Today’s post looks at 2006-2010, which was a time of both promise and frustration for Cowboys’ fans.

NOTE: much of the information I use in these posts comes from Pro Football Reference, which is an invaluable resource, so a shout out to those who run that site. We could all still learn some things we didn’t know, remind ourselves of interesting things forgotten and relive things we’ll never forget. In short, the Dallas Cowboys have been a great NFL franchise and their history is worth celebrating.
As we all know the Dallas Cowboys have a long and storied history. For the unfamiliar, I’m looking at Cowboys’ history in five-year increments.

But even if you were 5-1, the next game is the most important game.Today we return to a series I began last year. "No, they trapped us awhile back this year," Phillips said.
For the Cowboys, at this point, calling Sunday's game against the Jaguars a trap game doesn't really work. "When he drops back to pass, going through his reads, we got to give it to him, not allow him to get a rhythm going and not be the team that allowed Dallas to start winning," Jaguars defensive tackle Terrance Knighton said.Ī trap game implies that the team being trapped didn't see a loss coming. Given all the Cowboys' weapons, including receiver Miles Austin and tight end Jason Witten, the Jaguars aren't banking on too much of an edge. "He's actually been successful as a quarterback in this league and that's why we got him." "Jon Kitna still has a real live arm," Phillips said. The difference is that Kitna has started 115 games during his 14-year career. Romo's injury has left the Cowboys in a similar position to the one the Jaguars were in last week - turning to a 38-year-old backup. He left with a passer rating of 94.9 and might miss the rest of the season. Romo broke his left collarbone after racking up 1,605 yards in a little more than six games. Since then, the Cowboys have lost three games in a row, to Tennessee, Minnesota and the Giants. Week three seemed to start a turnaround for Dallas with a win at Houston just before the team's bye week. They followed with a loss in their home opener to Chicago. They started the season with a 13-7 loss to the Washington Redskins. "And we actually have some individuals that are playing well but just as a team we just hadn't hit the right stride yet, so we're looking for that and we're still trying to get there." "We do have some talented players," Cowboys coach Wade Phillips said. With Kitna starting at quarterback, the Cowboys will host the Jaguars on Sunday, hoping to turn their season around.
This is despite having statistically one of the best offenses in the NFL and one of the best defenses, too. They don't play like a team that's 1-5, and they don't have the talent of one either.Īfter six games into their season, the team some analysts picked to play in the Super Bowl are just that. There's a bizarre discrepancy in the talent on the Dallas Cowboys' roster and their record. The Cowboys lost that game 41-35 to the New York Giants, falling to 1-5. "You have to perform, you got to get in there and do what you can to give your team the best chance to win and that's what you try to do." "It's not what you're looking for, but there's no time to feel sorry for yourself or feel sorry for Tony, you just got to go," Kitna said. Kitna just had to play and try to do what even Romo couldn't - pull the Cowboys out of a season-long funk. There was no time for Dallas Cowboys backup quarterback Jon Kitna to think too much when Tony Romo turned around, the left side of his inert upper body lying against the field.
