I have GamePass. It's a must for NFL fans.

Who in your opinion was the strongest opponent that Dallas beat last year and how do you view their schedule as a whole?

Every Sunday NFL network does red zone replay.

Yea it's usually the only channel I ever have on but I've never been a big red zone guy. Lots of context missing for what is actually going on, but great for fantasy football. Fantasy is great, but takes a backseat for me.

Best win was Green Bay in lam. At that point I knew it was for real. Second best Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh in a back and forth game. Dak and zeke matched and better a veteran steeler team score for score.

This season schedule appears tough but there are big swings in win totals for a lot of teams season to season. With dallas recently I view every game as 50/50. I assume all will be one score games

The Packers in Lambeau
The Steelers in Heinz

At home it was Cincinnati and Washington

I guess you forget they swept the AFC North and NFC Central (Regular Season). It's not NCAA so it doesn't matter about fictional SOS arguments

Dallas fan. Usually they play later. Most noon games I don't care too much. Just looking for action. Poor chris Hanson doesn't even piss for 7 hours

The key to Dallas is not a player it's a coach. If Linnehan stays to run game it's over. If he calls it like he did with Romo then they aren't as successful. Linnehan does a great job calling a game backwards once they get a score.

Will it still be called this? I have not been a td member for long and sark is in NFL now.

I can't wait for the first Thursday night of college football. Those threads are my favorite on this website

Success fully hinges on the trial by fire the 4 new DBs are going to go through IMO. There will be games where the other team will be able to expose that and try to minimize Zeke. Marinelli deserves a medal for what he has done managing the mediocre talent level of the defense but they are at their best when they can build a lead and keep the offense on the field. I just don't see it happening nearly as much and the schedule dig from last year honestly shocked me. I didn't know the Lions, Steelers, and Packers were struggling that bad at those points.

I didn't pick just the Cowboys to scrutinize, though I did post only them here knowing it would elicit the most discussion.

Yep. That is an obvious concern. But you failed to mention our lack of pass rush contributing.



Hopefully jaylon smith can get some action.

Smith and Charlton are not what I'm concerned about it's the LB

The Clowns are just cursed, so I expect annual ignorance. The LB play has to be great.

This is not an impressive list by any means.

And SOS arguments are totally valid.

The Saints for instance played Atlanta twice, Giants, Raiders, Chiefs, Broncos, Seahawks, Cardinals. You can't possibly tell me you believe that the Cowboy's schedule was anywhere near that grueling.

Not a Jazz or Butler fan. Just like Hayward's haircut and go out of my way to root for any decent white guy in the NBA because I know that must be tough.

Strength of Schedule is a totally blown out of proportion and fictional metric

In the NFL it really doesn't matter as all teams play 8 home and away.

An average Broncos squad and a crappy Cardinals team

Calm down dude. I don't like the Cowboys either but that team they had last year was fun.
