Flashback: Dallas vs Denver – 1992

It was a cold, but not too cold Sunday afternoon on December 6, 1992 at Mile High Stadium in Denver. Dallas came into the game with an 11-2 record looking to clinch a spot in the NFC playoffs for the second straight season. They were well rested after having their usual time off after the Thanksgiving Day game where they beat the NY Giants 30-3. The Denver Broncos came into the game with a 7-6 [...]

Weekly Game Balls: Week 3

This week’s offensive game ball goes to Tashard Choice. The quickness and toughness he showed against the Panthers defense made him an easy “Choice”. On any other team Choice would easily be an every down back. The Cowboy’s depth in the backfield was on full display Monday night. It’s really fun to watch his signature “T.C.” every time he scores a touchdown. Choice had 82 yards on 18 carries with one touchdown, he also had a 2 [...]

A Tale of Two Defenses Against Carolina

What Dallas defense would we rather have on the field? The defense from the first half of the Carolina game or the defense from the second half? It’s an easy choice if you watched the 21-7 victory over the Panthers on Monday night. It’s an even easier choice if you look at the numbers. The answer would be the Dallas defense from the second half. The Cowboys held the Panthers scoreless for most of the [...]

Cowboys Bounce Back, Beat Panthers 21-7

The Cowboys rebounded from a tough loss against the Giants and beat the Carolina Panthers 21-7 on Monday night in front of another packed house in their new stadium. Tony Romo rebounded from a lackluster performance last week when he threw three interceptions, and completed 22 of 33 passes for 255 yards, but most importantly he had no turnovers. With Marion Barber out with an injury, Felix Jones started and finished with 94 yards on [...]

Run Baby Run

The Cowboys offense did something last night that has not been done since 1979, they ran for at least 200 yards in two consecutive games. Last night they rushed for 214 yards and that was without Marion Barber. Felix Jones was also hurt in the third quarter, but Tashard Choice kept the ball running and RUN he did. The Cowboys’ offense was still lacking in the receiving area. Jason Witten caught the majority of passes. [...]

Give Credit Where Credit Is Due

Yes ESPN, we fans realize the Cowboys just won against the struggling (now 0-3) Panthers. Carolina played a lot better than anyone expected, mostly in the first half. Several guys stepped up in this game, so I’d like to give credit where credit is due. I’m talking specifically about Patrick Crayton and Tashard Choice on offense. Crayton made several very crucial plays, and kept his head in the game, playing smart football all night long. [...]

Where’s The Love?

As I am sitting here doing my research for my next column, I notice something that concerns me. Everyone is talking about what problem needs to be fixed, what issue needs to be addressed. Don’t get me wrong, I know that everyone of us that write about our Dallas Cowboys has a true love for them. I just think we need to express how much we believe in them. How much we know they have [...]

Barber Decision: All or Nothing

Despite the recent build-up that Marion Barber may sit out this week after injuring his quad, the team still has not made a decision if he will play or not. However, Wade Phillips announced if Barber is active he will take his full workload. The decision will come 90 minutes before kickoff tomorrow. He is listed officially as questionable. “His game is power,” Phillips said. “If he’s not as powerful, that could be a factor. [...]

By The Numbers

41 Starts as a NFL quarterback, 59 touchdown with 46 interceptions. Does this sound like the type of numbers you would want from the starting quarterback of your favorite NFL team? That was the question that everyone had back in 1994 when Brett Favre began his illustrious career in Green Bay.  Now he is known as one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game. 41 Starts as a NFL quarterback, 85 touchdowns with 49 interceptions.  Is [...]
