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.
