Dallas 37, Atlanta 21 →
The Cowboys did not exorcise all of their demons in Sunday’s 37-21
win over Atlanta, but the win was a good start. Miles Austin continued
to look unstoppable, catching six passes for 171 yards and…
Time is now for Cowboys offense at full strength →
Marion Barber(notes) darted outside and scooted past the New York Giants defense before pulling up lame 10 yards shy of the go-ahead touchdown.
The Dallas Cowboys scored anyway, but that 35-yard Marion run a month ago was the last time their offense had all the key parts in the same game. That’s supposed to change Sunday against Atlanta, a playoff contender and the first of five straight NFC...
Dallas Cowboys’ Roy Williams believes he and Romo... →
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Roy Williams knows the numbers are ugly.
Catching just 30 passes for 412 yards and two touchdowns in 14 games since being traded to Dallas from Detroit for three draft picks while getting a $9 million annual salary has him admittedly frustrated.
He has been subjected to ridicule in what has been so far a disappointing return to Texas for the former Longhorns star.

Cowboys Are 15-5 After Bye Weeks →
The NFL first added a bye week during the 1990 season. During the 1990 season, the league had two bye weeks, while in each of the other seasons, the league had one. The Cowboys have had 20 bye weeks since 1990 and have gone 15-5 in the weeks following byes. The last time that Dallas lost in a week following a bye was 2004, when the Cowboys lost to the Giants.
50 Seasons Series: Cowboys Fail to Retool in 1984 →
The Cowboys lost some big guns after the 1983 season with the retirement of Harvey Martin, Drew Pearson, Billy Joe DuPree, and Pat Donovan. The team had suffered through some mediocre drafts and could use a strong draft in 1984.
Instead, the Cowboys got more of the same. The team’s first-round pick had a famous name thanks to his father, but Billy Cannon, Jr. only played in eight games due to an...
Comparing Trades: Joey Galloway vs. Roy Williams →
Jean-Jacques Taylor had a couple of blog posts today where he argued that the trade for receiver Roy Williams in 2008 was much worse than the Cowboys’ trade for Joey Galloway in 2000. There is…
Cowboys Still Rank 2nd in Total Offense →
With the Saints throwing all over the place against the Giants last
weekend, the Cowboys lost their #1 ranking on offense. Nevertheless,
the team still ranks second overall and has respectable…

Before the noon games today, the Eagles had to hope for two teams to win just to have a chance to make the playoffs. Philadelphia got that wish when the Raiders beat the Buccaneers and the Texans…

Start time for Cowboys-Eagles game moved back |... →
The start time for Sunday’s playoff-deciding Dallas Cowboys game at Philadelphia has been moved back.
Because of the high stakes, the NFL announced kickoff has been moved to 4:15 p.m. eastern time — that’s 3:15 p.m. Dallas/Fort Worth time.
The game previously had an early afternoon start.
Dallas can clinch a wild card if it picks up victory No. 10 in Philadelphia.

The Cowboys won’t rush their injured players back to the practice field this week just because Sunday’s game against the Eagles is a do-or-die situation.

If the Cowboys don’t make the playoffs – it’s pretty iffy after a devastating 33-24 loss to Baltimore on Saturday night – then Jerry Jones must fire Wade Phillips.
Dallas Cowboys' Hamlin takes blame for loss |... →
Ken Hamlin took the blame. That’s what captains do. Hamlin made three key mistakes in the Cowboys’ loss to the Baltimore Ravens at Texas Stadium. “I’m shouldering all the blame,” he said. “I don’t mind it. I feel like I had opportunities to make plays, and I didn’t give us another opportunity to go out there and play [on offense]. I didn’t live...

Goodbye to Texas Stadium. Goodbye to the hole in the roof. Goodbye to the Ring of Honor. Goodbye to the memories, good and great. Goodbye to their seats that may have passed through generations.

On Tuesday, five Cowboys were named to the 2008 Pro Bowl: tight end Jason Witten, linebacker DeMarcus Ware, nose tackle Jay Ratliff, guard Leonard Davis and center Andre Gurode.
Tony Romo refuses to back down against Giants |... →
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo proved he could bounce back once again. But this time he did it in tricky December, amid concerns where his passes were headed and with a bruised lower back. Romo kept the Cowboys in the wild-card picture with a 20-8 victory against the New York Giants and avoided a two-game losing streak.
Dallas Cowboys' defense playing at January level... →
Right on time, the Phillips 3-4 defense has arrived. Unleashing a pass rush against Eli Manning that we haven’t seen around here in maybe 20 years, the Cowboys’ defense was dominant in its most important game of the season Sunday night.

Terence Newman called out coaches and players Friday. He first did it on ESPN. And later, in front of his Valley Ranch locker, he backed up his statement. He said if the coaches want accountability from the players, then it should reciprocate.
Drama? This win shows Dallas Cowboys may thrive on... →
The Cowboys quit bickering and searching for locker room snitches long enough to beat the NFL’s best team. Impressive. Hey, give the coach some credit too, now that Wade Phillips has finally revealed he’s calling all of the defensive signals, because this unit put on another dazzling performance against New York, sacking Eli Manning eight times and keeping the Giants out of the end...

The Cowboys spent as much time this week talking down the rumors of dissension as the media spent touting the infighting. The team certainly played like it was fighting as one, and much of the…

Terrell Owens said he doesn’t want to create controversy.
