Tony Romo: Will Romo continue his MVP season against the Eagles? I say yes and he needs to if the Cowboys are going to stay in the playoff hunt. It is all but do or die time for the Cowboys, and Romo is going to play a huge role for the Cowboys. In the past few weeks Romo has looked unstoppable and had it not been for poor defense the Cowboys would already have clinched a playoff spot. Romo has to have a nearly flawless game against the Eagles and get all recovers involved. I see Romo going off for [...]

It is less than 24 hours from kickoff, so with no further adieu, we will get right to the question of the week. Ben, San Antonio :How are the cowboys gonna stop the suddenly-hot eagles who are coming off of an offensive beat-down scoring 45 points vs The jets defense? Mark Contreras: I don’t think they’re going to stop the Eagles. I think Romo and the offense are going to have to out score Vick and the Eagles and its gonna be in the 30s.. In fact, the game is going to look a lot like the Giants game two weeks ago [...]

In the previous game of Cowboys vs Eagles, the Cowboys were roasted for 34 points and an extremely good game from Vick. This week, it won’t be the same and Bruce Carter is one of the main reasons why. Week 8 was Bruce’s first active week in a Cowboys uniform, fresh off an ACL tear last December. He has suited up every game since and has been a constant contributor on special teams and on sub packages. This man has tons of physical ability, and we are about to get a big dose of it this week. Rob Ryan had [...]

Every week we ask all of The Landry Hat writers and contributors to submit their picks and predictions for the upcoming game. This week, we asked our experts for their prediction on the Dallas Cowboys vs. the Philadelphia Eagles game this Saturday. Steven Mullenax, Editor & Head Writer: On paper, the Eagles are a better team than the Cowboys. The Eagles are 3rd in the NFL in offense. And their defense ranks 10th. (Dallas ranks 6th and 13th respectively) But when these two teams match-up, throw these numbers out of the ole’ prediction pot because emotion is what seems to [...]

I dominated my office fantasy football league this season.  I went into the playoffs as the #1 seed riding a 7-game winning streak.  I was already clearing room on my shelf for the champion’s trophy and room in my ego for a year’s worth of bragging rights.  Unfortunately, things don’t always work out the way they should.  With Aaron Rodgers and the Packers deciding to take a week off, I lost convincingly to the #4 seed who predictably knows almost nothing about football.   He did, however, have Tony Romo as his quarterback.  Bittersweet in that Tony had a stellar game [...]

For the fantasy football participant, this should be the first or second week of your playoffs. Each week is more intense as you eye that prize money, if you’re in the money leagues or just eye the right to be called Champ! In my league we play for big money and yours truly is in the semi-finals! Take a look at the pre-season and current statistics of the Dallas Cowboys who made fantasy rosters around the nation. A few things stood out: (1) Dan Bailey was the best pickup, post draft night; (2) DeMarco Murray was the 2nd best sleeper [...]

Before I get to the Cowboys Words For Success, I want to take a moment to wish all of our fans, readers, and staff a Merry Christmas. My wife is thankful that the Cowboys game is on Saturday, and not on Christmas, and she will finally have a peaceful Sunday for the first time since August. I hope to see many of you at the game, giving the Eagles the warm welcome that we are always afforded at Lincoln Financial Field. On a similar topic; I’m calling out ALL Cowboys fans. When Jerry Jones built his billion dollar playground, he [...]

Dallas Cowboys-related Tweet of the Week: @PaulAzinger “Americas team performing better than Americas economy! #cowboys” By this time, you probably know everything there is to know about the Cowboys’ 31-15 win in Tampa on Saturday. You’ve also probably dissected every possible playoff scenario after all those wild games (Around 1:03 EST, I said “Wouldn’t it be a great story if the Colts and Chiefs won today?” It’s the truth. Ask my brother) we witnessed on Sunday. Basically, ladies and gentlemen, it all comes down to the Cowboys taking care of their own business. We are in control of our own [...]

Jekyll, meet Hyde. These Dallas Cowboys seem to have a split personality.  It doesn’t appear they can decide whether they’re a team who puts it all together and closes out a game in the fourth quarter, or blows a lead and loses in dramatic fashion.  In five games this season, the Cowboys were able to make the stops when it counted and put the game away…against the 49ers, Redskins twice, Miami, and these Bucs.  Likewise, in five games the Boys have blown leads and failed to close the game out…against the Jets, Lions, Patriots, Cardinals, and Giants.  For their playoff [...]
