With the relevancy of the Cowboys-Eagles game reduced to an exhibition game yesterday afternoon, the Cowboys decided to take Christmas Eve off in what I still considered to be the tune up to Armageddon next week against the Giants.
The Cowboys have now lost three of their last four games after their 20-7 loss to the Eagles, the Cowboys also lost to the first meeting with the Eagles 34-7.
Sadly, we’ve all seen how the Cowboys usually handle these must win – do or die games before… They fold like a cheap chair.
What will they do next week?
Will Tony Romo finally get over the hump and win a big game?
Will Felix Jones finally play like the No. 1 running back he was expected to be when he was drafted?
Will Rob Ryan finally have the defense – especially the secondary – firing on all cylinders?
Will Jason Garrett make any bone-headed moves that will prove costly?
These are all legitimate questions for these Cowboys who continue to frustrate fans with their inc...

Real test awaits Romo's healing hand
IRVING, Texas There seems to be no doubt Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo will play with a bruised throwing hand in Sunday's winner-take-all game against the Giants.
The only question is how effective he will be.
Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said the swelling in Romo's right hand had gone down Monday, but the proof will come when Romo returns to practice Wednesday.

In a very boring game, the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Dallas Cowboys 20-7. With no playoff ramifications on the line, the Cowboys played it safe and looked to next week. Quarterback Tony Romo suffered a hand contusion on the first series of the game, and did not return. Michael Vick threw for two touchdowns and led Philadelphia to a bittersweet victory. As nice as it feels...

(UPDATED) So far, Christmas Eve has been a downer for Cowboys

It all comes down to this for the Dallas Cowboys specifically Tony Romo; outplay the New York Giants specifically Eli Manning and he will once again be going to the playoffs. It has been a year of ups and downs for the much maligned quarterback, but he has a shot to perform his own rendition of a “Miracle at the Meadowlands” this season, but there won’t be a DeSean involved...

Many things have changed in the sixteen years since the Dallas Cowboys last won a Super Bowl. In those sixteen years the franchise has seen five head coaching changes and an innumerable amount of player personnel changes. Specifically, the quarterback position, which has been occupied by five separate “franchise” quarterbacks. The defense has been overhauled multiple...

Eagles' Samuel out, Dallas' Jones active (AP)
Eagles cornerback Asante Samuel and Cowboys kick returner and backup receiver Kevin Ogletree are among the inactives for the Dallas-Philadelphia game Saturday. Samuel aggravated a hamstring injury earlier in the week and wasn't expected to play. The Cowboys weren't sure whether they'd have running back Felix Jones, and defensive stars DeMarcus Ware and Jay Ratliff.
Cheerleaders bring teams little cheer?
If the Dallas Cowboys do not win the Super Bowl this year, owner Jerry Jones should turn his ire to the sidelines.
But not at head coach Jason Garrett. Instead, he should blame the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders.
Based on recent history, having cheerleaders on the sidelines may be the ultimate championship killer.
There are six teams in the NFL that do not have cheerleaders: the...
