The Cowboys Just Got the Break They Desperately Needed
Episode notes
The Dallas Cowboys are 1-2 — but after what just happened to the Eagles, does Houston really feel like a must-win anymore?
The NFC East suddenly looks wide open, and the Cowboys’ upcoming schedule might give them exactly what they need: TIME.
Could eight wins actually put you in the NFC East race? Could Dallas simply hang around .500, get healthy, add a difference-maker or two and still be dangerous when it matters?
On this Week 4 Opening Script, Gavin Dawson breaks down why the landscape may have changed dramatically for the Cowboys.
We’ll get into the Eagles’ ugly start and why their 2-1 record might be misleading, the latest Joey Porter Jr. trade reports and what Dallas should be willing to give up, the Cowboys’ growing injury problems, and some potentially huge injury news coming out of Houston.
Plus, Brian Schottenheimer publicly took responsibility for what went wrong in the final seconds against Baltimore. Was his response enough to make you believe he can lead this team through the first major adversity of his tenure?
And finally, we take our first look at Cowboys-Texans. Houston is 0-3, but is that record hiding a defense that can still cause Dallas major problems?
The Cowboys don't need to fix everything overnight. They need to survive, get healthy and stay close enough to make their move.
The NFC East might just be giving them that opportunity.
