TEAMS: Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys and Giants head into the last three weeks of the 2011 season with a lot on the line. The NFC East division title is still up for grabs. I was looking at the NFL tie breakers and added where both the Giants and Cowboys stand as of right now. The Cowboys and Giants are tied in the NFC East with 7-6 records. Of course the Giants are ahead due to their victory last weekend in Dallas. Here is the breakdown of the tie breakers. 1.Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs).

Cowboys QB Kitna placed on injured reserve

Via Fox Sports Southwest  |  December 14, 2011
IRVING, Texas (AP) -- The Dallas Cowboys have put Jon Kitna on injured reserve, ending the quarterback's 15th NFL season and possibly his career. The 39-year-old Kitna, in his third season as Tony Romo's backup, hasn't played since Nov. 13 because of a back injury. Kitna's most extensive action with Dallas came last season after Romo broke his collarbone. In 10...

Who to blame: Dallas edition

Via The Colts Authority  |  December 12, 2011
The Cowboys have begun their annual meltdown and Bill Barnwell is looking for the scapegoat.  I agree with most of his assessments except (and I never thought I'd say this) blaming Tony Romo for the loss.  Romo gave up a horrific safety and missed Miles Austin once but other than that had a pretty good game.  In the end however the Cowboys lost because they couldn't stop...

Week 15 Target Report: Laurent Robinson Still Valued?

Via Top Fantasy Football  |  December 14, 2011
Laurent Robinson only caught 4 passes against the Giants, but he made the most of them with 137 yards and a score. If you had asked me last week whether or not to start Laurent Robinson against the Giants, I would have told you no. With Miles Austin finally back from his hamstring injury, Robinson’s value was supposed to plunge. As the No, 3 behind Austin and Dez Bryant, how...

Fantasy Football Week 15 Start / Sit

Via Fantasy Football Maniaxs  |  December 12, 2011
Fantasy football week 15 start sit advice The Fantasy Gods Giveth and the Fantasy Gods Taketh Away. One of the saving graces for fantasy owners this year was Dallas Cowboys RB DeMarco Murray. He was supposed to be no more than a third down running back, but after a 253-yard rushing effort against the St. Louis Rams, he emerged as a RB1. From Week 9 to Week 12 he tallied over...

Tom Landry: The 20-Year Winner A reader named Bruce Lombard earlier this year most generously sent me a stack of copies of the old Dallas Cowboys Official Weekly from the 1985 season and 1986 offseason. Each Wednesday, we will take a look at some interesting tidbits in these issues. The focus this week is in the issue published on December 14, 1985. Another Blowout Loss For only...

Jerry Jones: Garrett's job not in jeopardy

Via Fox Sports Southwest  |  December 13, 2011
Speculate all you want, but Jason Garrett isnt going anywhere. Asked Tuesday on his weekly radio show if Garretts job as head coach is in jeopardy, Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones seemed surprised the question was even sent in his direction. "Thats not a question, in my mind, that is worth responding to," Jones said on on 105.3 The Fan (KRLD-FM). But the...

Before Dallas Called, Morris Thought His Career Was Over

Via NBC Cowboys Blog  |  December 14, 2011
A few years ago, the Cowboys had a running back problem. The problem was, they had too many, each with a unique skill set, and never seemed all that certain how to distribute carries between them. These were the bygone days of Smash, Tash’ and Dash, referring to Marion Barber, Tashard Choice and Felix Jones. Now, the team has much the opposite problem. Felix is the only of...

Cowboys place RB Murray on IR

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  December 13, 2011
The Dallas Cowboys placed rookie running back DeMarco Murray on season-ending injured reserve. Murray suffered a fractured right ankle in Sunday night's loss to the New York Giants. The third-round pick out of Oklahoma had revived Dallas' running game after starter Felix Jones was hurt earlier in the season, rushing for three 100-yard games, including a franchise-record...

Garrett’s thoughts and prayers centered on Phillips

Via Dallas Cowboys And The NFL  |  December 14, 2011
Jason Garrett said he would have no problem with Cowboys assistant coach Wes Phillips leaving the team to be at his father’s side. Texans defensive coordinator and former Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips said Wednesday he will have surgery this week to address a kidney condition. Wade Phillips, 64, declined to specify the condition, but he said it is not life-threatening, not cancer...

Memorable Moments in Sports: Tony Romo’s Botched Snap

Via Unathletic  |  December 14, 2011
It’s only fitting that we post this video after the total debauchery that was the Cowboys loss this weekend.  As a Giants fan I can only smile.   As a Cowboys fan you people must still be dry heaving right now. Look, Romo is a very good quarterback and he did some good things in that last drive but come on.   I know there’s no textbook definition for this but shouldn...

Martellus Bennett Back At Practice

Via NBC Dallas- Fort Worth  |  December 13, 2011
Tight end Martellus Bennett returned to practice on Tuesday, after missing last week with a rib injury suffered in the overtime loss to Arizona. Bennett has been a non-factor for the most part as a receiver this season, but he has earned a reputation around Valley Ranch for his abilities as a blocker--meaning that this might be good news for the run game, which was dealt a significant...

Fourth Quarters Under Garrett Not Good

Via NBC Cowboys Blog  |  December 12, 2011
In the 21 games with Jason Garrett as the Dallas Cowboys head coach, the red-headed Ivy Leaguer has compiled a 12-9 record after Sunday night's crushing, somewhat shocking loss to their NFC East foe New York Giants. But was it really all that shocking to watch the Cowboys blow a 12-point lead with around five minutes to play in the game that would've all but sealed the division...

Going Forward The Playoffs Begin Now for the Dallas Cowboys

Via NFL Football Online  |  December 14, 2011
Going Forward I think there is a general consensus in the football world that the Dallas Cowboys are in a heap of trouble. For two consecutive weeks the 'Boys have had an opportunity to distance themselves away from the NFC East pack after taking the division lead during a four game win streak. But for the last two weeks the Cowboys have gotten out coached and out hustled...
