Rafael Septien: Primed for Playoffs A reader named Bruce Lombard earlier this year most generously sent me a stack of copies of the old  Dallas Cowboys Official Weekly  from the 1985 season and 1986 offseason. Each Wednesday, we will take a look at some interesting tidbits in these issues. The focus this week is in the issue published on January 4, 1986. Sorry that I’m a day late on this one. Ask Tex Schramm: Preference of Numbers In 1982, the Cowboys made a subtle change to the... Read Full Story

Next Sunday’s game against the Giants is going to bring reminders of the 1993 finale in which the Cowboys won the NFC East and wrapped up home-field advantage by beating the Giants at the Meadowlands.  The similarities—Giants, at New York, vs. Dallas, NFC East title on the line.

When Dallas took a 14-0 lead in the first quarter, I told my young son that Dallas would score 50 tonight. By the end of the second quarter, I was half-right. Dallas led 28-0 thanks to three Tony Romo touchdown passes and a Romo touchdown run.  At that point, the Buccaneers had only managed one first down... Read Full Story

The Cowboys rid themselves of some underproductive and overpriced veterans last season. Dallas also let a long-time special teams ace leave via free agency. Unlike a few other recent events, those decisions have not come back to haunt the Cowboys this year. Here’s a summary: Roy Williams Roy drove us crazy during his tenure in Dallas. He would make a play now and then, but in between those plays, he would often drop some very easy passes that came his way. He hasn’t improved during... Read Full Story

Since the NFL expanded to a 16-game schedule in 1978, the Cowboys have started 7-5 just five times. In only one of those seasons did the Cowboys eventually win the NFC East. Which one? Read Full Story

Today’s news: Jason Garrett thinks he made the right moves at the end of yesterday’s loss to the Cardinals. Super. That’s about all I want to write today.
