In the post-game conference following the Cowboys 35-17 loss to the Jaguars, head coach Wade Phillips continued his pathetic trend of having no answers and appearing to not know what is happening around him. “It was embarrassing the way we played, the way we coached,” said Phillips. “I’m at a loss right now, certainly, because if I knew what to do I would have done it.” There you have it folks. Wade Phillips admitted what we all have noticed over the last few years. He has no idea what to do. Wade is a defensive head coach and the defense has been [...]

Another Sunday, another loss. The 2010 Dallas Cowboys continue their free fall and it is more evident than ever that something needs to change. Not just small changes in the line-up, but major changes throughout the entire organization. An obvious start would be to fire the coaching staff and put a new one in to place. Wade Phillips and Jason Garrett have done nothing but to help contribute to the Cowboys failure. Unfortunately for Cowboys fans, you can expect to see Phillips on the sideline for the remainder of the season. Despite public demand to fire Wade Phillips immediately, owner [...]

The defense is predictable and cannot tackle, the ball bounces off the hands of the receivers for interceptions, and our offensive line has penalties on positive plays. What the krunk? Lewis is too good to cover in that much open space. Yes the players are culpable, but the defensive scheme must put them in a position to succeed. We are failing at that right now. Owusu-Ansah isn’t special. There is nothing seen that suggests he should continue returning kicks. In his defense, he gets to at least the 20 and doesn’t fumble, but mediocrity should not he satisfactory. We want [...]

The full list of inactives for todays game in Big D against the Jacksonville Jaguars has been released. In no surprise, Tony Romo is the biggest name on the list of inactives for the Cowboys. Chris Gronkowski, the rookie fullback who inexplicably blew a block that left Romo with the broken collarbone, has been benched for today’s game. It is clear that he wasn’t ready for the NFL after he completely missed New York Giants linebacker Michael Boley on the blitz last week. Tight end Scott Chandler will likely fill in for Gronkowski, as he did in week 5 against [...]

The Dallas Cowboys are on six nationally televised games this year (including the Thanksgiving game).  That leaves 10 games which may or may not be aired on local television.  Fans who live outside of Texas and paid the $300 for the NFL Sunday Ticket have no concerns about being able to watch the game; fans who go to their local bar (equipped with the Sunday Ticket) also have no concerns.  As it turns out, the money they save by not purchasing the NFL Sunday ticket can be used to buy beer, wings, pizza, and nachos (nearly $30 per outing). The [...]

The Dallas Cowboys are desperate for a win and with two tough games against the Packers and Giants ahead, Dallas needs to get the W today against Jacksonville. It would only be the team’s second win of the year, but even worse . . . it would be their first home win of the season. Dallas should look to get their running game on track against Jacksonville’s 25th ranked rush defense. Jon Kitna will be making the start in place of the injured Tony Romo, and he will need all the help he can get. If the running game gets [...]

Accuscore takes a look at what has to happen to improve the Cowboys chances of winning, while they also investigate what Dallas needs to do to ensure victory. The key: stop Maurice Jones-Drew.

The Dallas Cowboys defenders read like a murders row. Every player is known, some are even famous. Ware, Spencer, Ratliff, Brooking, Newman, Jenkins, and even the ultimate scary movie sidekick – IGOR. Ware is often praised as the greatest defensive player in all of football… but is he feared? Is anyone feared on the Dallas defense? Offensive tackles fear being embarrassed, but are quarterbacks worried about their career? A common complaint around my house is that Ware is a spectacular athlete and when he gets to the quarterback, he gives them a hug, lifts them off the ground, and gently [...]

The Dallas Cowboys have dug themselves into a dismal hole.  It has been presumed that the season will continue to spiral downward and the Cowboys will be drafting in the top 5 spots of the 2011 NFL Draft.  With Tony Romo nursing his broken clavicle for the next six to eight weeks, it is unlikely he will return to a team fighting to make the playoffs.  One columnist believes Romo should be placed onto the injured reserve (IR) list.  But what if the Cowboys are in the hunt? Just last year the Tennessee Titans started their season with six straight [...]

The injuries keep on coming for Dallas. Everyone knows that Tony Romo is out for what looks to be eight weeks, while offensive lineman Kyle Kosier continues to be bitten by the injury bug and is listed as day-to-day. Kosier’s back up, Montrae Holland, is also listed as day-to-day with a groin strain, which could lead to undrafted rookie Phil Costa getting the start Sunday. Another rookie could be seeing significant playing time with the team’s latest injury news. Defensive end Jason Hatcher could miss four to six weeks after being diagnosed with a “significant groin strain.” With Hatcher’s injury, [...]
