Blatant Double Standard for the Eagles against the Cowboys

            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 rushing games. Dak is back to spreading the ball around and not looking only in Dez’s direction and the defense has been on fire. Before you go spouting that bullshit about the Cowboys not playing anyone, who have the Eagles played?
            The Philadelphia Eagles are 7-1 and are a good team; I won’t take anything away from them. Their wins have come against Redskins (twice), 49ers, Giants, Cardinals, Chargers, and Panthers. The two best teams the Eagles have played up to this point are the Kansas City Chiefs and the Carolina Panthers. They lost to the Chiefs and Carolina may be vastly overrated. Cam Newton has been terrible this season and if Cam doesn’t start playing better they will miss the playoffs.

            The Dallas Cowboys wins have come against the Redskins, Cardinals, 49ers, and Giants. The Cowboys have lost to the terrible Broncos (they do have the best defense in the league) the Rams (5-2), and the Packers (with Rodgers). Does anything look familiar? The Eagles and Cowboys have played and beat all the same garbage teams. Why is there so much love for the Eagles and so much hate for the Cowboys, because ESPN needs to continue to get viewers.

Marinelli..... Keep being special!

                It was a time not so long ago when Jason Hatcher had a pro bowl season with 11 sacks. Hatcher was probably the last dominate pass rusher for the Dallas Cowboys. Since joining the team in 2013 Rob Marinelli has been the leader of the “JAG” (Just A Guy) committee, when it comes to pass rushers. He’s had some solid linemen, but none has been special. That probably will not change much this upcoming season.                 Drafting Taco Charlton was taking a position of need. Was he the best player available at his position? Only time will tell. Can he step in week one and be the pass rusher the Cowboys hope he can be? We will just have to wait in see. There are many questions surrounding Charlton, and he play was have to answer them. The consensus is that Charlton is a very talented but inconsistent player. He has shown flashes of being special at the coll...

We need you Dez!!!!!

           With all the great and exciting new things going on with the Dallas Cowboys, its easy to forget about the great things they’ve had. The Cowboys have a great young nucleus but they also have some really good veteran pieces as well. Sean Lee made his first all-pro team last season and is considered one of the best linebackers in football. Jason Witten will retire as one of the best tight ends to ever play this game. Then that leads me to Dez Bryant, the “X-factor”. Since coming into the league in 2010 you have amazed Cowboys fans with your brilliant showcase of physical attributes.  Your body control, leaping ability, and overall physicality is second to none. The last two years have been tough on you health wise but this team will need you in order to make a super bowl run.             All great offenses usually have a good to great quarterback, a good to great running back, and ...

Calling on General Garrett

I have written a number of blog post about what we, as fans, expect from the players on this Cowboys team. Now let’s put some responsibility at the feet of Jason Garrett. In order for the Dallas Cowboys to make the jump to being a championship team they will need an A+ effort from their General. Jason Garrett is coming off an amazing season with the Dallas Cowboys  which lead to him receiving the coach of the year award. He was able to guide his team to a 13-3 record, a division title, and the best record in the NFC. They eventually lost to the Packers in the divisional round, but the Cowboys still had a good season. I still don’t think we have seen the best of Garrett’s coaching abilities. Since the three straight seasons going 8-8 from 2011-2013, Garrett has been an above average coach. It should be mentioned that in those three season the Cowboys playoff chances can down to the last game of the season. Some people blame Romo for those loses and some b...
