Not only did the Cowboys lose to the Packers this past Sunday, but they lost some players as well.
Starting right tackle, Marc Columbo, is most likely out for the season with a broken fibula on his left leg after severe contact with a Packer defender.
Columbo, up to that point, had not missed a start for the Cowboys and really was playing great. Last year, Dr. Z, the well-respected Sports Illustrated writer put Marc Columbo on his All-Pro team.
Columbo was recently signed to a long extension and he is obviously very upset with the setback.
After Columbo was lost, Dallas proceeded to allow a season high five [...]

If you are a real passionate fan that loves the Dallas Cowboys as much as I do, you will understand the emotions I had going through that game.
I see the low scoring numbers, and I'm wondering when is the bomb going to go off? It never happened. It felt like Super Bowl XLII where you are constantly wondering when the Patriots offense was going to finally click and destroy the Giants like they had done to every team before that game.
Dallas has never been able to keep a lead that close safe. Not to a great team anyway. They are either ahead by two or more scores or they are driving trying to win the game in the fourth [...]

One thing I learned very quickly when I was a writer was that I may not have the answers. Because I am a human being, I am capable of error, so it never hurts to have a second opinion.
This is where Robert Allred comes in. I met Robert through are common love for the Dallas Cowboys, and he is a writer whose work I definitely would pay to read.
I was up a few nights ago, and I thought, 'Why not ask him for a second opinion?' So, I emailed him immediately with a few questions, and the results are in.
The paragraphs in bold are the questions, the paragraphs in italicized print are Robert's answers, and my own answers are in regular print.
Without further adieu, here is the [...]

There was a section on MSN.com about Roy Williams possibly being another Terrell Owens which we can all sum up in a few words like selfish, whiny, and destructive.
The quotes given were taken from a direct article by Tom Orsborn on mysanantonio.com
Roy Williams said, "I'm the No. 1 receiver, but things are just going No. 2's way.”
Immediately, one could think that he is complaining about the ball not being thrown to him, but that isn't the case here.
This rumor here needs to be blown into tiny little pieces before ESPN starts acting [...]

Dallas followed up their dominating performance over the Falcons with a duplication against the Seattle Seahawks.
Dallas again, won on all three parts of the game. They were playmakers on offense, smothering on defense, and the special teams was once again, the smoking gun to end the game.
Patrick Crayton followed a 74 yard punt return last week with an 82 yard punt return against Seattle that was the signal that the game was over.
The main question that I have is: "Are you guys going to keep this up?"
Being a passionate and attentive [...]

After the Dallas Cowboys won the Falcons game, my good friend and fellow NFL fan voice, Dan Parzych, messaged me this: "I must say....that was one impressive victory for your Boys today. I'd say big, BIG statement game."
This was a big statement game yes, but did it surprise me? No, it did not.
The Dallas Cowboys were under a lot of pressure. They were a 4-2 team that looked like it was hanging on by the skin of their teeth instead of the dominant team that they were in 2007 or the team that looked great at times in [...]

The Dallas Cowboys have really come off to a slow start this year. If you could cut out some of their mistakes, they would be 5-0 instead of 3-2.
However, we cannot change the past, but we can learn from it.
What did Dallas learn from its past?
First off, they signed Allen Rossum, the 49ers punt and kick returner, to help improve plays on special teams. With Patrick Crayton muffing punts, and Terence Newman being injury-prone, the Cowboys needed a genuine return man to help in that third part of the game.
Helpful additions are only part of the equation. Dallas needs to be able to correct the flaws it makes with [...]

The Dallas Cowboys used to have three running backs that, I felt, were capable of starting on other NFL teams and could take 20+ carries a game.
However, Felix Jones is looking to be injury prone, which is heartbreaking, considering he could have won the Offensive Rookie of the Year last year and the lack of him on the field is easily noticed.
The Cowboys, without him. had to rely on Marion Barber, who was still nursing a quad injury, and Tashard Choice at Invesco Field at Mile High in Denver. The lack of a third running back to help with the oxygen [...]

First off, I want to congratulate the Denver Broncos. They beat the Cowboys and they proved they are not lucky to be 4-0.
Why did Dallas lose to Denver? That team did lose, but what parts were especially weak?
Well, the Cowboys were playing 5,280 feet above sea level and oxygen is hard to get. It wore them down. I remember they called a timeout to catch their breath, not because they needed to make an adjustment.
The lack of Felix Jones was sad too. He really could have helped when Tashard Choice and Marion Barber were heaving with the carries up there. Mile High is easily [...]

Running back Felix Jones has sprained his PCL (posterior cruciate ligament) and it is unknown whether or not he will play in week 4 against the Broncos.
He sprained it on a long run that led to a 1st and goal for the Cowboys. He was the starter originally because Marion Barber was held out for a quad injury.
Marion Barber should be back in time for the Broncos game though. Wade Phillips, the head coach, is unsure but optimistic about it. He actually wanted to play against the Panthers, but the Cowboys management held him out at their insistence.
Felix Jones, however, is going to take it easy for a little [...]
