Laurent Robinson Wants to Stay
Speaking on ESPN Dallas 103.3 FM’s Ben and Skin Show, Laurent Robinson expressed his desire to stay with the Cowboys, regardless of what his role might be on the team. He added, “Money doesn’t drive me to play this game. I play because I like to have fun. I think I have a good fit here with the Cowboys.”

Blind Item - Cheating Quarterback
I don’t normally go in for player personal life gossip, but I promised stuff you might not find elsewhere. Also, this could potentially be a big deal.
Via Gawker and Crazy Days and Nights:
“This NFL quarterback is cheating on his pregnant wife with this Twilight actress he met at a charity event over the holidays.”
There are only three quarterbacks in the NFL right now with...

The 2011 Dallas Cowboys: Post-mortem
You may have noticed a lack of reaction posts for the loss to the Giants. Apologies for that, but I thought I would spare you all a post that repeatedly used the phrases “dickless” and “hurdled Newman.”
So… the 2011 Cowboys. What will history say about this team? Nothing. What should Cowboys fans say about this team? Nothing too nice and nothing too spiteful. The...

All I’ll say is the the one good thing to come out of this game is now all the fans who call for Stephen McGee any time Romo’s performance dips can shut up for ever and ever.
Merry Christmas, everyone.

Is it too much to ask to blow out a woeful team for more than 2 quarters? The 2011 Dallas Cowboys’ answer is: Yes.

Sure they made it out of Tampa with a win, but this team continues to let teams back into games in the second half. Romo’s fumble to start the third quarter was...

What is there to say? Another loss that should’ve been a win. Another late-game collapse by the defense.

This team has had such disastrous outcomes this season that they can be easily recognized when they start to repeat themselves. When Coughlin called the timeout to ice Dan Bailey, it wasn’t just a normal icing. It was Couglin saying, “Your missed...

PJ's Reaction: Week 13 - Cardinals 19, Cowboys 13
This one is always going to be remembered for the timeout. The kicking unit wasn’t really settled and the play clock was running down, so Jason Garrett made the judgment call to use a timeout from the sideline just before Dan Bailey kicked what would’ve been a game-winning field goal at the end of regulaton. If not for that, the game is over and it’s a W. But you already knew...

Some of the people I watched the game with naturally brought up Tony Romo’s botched hold in Seattle prior to Bailey’s kick. You know… I feel that as a result of that Seattle disaster, I wouldn’t want anyone else in the...

Thanksgiving 2011
Thanksgiving is a special time for Cowboys fans. It’s the time of year where we get two games in one week and we most likely get to enjoy at least one out of the two with family over a good meal. It’s the time of year where we all secretly pray to ourselves we’ll never have another Leon Lett moment. (Sorry for making you relive it.)
So, from us at The Cowboys Blog, we’d...

PJ's Reaction: Week 11 - Cowboys 27, Redskins 24
It’s really hard to think this one was almost pissed away. A 52-yard Graham Gano field goal barely sailing wide right is the only reason Washington didn’t hand Dallas a loss in a game which seemed as though the Cowboys would jump on the Redskins and never look back. It came down to a 39-yard Dan Bailey field goal which just passed over the right upright.

I really don’t remember the last time a Cowboys game had coverage switched by the network to a more competitive game because Dallas was blowing someone out (I live in the San Antonio market which did this in addition to the Rio Grande Valley and Oklahoma City, that I know of).

Miles Austin OUT 3-5 Weeks
DallasCowboys.com is reporting that Miles Austin will be out at least 3 weeks with an injury to his right hamstring (last time it was his left). Austin could be out as long as 5 weeks.
Laurent Robinson will likely start at the number two WR next week against the Bills.

There’s not much to get excited about or dwell on in this one. You’d like to think we could’ve blown the Seahawks out of the water, but with the way this season has gone, a W is simply a W.

The only thing you can really take away about this one is that Miles Austin is hurt and we don’t know how long his hamstring is going to be a...

Not Concerned
“This is not about re-examining everything we do. This is about being disappointed in not winning this football game. That’s how I can not be concerned.” - Jerry Jones
Part truth, part unexpected rational thinking by Jerry Jones. I for one am intrigued. This loss was tough, but I don’t know many people that believe the Cowboys are actually as bad as they looked...

Before we get into it, I’d just like to say I’ve absolutely seen enough from these players: Keith Brooking, Martellus Bennett, Montrae Holland and Bradie James. Addition by subtraction has worked very well so far under Jason Garrett.

I truly believe that Sean Lee being out of the game hurt us as far as what we expected to be able to do on...

PJ's Reaction: Week 7 - Cowboys 34, Rams 7
We finally had a game that spared us nervous breakdowns. Before we dive in, let’s temper all of this by reminding ourselves this was the winless St. Louis Rams — not even playing at full strength. They had a new quarterback and a new number one receiver. We simply handled business here and anything less than winning the way we did would’ve been cause for concern.
And as much as...

NFC East Favorites
I think the Cowboys have played better than any other team in the division so far, week in and week out, and I can certainly see why someone would think they’re the favorites to win this division even though they’re 2-3 and in third place. - Dan Graziano of ESPN
We’ve been saying it since they’re week 1 loss to the Jets, the Cowboys are good. Despite their youth at many...

After the first four games of the season, we’ve experienced the full thrill and crushing depression of the Romo-coaster (I wish I could take credit for coining such a terrible phrase, but it’s not mine). Where has that left us? Hopefully, you’re like me and you haven’t dwelled in either extreme. Hopefully, you’ve come down from anger/distress and you’re in a...

PJ's Reaction: Week 4 - Lions 34, Cowboys 30
When time expired, all I could think to myself was: “This one falls entirely on Romo.” If he doesn’t throw just one of those three interceptions, there’s no way the Lions claw their way back into the game.
The more I thought about it, the more I thought there was more to the loss than just Romo. Romo doesn’t feel the need to make those risky throws if the running...

If you had told me yesterday that the Cowboys would win a game this year solely by virtue of Dan Bailey going 6 for 6 on field goals, I would have shaken your hand, patted your head and made a donation to a charity that helps people like you. Cowboys kickers simply doesn’t have perfect games anymore and it certainly is never enough with all the mistakes we tend to make in every other phase...

Is The Star A Target On Our Backs?
For the longest time I’ve tried to come up with an explanation for some of the crazy disaster seasons the Cowboys have endured since the days of Troy, Emmitt and Michael. Today, I think I have a more clear idea of one of the reasons thanks to Washington Redskins wide receiver Santana Moss.
In an interview about the upcoming Monday night game between the NFC East rivals, Moss said something...

Tony Romo Played With a Punctured Lung And More
By now, you’ve no doubt heard that Tony Romo finished the second half of Sunday’s game against the 49ers with a punctured lung in addition to a fractured rib.
What you probably haven’t heard is that he also lead the team to victory while:
1. Chewing gum.

3. Conjuring the Holy Ghost to inhabit Jesse Holley
4. Canceling his Netflix subscription.
