Am I Just a Confused Cowboy Fan or Just a Confused Writer?

For 30 years I have been following the Dallas Cowboys and last Sunday, I just became confused a little I think. Was it just me, or did it seem like the Buccaneers morphed into their own version of the Dallas Cowboys? Those penalties at the end of the half that allowed the Cowboys to stay alive on their way to a touchdown is exactly what we Cowboys fans have been witnessing for a while now. [...]

Zach Thomas Leads With Words And Deeds

When the Cowboys acquired Zach Thomas this off season, I knew we were getting a great player, but I also knew that his best days were behind him. The seven-time Pro Bowler was a leader on and off the field with the Miami Dolphins, and I wondered if he would bring that leadership to the Cowboys. I was glad to see Zach return to his home state of Texas where he first gained his fame [...]

A Broken Rib Can't Stop a Warrior

The Dallas Morning News and dallascowboys.com are reporting that Jason Witten has been diagnosed with a broken rib. If you recall, Witten left the game Sunday but later returned to the field. He played one series then sat the rest of the game out. The Cowboys do not want to have to add another star to the long list of starters on the injury report. I honestly don’t remember a time when we had this many injuries. [...]

Quarterback Controversy? What Quarterback Controversy?

I heard a good joke today while driving to work, apparently the word on sports radio is that the Cowboys have a quarterback controversy… Are they kidding me or what? I don’t see a controversy at all… What I see is A NO-BRAINER. It’s time to get Brad Johnson out, and if Tony Romo needs more time to nurse that poor little pinky injury, then start Brooks Bollinger. The 122-yard performance that Brad Johnson delivered [...]

A Win, is a win, is a win!!

I’ll take it!!!  There is no such thing as a bad win in the NFL.  With the way things have been going around here ANY win is a good one.  This one was different.  Even the most die hard Cowboy fan (myself included) was waiting for Garcia to get a game winning TD on that last drive.  It didn’t happen.  Exhale now.  When we look back on the 2008 season yesterday may have very well been the turning point.  [...]

Game Recap: Cowboys 13 – Buccaneers 9

Cowboys Defense Holds Off Bucs For 13-9 Victory    The Dallas Cowboys’ defense stifled the Bucs and the offense generated just enough for a much needed 13-9 win on Sunday at Texas Stadium.  The victory improved the Cowboys to 5-3 on the season and allowed them to keep pace with the Redskins and Giants in the NFC East race. The game sis not get off to a very good start for heir first three offensive [...]

Game Preview: Buccaneers @ Cowboys

Buccaneers (5-2) vs. Cowboys (4-3)  Sunday, October 26, Noon CT on FOX Week 8 Preview: Cowboys Getting Close To “Must Win” Situation Against Bucs The Dallas Cowboys need to right the ship and fast.  After losing three of their last four games, the Cowboys are now 4-3 on the season, and if the season ended last week, the Cowboys would not even be in the playoffs.  A win would put Dallas right back in the [...]

It Is Not Time to Panic Cowboy Fans

Good Afternoon Cowboys Fans: I am over the initial shock now of last weeks “drubbing” at the hands of the St. Louis Rams, a team in all actuality should not have been on the same field with the Cowboys. I sometimes think expectations are a little high in Dallas from the fan base and especially from Jerry Jones. At the start of the season all the NFL analysts, “armchair quarterbacks” and sports reporters across the country [...]

Special Teams Less Than Impressive

Am I forgetting some Special Team stats that are impressive from the last few years?  I don’t think so! Our Special Teams have been less than impressive for a long time. Back in 1990, Jimmy Johnson hired Joe Avezzano to lead the Special Teams. I remember his teams having that spark that made you sit on the edge of your seat when the punt or kickoff returner caught the ball. Do you remember all of those runbacks in [...]

We are # 1

One of the many things I love about the Cowboys is I am sure to get my money’s worth all year long! I enjoy this roller coaster ride of bye week vacations, spring training, trouble or… ? One of the things I love about YOU, the fans is your passion. I watch all the shows and surfed all the sites. I know what the media says about us and our team… We’re on the “Best [...]

The Dallas Cowboys…. "Are They Fragile or Are They on the Brink of Destruction"?

Good afternoon Cowboy fans: As I sit here at the computer trying to figure out what words I should use or what to title this article. My mind started using “Are they fragile”, “or is this team on the Brink of Destruction”? As these words kept floating in and out of my mind, my heart was telling me something different. It was telling me this is only a dream and I will wake up and everything [...]

The Season Starts Now……

So……how bout that weather? Well, I have been sitting back, soaking it all in, trying to formulate my own opinion on all things Cowboys. It’s been somewhat of a challenge with all of the media coverage, fan opinions and overall overkill analysis and doomsday predictions following the past few weeks. What a strange few weeks it has been in Cowboy country. Who could deny that? But in the midst of all of this, it finally hit me [...]
