            The time is now for the Dallas Cowboys! I’m not going to diminish how important Zeke Elliot is to the success of this Cowboys team. The reality is that he is probably going to serve this six game suspension at some point. Even if he pushes it back a week or two, the NFL is going to win. Personally, I would like to see him serve the suspension now because the team appears to be gelling together. They are more equipped now after a two game win streak, to make a run at Philly for the division lead. What has to happen for the Cowboys to keep the season trending upward?             The Dallas Cowboys are in a perfect position after 8 weeks. Their record sits at 4-3 and they didn’t look good the first five games of the season. Since the week six bye week the Cowboys have been playing amazing. Say what you want about the quality of opponent, there aren’t many great teams in the league anyways.             The Defense has been boning up since giving up two straight 30-point

            Wait just a got damn minute! I got a bone to pick with the so-called “NFL Talking Heads.” What is with the blatant double standard between the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles? When it comes to the Eagles it’s they’re so good, Carson Wentz is amazing and their defense is out of this world. When it comes to the Dallas Cowboys it’s they’ve struggled this year, they haven’t played anyone, and their defense is garbage. These two teams have played and beaten all the same bad teams. If the bad teams are good, enough to put Eagles at the top of the power rankings, then whey do the Cowboys catch so much hatred from the talking heads? It’s a simple answer the media loves to hate the Cowboys, because fans love to hate the Dallas Cowboys.             The Dallas Cowboys are currently on a two game winning streak after starting the season 2-3. The Cowboys look like a different team since coming off the bye week. Zeke Elliot has been on fire with back to back 150 yard rushin

            Ok Cowboys nation, we’ve had a few days to come down off the high of beating a terrible 49ers team. Don’t get me wrong the Cowboys needed a win last Sunday and it didn’t matter who it was against. What gets me, is the overreaction to the win. Before beating the 49ers the Cowboys had a struggling defense, the offensive line wasn’t looking good, and Zeke had taken a step back. After the win against the 49ers, the Cowboys have soared in power rankings, has the best offensive line in football, and the defense is now a work in progress; what a difference one game makes.             The Dallas Cowboys have been inconsistent in this 2017 season. After six games, the offensive line appears to have gelled. I like Cooper at left guard over Chaz Green, because that is Cooper’s natural position and he is powerful player. This defense is and will continue to be a work in progress. Marinelli has his hands full with personnel rotations and secondary packages. I would love to see him

                        Cowboy Nation, it’s time to dust ourselves off and get ready for the reminder of the 2017 season. Yes, it was a rough 5-week start to the season, but it isn’t over and the Cowboys are still in great position to get the job done. The bye week has come and gone. At this point, I’m ready to put everything that went on the first 5 weeks, in the back of my mind and approach the reminder of the season with renewed faith.             The Dallas Cowboys take on the San Francisco 49ers. Many Cowboys fans have taken the confident approach and have turned their noses up at the 49ers. They think that this is a non-contest and the Cowboys should win this game going away, be careful. This 49ers team has lost 5 straight games by 3 points or less. If there is any team due (due theory) for a win it’s the 49ers. Salmon Thomas and Deforest Buckner are studs up front. This offensive line will have it’s hands full. Reuben Foster is making his season debut, and we will jus

          Remember in the movie Superbad, when Seth was going through extreme heights just to score with Jules. He had somehow convinced himself that Jules liked him and that he was going to score with her at the party she was throwing. That is how it feels to be a Cowboys fan right now. We have convinced ourselves that this team is going to score (win a super bowl) with the NFL. Its funny that the fans are the ones that have gone to the extreme heights because this team is no different than last year’s team. That isn’t a negative but if a team didn’t get any better from the previous year then how can the fans expect the team to achieve something different than they did a year ago?             Fans have blind hope in their team, it’s part of the fandom. You want to believe your team improved. The players put in the work in the offseason and got better. The coaches put in some amazing new game plan to feature all the talented players the teams has. At the end it’s all blind hope. You

                        In my opinion, the Cowboys bye week came at the perfect time of the season. Zeke got the stay for his suspension overturned, and will begin serving his suspension. Stephen Pea decided he wanted to retired. The Cowboys had seen enough of Nolan Carroll to release him (to the delight of many Cowboys fans). Not to mention the terrible start to this season. The Cowboys needed time to regroup and now they have a week off to do it. What should they be doing on this break? Getting back to the basics             The running game is the driving force for this team. It has been inconsistent for the first five weeks of the season. They have had solid rushing performances in every game except the Broncos game, but the running game hasn’t been as effective as it was last season. The Cowboys are seeing that teams are focusing on stopping the run. It doesn’t help that the Cowboys wide receivers continue to drop passes, and not separate from defensive back

        Allow me to apologize. I’m sorry to all of Cowboys nations, as I have made a mistake. I was one of those Cowboys fans that was standing tall for this defense. I even went as hard to call out the offense for not doing enough to win games. After that Cardinals game, I jumped all over Scott Linnehan and Jason Garrett for a lack of creativity for this offense. My argument, at the time, was that the offense had the three all pro linemen, pro bowl QB, pro bowl running back, and a pro bowl wide receiver. I now see the error of my ways, and I must ask for forgiveness.             The Cowboys have scored 28, 31, and 30 points in their last three games. Their record is 1-2 in those three games. Thirty points use to be enough to win in the NFL, considering that the league leader in points per game is KC (32.8). Only two teams average over 30 points per game this season. The point is that when your offense scores 30 points the defense isn’t supposed to allow 35. I’m completely off the b

            Game day is here! The Cowboys will be taking on the Packers, today, at 4:15 pm EST. This is a big game for the Cowboys. It’s a chance to get back on the winning path. Much has been made about the Packers, mostly because they have the best quarterback in the game, Aaron Rodgers. Outside of Rodgers this Packers team is mediocre. I think this will be a statement win, and a win that will bode well for the Cowboys in the standings later in the season. Demarcus “DLAW” Lawrence             DLaw is the NFL sack leader (7.5) through the first four weeks of the season. He has had in impact in every game. I would love for him to play the run better, but I will settle for him getting to the quarterback.             This is a game tailor made for Lawrence. The Packers may be without their starting tackles. The offensive line for the Packers is in shambles and Demarcus had better be ready to feast.             Another thing that may help Lawrence is the return of David

             It’s been an up and down start to the 2017 season for the Dallas Cowboys. I haven’t reached the sky is falling phase yet for this team. In the grand scheme of things, this team is still right where they want to be. They’re one game out of first place for the Division and the Conference. They still have to play Philly and the Redskins twice. This team already has one division win in its hat. Everything that the Cowboys hope to accomplish this year, is still very much attainable. Most reasonable fans looked at this schedule, at the beginning of the season and knew that it would be tougher rode for the Cowboys. This team wasn’t going 16-0 and it’s better to struggle now, early in the season, as oppose to late in the year when the games matter most.             With that out the way, the Cowboys have a lot of work to do in order to get back to the 2016 team that we saw. Everything that the Cowboys do well begin and ends with the running game. When the run is clicking, the o
