Cowboys Point/Counterpoint: Are injuries to blame for lost season or was this just meant to be?

Cowboys Point/Counterpoint: Are injuries to blame for lost season or was this just meant to be?

This season has felt broken for a very long time now.

The Cowboys have now lost five straight games, with the season falling into utter disarray ever since their gutsy win in Pittsburgh over the Steelers that seemingly signaled a positive shift in the team’s overall trajectory. Of course, it’s hard to talk about this current slide without acknowledging all of the injuries that have plagued this roster.

Micah Parsons missed that game in Pittsburgh, as did DeMarcus Lawrence, and then missed the next three games. Lawrence still hasn’t returned, and his replacement - rookie Marshawn Kneeland - almost immediately...

Giants' Malik Nabers, Kayvon Thibodeaux questionable vs. Buccaneers

The New York Giants wrapped up their week of practice on Friday afternoon in East Rutherford, New Jersey and their final injury report indicates the team is relatively healthy for the first time in weeks.

But that wasn’t without some pitfalls.

Rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers was added to the injury report on Friday and did not practice after suffering a groin injury. Linebacker Micah McFadden also missed practice but told reporters he expects to play against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Both players are listed as questionable.

Full injury reports for both the Giants and Buccaneers can be found below:...

Cowboys player projections for Washington game call for more of same on offense

Cowboys player projections for Washington game call for more of same on offense

Dalas Cowboys offensive player projections for Sunday are about what they have been as of late.

The Dallas Cowboys are coming off of a game in which Cooper Rush threw for 354 yards, the 50th game in which a quarterback eclipsed 350 in franchise history. Rush’s performance on Monday night came as the Cowboys were fighting for their lives against the Houston Texans, and they failed in pretty spectacular fashion. They are expected to be in for a similar battle this week on the road against the Washington Commanders, and if former friend Dan Quinn has anything to do with...

Elle Duncan fires back at Giants: 'I stand by' my mockery of Daniel jones

Elle Duncan fires back at Giants: 'I stand by' my mockery of Daniel jones

On Thursday night, after former New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones read an emotionally charged statement essentially saying goodbye to the franchise, ESPN anchor Elle Duncan decided to chime in.

Duncan changed the entire format of her segment in order to mock and belittle Jones, which she appeared to take great joy in.

“We normally reserve ‘Taking the Elle’ for Fridays but Giants quarterback Daniel Jones just did something so inexplicable that we made an exception,” Duncan said. “After being benched this week, Jones took to the podium to say goodbye to the franchise and fans but with, like, seven...

Cowboys doghouse: Donovan Wilson is having a rough season

Cowboys doghouse: Donovan Wilson is having a rough season

The safety position has been a disappointment for the Cowboys in 2024.

Safety Donovan Wilson signed a three-year extension for $21 million before the 2023 season, and he earned it. The year before, Wilson had his best season as a pro with 101 tackles (seven tackles for loss), five sacks, an interception, two pass breakups, two forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery. Even last season was productive for Wilson with 88 tackles (two tackles for loss), two interceptions, three pass breakups, a forced fumble, and two fumble recoveries.

When it comes to the NFL, though, every player has to constantly...

Malik Nabers (groin) not practicing for New York Giants

Nabers has long-running issues with groin injury

Wide receiver Malik Nabers did not practice on Friday for the New York Giants. Nabers is reportedly dealing with a groin injury.

Nabers also was on the injury report earlier in the year with a groin issue, but was able to play through it. Nabers said at the time that he has dealt with groin issues for several seasons.

The No. 6 overall pick is the Giants’ leading receiver with 61 catches and 607 receiving yards despite missing two games with a concussion.

Linebacker Micah McFadden is also dealing with a heel injury....

Eagles opposing player to stop, Week 12 edition

Eagles opposing player to stop, Week 12 edition

He’s 36 and doing commercials with his wife for Sleep Number smart beds. It does not mean Matt Stafford, a borderline Hall of Famer, is still not a threat to snap the Eagles’ six-game winning streak at SoFi Stadium before a national TV audience Sunday night.

The Los Angeles Rams’ record may say 5-5. That does not seem to be Stafford’s fault. He is No. 7 in the NFL in passing, throwing for 2,557 yards in completing 232 of 349 (66.5%) and averaging 255.7 yards passing a game, which is No. 6 in the NFL. As a team, the Rams...

Jason Kelce is Getting a Late Night Show

I know, I know – two Jason Kelce posts in one day, but this is newsworthy:

Thursday night on @JimmyKimmelLive, @ESPNNFL‘s @JasonKelce announced his new late night show coming to ESPN

On one hand, you ask yourself if Jason is overexposed right now. Too much, too soon? Maybe. On the other hand, you pause for a second and think about the post-retirement success that a fan-favorite Philadelphia Eagle is having. Here’s a guy who was a...

Daniel Jones waived by the Giants

Daniel Jones waived by the Giants

Should the Eagles sign him?!

March 7, 2023: The New York Giants signed Daniel Jones to a four-year contract worth $160 million.

November 22, 2024: The New York Giants waived Daniel Jones.

Whoops!

The Jones era effectively ended earlier this week with the Giants going into tank mode and benching him to prevent his injury guarantee for 2025 kicking in. But now it’s super duper officially over.

It’ll be interesting to see where Jones lands next. He’s subject to waivers but no team is going to claim his remaining contract.

Given their self-proclamation as The Quarterback Factory, we have to...

Fans desperately want Cowboys to sign Daniel Jones for a Thanksgiving revenge game

With Daniel Jones benched and Dak Prescott injured, the Giants-Cowboys matchup on Thanksgiving sure lost some intrigue and excitement. It wasn’t shaping up to be a good game regardless, but that holiday showdown somehow got worse with Tommy DeVito and Cooper Rush projected to be the starting quarterbacks.

The Cowboys have a chance to do the funniest thing, though.

Jones, who was released by the Giants on Friday, would be the ultimate signing by the Cowboys after he clears waivers. And fans desperately want to see Jerry Jones sign the former Giants quarterback to set up a revenge game on...
