Know Your Dallas Cowboys: The Blog

Let’s get the bad out of the way:
* The Cowboys managed a total of one yard rushing. Marion Barber entered the game needing 19 yard to surpass 1,000 for the season. He finished with negative 6.
* Tony Romo played the entire first half plus a drive in the third quarter. He was […]

Five Cowboys are going to sit out of Sunday’s game against Washington, including Terrell Owens, Terence Newman, Andre Gurode, Pat Watkins, and Jay Ratliff. And even though Terry Glenn is expected to make an appearance, Tony Romo probably will not play much, if at all.
For these reasons, along with the fact that Dallas has […]

Here are some trivia questions of a different variety, focusing on players who have played for both the Cowboys and the Redskins at some points in their careers. This is by no means a comprehensive list, but some of the players are pretty obscure. I’ll try to help by dividing the players […]

The single question last week asked what the biggest question of the week was. The questions were:
1. Can the Cowboys overcome the offensive implosion from last week’s game?
2. Is Tony Romo’s thumb going to continue to cause problems in the passing game?
3. Will the Daisy Duke/T.O. spat cause tensions that the Cowboys will have […]

Merry Christmas to everyone. Most of the talk surrounding the Cowboys has focused on: (1) how much effort the Cowboys should put into winning next Sunday’s game against Washington; (2) how much playing time can we expect to see from Tony Romo and other starters; (3) whether Terry Glenn can have an impact when […]

I’m not sure whether to thank the Chicago Bears or the Chicago weather, but either way, the Cowboys secured home field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs with their win on Saturday and Green Bay’s 35-7 loss to the Bears on Sunday. The win gives Terrell Owens three weeks to rest his ankle. Moreover, […]

This is the type of win that will likely drop the Cowboys in a few power ranking polls, but it really doesn’t matter. The Cowboys came off a week of distractions in the form of injuries and off-the-field matters to pull out a tough road victory that turned out to be very important. […]

After last week’s debacle, I thought I’d give the Nostradamus Quatrain Generator another shot. Here we go:

The twelve red ones will spoil the cover
And war reign happily […]
