3 things the Cowboys must fix to win again – Number 3 has fans nodding in agreement

After a string of disappointing performances, the Dallas Cowboys must take a hard look at themselves if they want to get back on the playoff track. Here are the three biggest issues that need fixing — and the third one has fans saying, “Exactly!”

1. Improve pass protection for Dak Prescott

Dak Prescott has been under constant pressure from opposing defenses in recent weeks. The Cowboys’ offensive line has struggled with consistency, especially during key third-down situations.
If the Cowboys can’t give Dak enough time to make plays, the entire offensive system collapses.

“Dak can’t do everything by himself. The O-line needs to protect him like they’re protecting the soul of this team,” said a former Cowboys player.

2. Cut down on penalties and poor play-calling

One major reason the Cowboys keep losing momentum is self-inflicted mistakes. From false starts and holding penalties to rushed play-calls late in the game, these mental lapses are killing drives and confidence.
Head coach Mike McCarthy must demand greater discipline and sharper execution from his players.

“When you beat yourself with penalties, no opponent needs to.”

3. Rediscover the true Cowboys spirit

This is the one fans agree with the most. The Cowboys don’t lack talent — they lack fire. Lately, the team has seemed flat, disconnected, and emotionless, far from the identity that once defined “America’s Team.”

Dak Prescott needs to reignite that passion, Micah Parsons must reassert his leadership, and the whole roster must play with heart again.

“When the Cowboys play with belief and emotion, they can beat anyone.”

Conclusion

To reclaim their dominance, the Cowboys don’t need miracles — just discipline, focus, and heart. The Bye Week is the perfect time to reset, fix what’s broken, and come back stronger than ever.

Jerry Jones Speaks Out, Criticizes the Controversy Surrounding the Cowboys WR After the Loss to the Lions
DALLAS — Jerry Jones has finally had enough. In a fiery radio interview on 105.3 The Fan Tuesday morning, the Cowboys owner publicly ripped into star wide receiver George Pickens for his explosive, now-deleted Instagram beef with Richard Sherman following the Thanksgiving nightmare against the Detroit Lions. “I love everything George has done this year,” Jones said. “But let me be very clear — I don’t want to see him sitting on Instagram arguing with Richard Sherman or anybody else. Put the phone down, stop the social media nonsense, and focus on playing football. That’s what we pay him for.” Mic drop. The 82-year-old owner rarely calls out his own players by name in public, making this one of the sharpest rebukes in recent Cowboys history. Quick recap of the chaos: Lions game: CeeDee Lamb gets hurt and leaves early → Pickens disappears with a miserable 5 catches for 37 yards. Richard Sherman goes on TV and says Pickens “quit on routes” and showed zero effort. Pickens claps back with a savage (and quickly deleted) Instagram story: “Old man still talking.” Internet explodes. Despite the ugly performance, Pickens still leads the Cowboys in every major receiving stat (78 receptions, 1,179 yards, 8 TDs), but Jerry Jones just drew a line in the sand: the social media wars end today. “I have zero concern about George competing and helping us win games on the field,” Jones continued. “My only concern is him wasting time and energy on this Instagram back-and-forth instead of turning the page.” Will this public dressing-down light a fire under Pickens… or pour gasoline on an already raging controversy? One thing is certain — every snap this Sunday will be scrutinized like never before. Is Jerry Jones right to go nuclear on his star WR? Or did he just make the drama ten times worse?
