It was good to hear Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones give the team some good advice after the game on Thursday. Jones addressed the team in the locker room after their 24-7 Thanksgiving Day victory, and cautioned them not to lose focus or get too far ahead of themselves. “This is a time when there shouldn’t be anybody smug, shouldn’t be anybody feeling full of themselves by where we are. We should really sit down here [...]

The Thanksgiving Day game just reinforced my belief that the Dallas Cowboys are a TEAM, not a bunch of individual stars making amazing plays. They worked together and did it well! The Cowboys I saw playing yesterday looked like a totally different team than the one I watched last weekend vs the Redskins. They showed why they’re called America’s Team. They played with heart and a desire to win which, to be honest, is something [...]

First of all I want to wish everyone out there a very happy Thanksgiving. Hope everyone had a great day with family and watching some Dallas Cowboys football. Just like Kelly said, thanks to all of our troops out there serving our country, we all thank you very much. As for the game, the Cowboys got back to the way they should be playing. They had a decent game and pulled out a vicory. Was it [...]

With Thanksgiving only a day away I know we are all thankful for family, friends, roofs over our head and food on the table. But as fans of the Dallas Cowboys we are also thankful that our team plays on this day every year. The Cowboys first Thanksgiving Day game was back in 1966 thanks to Tex Schramm who came up with the idea for the NFL. They have played every season except 1975 and [...]

For the most part it was one ugly game. But there were some worthy contributions that stood out among the disgust that most of us felt until the last drive of the game. With that said I present you the game balls of week 11. This week’s offensive game ball goes to Marion Barber. All week we heard about Jerry Jones wanting to give Felix Jones more carries. However, it was Marion Barber who delivered. [...]

It took me a couple of weeks before making a decision on this match-up between the Cowboys and the Raiders. You would think there would be a lot of history between these two teams on the field, but the fact is that they have only played nine times. The Cowboys have won six of those nine games, but the Raiders have won the last three. Every single time I thought about this game I would [...]

The Redskins-Cowboys rivalry has always been intense. The Redskins have three Super Bowls to go along with their two NFL Championships, while Dallas has five Super Bowl wins of their own. However, to my great delight, the Redskins have struggled greatly as of late due to the ineptness of owner Daniel Snyder, who makes Al Davis not look half bad, and general manager Vinny Cerrato, who has neglected several key positions. The Redskins have had [...]

Somehow the Dallas Cowboys were able to snatch a victory from the jaws of defeat and beat the Washington Redskins 7-6 on Sunday. Instead of a devastating loss, Romo and company came away with an unlikely win, and Cowboy Nation can now collectively exhale and relish the moment. For almost four quarters, the Cowboys offense was held scoreless due mostly to an ineffective passing game that featured poorly executed passes, dropped balls and a poor job [...]

Crazy games aren’t rare for Cowboys/Redskins matchups, but this game’s score seemed more like a baseball game than football. One of the saddest box scores in the history of football.. 1st 2nd 3rd 4th Final Dallas 0 0 0 7 7 Washington 0 3 3 0 6 Luckily Tony Romo scrambled and found Patrick Crayton in the endzone with 2:41 on the clock. This was an ugly loss. Thank heaven the defense was strong, holding [...]
