Cowboys news: George Pickens talks sense of urgency into Week 2
It wasn’t the best game for George Pickens against the Giants with three receptions for 28 yards. With that said, he addressed his shortcomings and also spoke on what the team is thinking going into Week 2. Christian Parker and his defense failed their first test, but there isn’t a lack of confidence that things […]
Cowboys offensive line versus Commanders defensive line
The Dallas Cowboys are facing a close to “must-win” game as going 0-2, especially within the NFC East, is a tough hole to climb out of. They face the Washington Commanders in hopes of evening things in regards to their record, and a lot of winning in the NFL comes in the trenches. Today, we’ll […]
Cowboys playoff tracker: How loss to Giants affects Cowboys’ playoff chances

And we will continue doing this until a playoff berth is secured – or until they are eliminated from playoff contention. With the season opener out of the way, the Giants […]
How to fix the Cowboys Sunday night defensive disaster
The Dallas Cowboys’ defense on Sunday night was an absolute sieve. It was especially disappointing, considering the elevated expectations we placed on this new group from the multitude of big changes the team made over the last several months. The New York Giants made this unit look silly as the defense failed to do the […]
Cowboys injuries: DeMarvion Overshown, Malik Hooker DNP
Who could’ve seen that coming? After an all-businesslike offseason, the Dallas Cowboys were anything but in the first game of the year. The Cowboys suffered some bumps and bruises in the loss to New York, and therefore their injury report has a few more names on it than it did last week. Here is the […]
2026 NFL Week 2: Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Commanders
Welcome to Week 2 of the Dallas Cowboys season. For the first, and hopefully last, time the Cowboys are looking to bounce back from a loss. This past Sunday was a humbling experience for the Cowboys as they had an enormous amount of positivity heading into the season opener, but football is a meritocracy and […]
Cowboys vs. Commanders: Matchups to watch in Week 2
After last week’s embarrassing performance against the New York Giants, the Dallas Cowboys return home this week to take on another division foe, the Washington Commanders. Hopefully playing in front of their hometown crowd will light the fire inside everyone that look to be lacking last week, because they can’t afford to start 0-2, especially […]

With NFL Week 1 in the books, lets take a look at how first-year defensive coordinator Christian Parker and his revamped defense looked against the Giants.

3 things we learned about the Cowboys in Week 1 loss
The Dallas Cowboys kicked off the season against the New York Giants, and it gave them a shot to get a big win in the NFC East. Many thought it would happen due to the Cowboys dominance against the Giants over the last decade, but things didn’t turn out that way. For the game, Dallas […]
Cowboys positional rankings reveal where accountability needs to start
For me it’s quite simple: Because the expectations for the offense and defense were quite high, and both units were outcoached and outplayed by the Giants, the accountability falls squarely on Brian Schottenheimer and Christian Parker. Alas, if only simple answers were the right answers – they almost never are. One of the team captains, […]
Cowboys defense is still the problem after loss to Giants
Football is back, and for Dallas Cowboys fans around the world, so is the disappointment that is often associated with this team. For the better part of 60 minutes, the Dallas Cowboys were taken to task by their division rival, the Giants. Both sides of the ball struggled, leading to a season-opening loss, but today […]
Cowboys news: Jerry Jones wants better communication on defense
The Dallas Cowboys spent the entire offseason saying Christian Parker would elevate communication on defense. That was his bread and butter. Jerry and Stephen Jones echoed that it was a leading reason they hired him. On Sunday night, the Cowboys owner was left disappointed by how bad it looked against the New York Giants. Dallas […]
Cowboys report card: Grading Week 1 vs. the Giants
The Dallas Cowboys’ chances of winning Sunday night against the Giants felt gone in a New York minute. Dallas’ opening drive ended with the offense looking out of rhythm, while the New York offense, led by Jaxson Dart, couldn’t be stopped. Jerry Jones and the front office invested a ton of resources into the defense […]
Brian Schottenheimer report card: Cowboys culture crashes in Week 1
After a disastrous 2025 season, the Dallas Cowboys hoped to rebound in the 2026 season bringing back the entire starting offense in 2026, and completely new look defense and coaching staff. Things could not have started out worse for the 2026 Cowboys, after dropping their week one game on the road in MetLife against the […]
Concern around Brandon Aubrey feels fair right now
Brandon Aubrey missed an extra point on Sunday night against the New York Giants. No harm, no foul. Extra points are missed all of the time in the NFL, right? We shouldn’t be freaking out over a single kick. This isn’t like early in Aubrey’s career where he was automatic and the out-of-nowhere miss was […]
Cowboys rookie report: Caleb Downs had one big moment in Giants loss
The Dallas Cowboys opened their season with a disappointing 28–20 loss to the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium.

2026 NFL Week 2 Power Rankings: Cowboys refuse to live up to expectations
Every team in the NFL has officially played a game. Half of the fanbases across the league are feeling like anything is possible where the other side, including us, is questioning football fandom at large. So goes the ride. Seasons are marathons and stumbling out of the gate is hardly proof that the whole journey […]
Cowboys at Giants: The good, the bad, and the ugly
Losing 28-20 to the New York Giants is not the way any of us expected the Dallas Cowboys to kick off the 2026 NFL season, and yet, that’s exactly what happened. The Giants came out and played with a purpose, completely dominating the game from start to finish. And the Cowboys, they looked unprepared and […]
Cowboys fans decide what the big problem was in Giants loss
That didn’t go well. The Dallas Cowboys thought they would start off their 2026 campaign with a win over the New York Giants, like usual. Turns out, this was not the same Giants football club they were used to. The Giants wore the Cowboys out with a strong running game and Jaxson Dart’s accurate passing. […]
Cowboys outcoached, outplayed at Giants to start 0-1 in division
The 2026 Dallas Cowboys began their season with a loss that made things feel like 2025 all over again, for an abundance of reasons, and really not many of them good. The last loss of last season was at MetLife Stadium to the New York Giants, and now this new season began with a season-opening […]
Cowboys Week 1 fallout: 6 possessions and a funeral
What a bunch of horse manure. Sorry for such a vivid description, but organic soil fertilizer is the only way to accurately capture the aroma of the broken spirit of this Cowboys fan. After months of begrudgingly building up excitement for this Dallas Cowboys football team, this is our reward. Maybe a little of that’s […]
Cowboys add another running back to the active roster
The Dallas Cowboys are continuing to add to the running back position. Before Malik Davis went down with season-ending hip surgery in practice last week, the team had already added Emari Demercado via waiver claims after training camp. Then, after Davis was placed on injured reserve, they signed Israel Abanikanda from the practice squad to […]
Cowboys news: Young defenders made mistakes, “critical” improvements needed

Quinnen Williams was vocal after the loss […]
Cowboys at Giants Stock Report: Christian Parker, Javonte Williams lead disappointments
The wounds had just healed. We all had moved on from the 2025 Dallas Cowboys and their historically bad defense. The team seemed to do this as well, especially with regards to action.
