Boys v Packers..... Must see 2017



          Cowboys fans always expect the most of their team. Yes, we may be looking at our team through blue and silver colored glasses. Doesn’t change the fact that the Dallas Cowboys are one of the most talented teams in the NFL. The NFL network recently did their top one hundred player rankings (based on the players opinion), and the Cowboys had seven players on that list. If you do the math, the Cowboys accounted for 7% of the player on the list! Only one of those seven players came from the defensive side of the ball. That is also 32% of the Cowboys starting depth chart (22 players). It’s easy to see why the Cowboys fan base is so excited.
          After a very successful 2016 season the expectations are, sky-high for this year’s Cowboys team. Dak and Zeke are going into their second season. The Cowboys had a very solid offseason, and they will be returning all the same players on the offensive side of the ball. This success has also garnered them the first place schedule for the NFC East. That means the Cowboys will be playing the first place teams of the NFC Conference from last season. We are going to see many good matchups with the Cowboys. Which should equate to some very entertaining football this season. There is one matchup that I’m most excited to see and that’s the one against the Green Bay Packers!


          The Cowboys and Packers have had some very recent history. In 2014 the Packers put the Cowboys out the playoffs in the divisional round. This was the Dez Bryant catch or no catch game. The Cowboys were able to beat the Packers in the regular season in 2016 but when the games matter most, the Packers have had the Cowboys numbers.

          The Packers ended the Cowboys season last year in the divisional round of the playoffs. The rookie quarterback Dak Prescott lead the Cowboys to a game tying field goal late in that game before Aaron Rodgers made an amazing throw to put the Packers in position to win the game on a field goal. That game left a sour taste in the mouths of Cowboys fans and I want to see how these Boys respond. I want to see that this game left a sour taste in their mouths as well. I hate to play the, “they should have won game;” because there are games that the Cowboys won that they could’ve lost. This game was a very hard fought game that came down to one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history making one of the greatest throws in history. When they meet October 8, 2017, I expect fireworks.

Cowboys lost to Rams.... Defense!!!

       If you're reading this expecting me to bash the Cowboys defense stop reading now! The Cowboys have a struggling defense but that shouldn't be a surprise to anybody. The only way to build a championship team in today's NFL is to hit on some draft picks.  The Cowboys have invested a ton of money on the offensive side of the ball. They still have to pay Zach Martin this season. Also consider that they will have to pay Zeke and Dak at some point very soon. The only way to improve this defensive unit is via the draft. Look on the bright side, the Cowboys could be paying $200 million to defensive players and be sitting at 0-4 like the Giants.         Staying with the money aspect for just a second. Demarcus Lawrence (DLaw) and David Irving are up for contracts after this season. Lawrence was leading the league in sacks coming into week 4. Chances are they will only keep one of them. Byron Jones, a...

Five Keys to beating the 49ers!!!!

                        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 s...

Five Keys To Beating the Giants 2017 wk1

            Ezekiel Elliot has pulled a Tom Brady and he will be playing for the Cowboys this entire season. Giant’s players have been beating on their chest, wishing Zeke plays, and acting tough. Be careful what you wish for! George Forman wanted Ali to stand in front him and not dance around. Eight rounds later he wished he didn’t fight Ali. On Sunday night, the Giants will wish they never wished for Zeke to play, or played the Dallas Cowboys.             The Dallas Cowboys take on the hated division rival New York Giants. It seems like the NFL benefits greatly from putting these two teams against each other to start the season. Cowboy’s vs Giants is always an entertaining match-up and this year will be no different. Zeke’s suspension is on hold for the time being, Odell Beckham’s ankle is making it hard for him to practice and he might not play. Brandon Marshall’s shoulder has been bothering him s...
