I hate being right.Every week, I want the Cowboys to win. I believe the Cowboys will win. Only once in the modern era has any NFL fan been right all the way through the season.This loss is a good thing for the Cowboys. They beat an overrated team that got hot at the right time and then lost key pieces. The Giants had lost two key offensive pieces to the San Fransisco 49ers-- power back Brandon Jacobs and experienced third receiver Mario Manningham. They also had a weakened secondary because of injuries.This game will remind the Cowboys that they are not invincible.The biggest factor was the special teams play. The obvious examples are the early fumble by Felix Jones and the blocked punt, but there were more mistakes throughout the game.A muffed punt by would-be superstar Dez Bryant cost the Cowboys a chance to make a momentum-changing play at the end of the first half. He was lucky enough to recover it and not hand more points to Seattle, but it was still costly.Felix Jones w...

It’s Back: Inconsistency! Cowboys Letdown in 27-7 Lose

I’m sure like all fans, we are just pissed off beyond belief and with plenty reason. The Cowboys let us down, simple as that. Here we are thinking the Cowboys turned the corner after a great win on the road against the champs, but then they don’t even show up in Seattle. So much for thinking the Cowboys were returning to the 90′s, no these are the same ole Cowboys – inconsistent...

The NFL is a funny thing. Some weeks teams click on all cylinders. Everything in the playbook works, the ball bounces the right way, and the team likely enjoys a great deal of success. But then, with no rhyme or reason, there are games like the one we just saw the Dallas Cowboys play this afternoon. Games in which everyone is out of sync, (almost) nothing in the playbook works...

Witten motivated for Cowboys to bounce back
IRVING, Texas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten wasn't blaming Sunday's 27-7 loss on the team not playing hard or not being prepared. Too him, it was all about execution on offense.
"Too many missed opportunities. Drops, myself," Witten said Monday at Valley Ranch. "Too many missed assignments. They gave us different looks and we weren't able to get the protection...

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he believes the NFL will take a look
at a hit on Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee from Seattle receiver Golden Tate for
possible supplementary discipline.
Lee was chasing Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson on a scramble, when Tate was able to get a blindside angle on him and crush him. The play was not penalized, but the league has been tough on unnecessary...

Ah, the weekend is finally here. It’s time for sleeping in, lawn work, and of course, last minute fantasy football alterations.
Being only Week 2, I hope all of you have not lost your optimism just yet. So what if you started 0-1? So did half of your league. So what if you scored 17 points, with 9 coming from your kicker? Well, then you might be in trouble. But, the season...

Dallas Cowboy Fan Breaks Down after Horrible Loss to Seahawks
Sports fans tend to lose it from time to time. Generally when their teams have a bad performance not living up to expectations. Yesterday one team that would fit that description is the Dallas Cowboys who get absolutely pounded 27-7 at Seattle as 3 point road favorites coming in riding high after knocking off the New York Giants in week one.Today I came across an absolutely hysterical...

Don’t bobble this one, Tony
Tony Romo bobbled the snap on a potential chip-shot field goal that would have given his Cowboys the lead over the Seattle Seahawks. It was one unfortunate play in an otherwise solid performance—including his guiding the team down the field to set up the potential game-winning 19 yard field goal.
Tony Romo was the Cinderella story of...

This is yet another opportunity to call out the replacement refs as they missed a huge illegal block delivered to Sean Lee from Golden Tate, one of Seattle’s many hopeful playmakers.
This week Seattle’s entire team can take on the title ‘Beast Mode’ as they smash a Cowboys team who looked great in their opener against the Super Bowl champion New York Giants. Their success...

After Sunday’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks, Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant admitted that he’s frustrated with the way he’s played over the course of the first two games of the season.
“You can say that there was frustration,” Bryant said. “It’s all about, really today, it was all about getting over it and seeing if we can move on from it. But it was tough times in...

Although Cowboys running back Felix Jones has been relegated to a backup role, Dallas owner Jerry Jones said on the radio Tuesday it's ridiculous to think the team would cut the 2008 first-round pick. I feel like were in good shape, Jones said on 105.3 The Fan [KRLD-FM], according to The Dallas Morning News. I think we saw him be quick at practice last week. I think we...

I know many people believe that the Seahawks wide receiver Golden Tate should be fined for lighting up Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee during yesterday’s game. But I’ll break down why the hit is clean in my opinion.
Lee was not a defenseless player. Tate hit him straight on and not on the side.
Lee failed to guard himself and keep his head on a swivel.
Tate didn’t lead with...
