they were still mathematically alive in the playoff hunt.

A new week means a change to reassess and think about things with a different perspective. Perhaps the Cowboys would look at their remaining games and decide to close up shop...

The Dallas Cowboys are set to visit the Washington Commanders on Christmas Day, the penultimate game of the season for both teams. Christmas is on a Thursday here in 2025 and it marks the fourth game that Dallas will have played on a Thursday specifically. There truly is no rest for the weary in the NFL.

As noted, the Cowboys and Commanders are both aware that their seasons have expiration dates in the near future. Washington has been in some self-preservation mode for a bit now as they already shut down Jayden Daniels on the season. It remains to be...
