The Landry Hat Podcast

The divisional round of the 2013-2014 NFL playoffs are officially in the books...and you couldn't ask for a better outcome. The AFC will give us one more chapter of one of the greatest rivalries in football; Brady vs Manning. On the NFC, that'll include the most recent and fiercest rivalry in the NFL today; 49ers and Seahawks. My guests Steven Edwards and Ollie Connolly from UKFirstTake and I will break down the playoffs and the match-ups ahead. Including who to expect in Superbowl XLVIII!

Same old song. Same old dance. The Dallas Cowboys for the third consecutive year will watch the playoffs from their couch as they lose to the Philadelphia Eagles in another win-and-you're-in game 24-22.

After a dismal loss against the Packers last week, the Cowboys were staring at another heartbreaking loss in the face....one that would all but end their playoff chances. Led by Kirk Cousins at QB, the Redskins had a 23-14 lead with less than eight minutes to play in the game. After the Cowboys cut the deficit to 23-17, the much maligned Cowboys defense makes the biggest stop of the year. Then a drive led by Tony Romo and DeMarco Murray, the Cowboys marched down the field. On 4th and goal after Murray lost six yards on a 3rd and goal run attempt, Romo came through in crunch time with a TD pass to Murray. Cowboys 24, Redskins 23. The Cowboys are 8-7 and need just one more win to win the NFC East. Bring. On. The. Eagles.

Simply at loss for words. The Cowboys had a 26-3 lead going into the second half....and Green Bay made the adjustments to get themselves out of that hole to win the game 37-36. It ties the largest Packers comeback in franchise history. And it is the 2nd biggest collapse in Cowboys history. Now, the Cowboys have to....HAVE TO beat the Redskins in Washington next week. If they don't, the season is over. If they do, it'll set up the Eagles@Cowboys matchup for the division.

After being demolished by the Bears in Chicago, the Cowboys have a shorter week as they get ready to face the Green Bay Packers at home on Sunday afternoon. Will Aaron Rodgers play? Or Matt Flynn? Does it matter? If a 34 year old Josh McCown can do what he did to this defense that's terrible on a historic level, I have no doubt in my mind that Matt Flynn could rip them to shreds...let alone Discount Daable Check.  We preview the match up.

The Cowboys simply got killed in Chicago by the score of 45-28. Defense continuing down a historically bad path, the offense loses rhythm in two drives, and that equals a recipe for disastor. The Cowboys are 7-6, a game behind the Eagles in the NFC East and need to win out. Plain and simple.

The Dallas Cowboys are in the driver's seat in the NFC East. Another year, another successful November. Now comes the time where you show what you're made of; December. And they start off their December in Chicago to take on the Bears. With projected weather conditions consisting of 22 degrees, 20 MPH winds and light rain, the Cowboys will play in the worst conditions they've played in all year. My guest Mark Lane and I break down the matchup!

For the first quarter and a half, the Cowboys team struggled; offense had zero rhythm and the defense was being dominated by an inferior Raiders offense. After falling 21-7 in the 2nd quarter, the Cowboys' offense found a spark after they scored a touchdown with 0:11 left on the clock in the 1st half to shorten the deficit to 21-14.  When the 2nd half started, it was all Cowboys; Cowboys' defense  allowed only 50 yards rushing to the 4th highest rushing team in the league, offense generated 300 yards of offense in 2nd half, and the Cowboys never trailed again. The Cowboys are 7-5 and lead the NFC East. Next they play the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field on December 9th.

After a muched needed and hard fought win against the Giants in New York, the Cowboys have a short week to get ready for their annual Thanksgiving game at home. This year, the Raiders are in town to spoil the Cowboys' Thanksgiving. Landry Hat staff writer and host of the EA Sports Show, Eshan Azad is my guest and we break down the game!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

The offense and defense had an up and down day. But after the Giants tied the game with four minutes left in the game, the offense showed up for a masterful last minute drive to set up a Dan Bailey game winning field goal with time expiring. Cowboys WIN 24-21. Tommy Smith from the Rattle and Hum Sports Podcast and I break down the win.
