Why I love the Cowboys

It was 1989 and the Dallas Cowboys were coming off a 3-13 record in 88. Jerry Jones has just bought the team and his first move was to fire head coaching legend Tom Landry. A move that didn't go over well with the fans. Jones knew it would take drastic changes to get the Cowboys back to their winning ways.
Jones choice at head coach was former college teammate Jimmy Johnson. Johnson had been a successful college coach and was an excellent talent evaluator.
Fast forward to 1995, three super bowls later, to the time that I was fascinated by the very entertaining Cowboys. I was 8 years old when the high stepping Dieon Sanders, the high flying tough catch making Michael Irvin, and the ever consistent Emmit Smith captured my fandom. It was hard not to be come a fan.
22 years later I'm still waiting for the Cowboys to get back to the glory years. I love them more now than I did in 95.

Defense shines bright Today!!!!!

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 ...

The Time is now Defense!

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...

R-E-L-A-X Cowboys fans!!!!!

Cowboys fan are you ready to plant your feet firmly on the ground now? The Cowboys have high expectations set for them in 2017, and rightfully so. They won 13 games last year. Last year the rookies looked great and the thought is that they would come in more experienced. They beat the one team that swept them last season. Everything has been going right for this Cowboys team and now they finally have some adversity to face. When everything goes your way and things appear to be easy, you begin to read the press clippings. The fans start shouting "Super Bowl" loud enough for everyone to hear it. These players and this coaching staff needed a wake up call. The Cowboys had a lot of turnover, this offseason, on the defensive side of the ball. You had to be insane or delusional to think that this Cowboys wouldn't struggle at times this season. The defense was already bad, throw in 4 rookies and a lackluster pass rush and y...
