In all seriousness, we have been closely monitoring the Packers this season as the Dallas Cowboys hold their first-round pick this year as a result of the Micah Parsons trade. A reminder that Dallas also owns Green Bay's first-rounder in 2027, but the Cowboys sent the better of their first-round picks in 2027 (as in whichever pick is earlier) to the New York Jets in the Quinnen Williams deal. Lots of moving parts here.

Gannon went 15-36 in three seasons and ended this year with a nine-game losing streak. It would've been a 14-game losing streak if not for the Cowboys losing to them in Dallas. As bad as Gannon's head coaching run was - this season set a franchise record for losses - he ran the Eagles defense before getting the top job out in the desert.

Dan Quinn left following the 2023 season to become the head coach of the Washington Commanders and then the Cowboys hired Mike Zimmer to round out Mike McCarthy's staff in the final year of his deal. When the team changed head coaches to Brian Schottenheimer they needed a new coordinator and Matt Eberflus was hired before being dismissed after a season's worth of work.

Blue saw action in all four games Dallas played in October. In the months of September, November, and December he was inactive. No real reason was given for his inactivity other than he "had to get better" in practice. In his four-game stint in October, Blue had 22 carries for 65 yards and one catch for five yards and hadn't score a touchdown.

The Dallas Cowboys held a press conference to close the 2025 season on Wednesday, something that we hope we never have to speak of again. The future is all anyone cares about right now and there is a lot of work to be done in that regard. We all know that the Cowboys are not a team who believes a ton in free agency, obviously that is always subject to change, but there are a lot of spots on the roster that are going to need to work and improvement.

So let me rephrase: Offense is the name of the game in the NFL as long as you have a somewhat competent defense. Dallas led the league in most offensive stats, but unfortunately, were near the bottom of the league in nearly every defensive stat. It was a defensive failure of epic proportions, but it did not stop the Cowboys from putting together one of the most prolific offensive performances in the NFL.

The Dallas Cowboys 2025 season is officially over. After dropping their Week 18 game to the New York Giants 34-17, the Cowboys head into the offseason with a lot of work to be done. While the offense was as good as we have seen it in recent years, the Dallas defense gave up more than 500 points in the 2025 season and ranked near the bottom of the league in every advanced metric tracked by RBSDM.com.

The Cowboys' season never seemed to get off of the launch pad. It took the team 13 weeks to finally get over.500 for the first time. The three-game win streak, capped by a Thanksgiving Day win over Kansas City, put Dallas at 6-5-1 and gave the franchise hope for the playoffs. The three-game losing streak that followed ended the playoff hopes. Sunday's loss to the Giants sealed the Cowboys' fate of suffering a second-straight losing year.

Securing good health for an older fella who's had some injury issues in recent seasons seemed like it would take precedence over finishing out the season. Plus, wouldn't they want to get a better look at their young backup, Joe Milton III? There was some buzz that they wanted Prescott to finish as the league's leader in passing yardage, who entered the week with a 34-yard advantage over Matthew Stafford.

The season is over for the Dallas Cowboys which means that they are fully in offseason mode. Much will be said by the team's leadership about how they want to avoid a season like 2025 (and 2024 for that matter) moving forward which means that there is work to be done. One of the first points of work for the Cowboys will be tending to their set-to-be free agents.

This time tomorrow, the Dallas Cowboys will be gearing up for their final game of the 2025 season; at best, it will be their first .500 season since the 2019 campaign - at its worst, 7-9-1. That would be the first losing season Dak Prescott has had in a year when he was fully healthy. Based on that, and what we've seen on screen since September, it is clear that changes must be made in Dallas this offseason.

Currently, the 7-8-1 Cowboys would be 14th in the draft order. Their other first-round pick from Green Bay won't be decided until we see how the Packers fare in the playoffs, but we know it won't be any better than 19th. This weekend really doesn't matter on that front, but it could have a tremendous impact on Dallas' original pick.

Other than determining where the Dallas Cowboys will be ultimately slotted in the 2026 NFL Draft, this Week 18 matchup with the New York Giants is a meaningless game anyway you choose to try to break it down. And no matter how much Brian Schottenheimer and several of the Cowboys starters say they want to go out and win this game, it may be more beneficial as far as the future is concerned to sit several of their key starters.
