    Food for thought

    Offense wins when it gets opportunities, which actually come from the defense in the form of stops and turnovers. If you get two to five more drives each game your offense is going to look really good by comparison.

    Sean Lee added to Pro Bowl

    Hard to see Ginger ever seriously coaching again. Maybe QB coach-- even Wade Wilson can hoodwink that spot.

    Best hands award of 2015!

    Awesome

    All offensive co-ordinators

    Continuity with the previous staff is a big reason and also a Rooney Rule loophole. That continuity matters a lot, especially with young QBs.

    Sean Lee added to Pro Bowl

    When he was actually on the field. It's always going to be the same with this guy. Outstanding player, just can't stay out of the ice tub.

    It's official... I'm off the Romo bandwagon. Can't wait until he's gone.

    Can't blame Romo for drinking the Cowboy Koolaid. He's known nothing else and pretty much has no other choice. What's clear is the current staff can't win shit without him. He's a beast and has been poorly supported his entire career. What other 2014 playoff team had a defense as horrific as...

    Who you got? Week 7

    Close, but Dallas has to win this so Dallas.

    DeMarcus Lawrence

    Ouch. Unlike Pittman, DLaw gets a lot of cred though for his game-ender vs Detroit. But he needs a stout and powerful player to play next to. He can't last playing next to Nick Hayden or playing LDE.

    Why the Cowboys miss Bill Callahan this season

    Blaming the OL is bullshit. They've been fine, in fact I've seen protection for Weeden above and beyond the call of duty. No offensive line in the history of the NFL has ever won a game. You must have skill players, and right now Dallas has the worst RB talent, the worst WR talent, and the...

    Harvard bean counters give Dallas only a 23% chance of making the playoffs

    Pro Football Reference stats will be a truer measure of older players than younger ones, and those teams with older players will be more affected by age and injury than those with younger players. So younger teams right off the bat are not properly evaluated. Also an assumption that the entire...

    Randy Gregory on past mistakes: 'I dug my own grave'

    To thin to win right now. Needs to build strength, muscle, and stamina before he contributes in any way we can depend on.

    Anyone else see a possible 2-3 or even a 1-4 start to the 2015 season?

    Tough early start, though I will say the Cowboys make it tough on those other teams, too. No Hardy, no McClain, no Murray... so what. It's time these young Cowboys took ownership of the team. Terrance Williams, Demarcus Lawrence, JJ Wilcox, Zach Martin, Anthony Hitchens, Ronald Leary, Mo...

    NFL personnel rank Tony Romo as second-tier QB

    There's no such thing as a "1" who can win it for you every week. Maybe Aaron Rodgers. Everyone else has help and sometimes lots of help. I guarantee you Brady doesn't win a single championship without Bellichick. Peyton Manning beat up on the post Coughlin Jags, Titans, and Texans most of...

    The History of Rule Changes That Affected Passer Ratings

    You tell 'em, Statman. Staubach was awesome. When the pas rush was fierce, he got fiercer and was one of the few players I've seen who could will others up to his level. He controlled the game with his arm, his legs, and most importantly his head. He was Roger the Dodger for a reason, but he...

    What IS that something?

    The only problem I had was an occasional play-call out of empty backfield or shotgun with fewer than 3 yards to go. That should never have happened with Murray available. You need to threaten run as often as possible. Pretty minor overall considering the progress the team made from 2013.

    The History of Rule Changes That Affected Passer Ratings

    I think the improving trend is caused by generations of players and coaches inspired by the passing game and working harder and from a younger age to get better at it. You are correct that the rules change made in 1978 accelerated it, but IMO it was inevitable. At that time the NFL had all...

    The History of Rule Changes That Affected Passer Ratings

    Professionals got better at practicing and taking care of their bodies. Used to be few QBs could throw an accurate deep pass especially under pressure. Now every QB worth a damn can make every kind of pass in almost any situation. The rules changes had less to do with it than the fact...

    Darren McFadden

    There's a small part of me that's hoping for a resurgence from McFadden, like Charles White and Garrison Hearst had when they went to better teams late in their careers. McFadden will have the best team around him he's ever had for sure, but is there too much tread on his tires to take...

    DMN: Eberflus on Sean Lee

    Preach it, man. This sucks.

    Jerry loves our D-line... It's now a strength

    Clearly they need it for competition and depth if nothing else. If he's in football shape no way he doesn't pass Hayden the moment he steps onto the practice field. I'm guessing he's ridiculously overweight and out of shape at this point though. Too bad, because he made Seattle's run defense...
