These next set of games are going to do a number to my blood pressure.

QB Tony Romo has played 4 "Win or Go Home" games since 2008 (includes 2 playoff gms) -- in 3 of them, his QBR was less than 20"

In this age of parity, why not make the schedule totally even, 16 teams play at home one week and away the next. That is the most fair thing to do. It is totally unfair to make a team play their 4 of their 5 hardest games of the year on the road, early in the season. It could absolutely kill any shot of making a playoff run late in the year.

Someone posted that the Cowboys lose like 85% of their back to back away games.

It wouldn't surprise me if Mara and Goodell are behind this.

When in doubt, blame a conspiracy by Dr. Evil? I'd like to think you're not being serious but I've been on the internet long enough to think you actually believe it.

The Cowboys aren't the only team to have back to back away games, and lose more than they win, and it's all about satisfying TV contracts on a week to week basis. Been that way for years.

The alternative? Pay per view games each Sunday. It's all about the Benjamins.

I believe the Panthers might be the weakest of the five but it's no guarantee we'll beat them. I'd like to share your optimism but I haven't seen anything this season to believe the Cowboys will be 7-2, or even 6-3, after nine games.

We'll be lucky to be 5-4, at best, barring dramatic improvement over the bye.

Don't believe the conspiracy, but I do think the schedule should be even.

I see the Panther game as probably our only win.
As the official head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, Jason Garrett is 16-16............"Its a Process of stacking good days"


2013 Prediction: "NO PLAYOFFS"

I agree the Panthers are the toughest team in the following stretch.

The only game the Cowboys will win is the home game against the Giants. Got to win those division games.
We will lose 3 of the 4? Remember your words.....

Not sure if you're serious or not, but I like your enthusiam. I do think the Panthers game will be tougher than people think, by by far the hardest game.

Are you a Panthers fan by the way?

Baltimore would be the hardest, but with a division game against Eagles at their house will be the hardest, as it is also the 4th road game in 5 weeks.
Cowboys will be a very road tired team by that time. Giants will not be a cake walk at home either.
Falcons....tough game, but they need to stop Julio Jones, unlike Ryan's sucky defense against Brando Marshall.

We will have a bye week. The old panthers are terrible off a bye week but this week after beating atlanta down and losing to luck moon ball by ryan we just couldnt recover to beat seattle. Now everyone is trashing Cam and I am glad because he will have two weeks to stew on this crap and have one of the best games of his career. Our Dline sacked Ryan 7 times and we will bring pressure on your oline. You guys just happen to be the team that is going to play us at the worst time. We will be 100% healthy and filthy not to mention the Ravens are going to bang you guys up.

You guys remind me of us. You have talent every single year and seem to play crappy. it sucks but hopefully we both turn it around.

And to the guy in this thread that called Cam a mediocre QB? you havent seen him play or you wouldnt say that. He is a pocket passer, every moron that doesnt watch us play thinks he likes to run. His problem this year is going for the homerun ball and ignoring the checkdowns and screens. when he has thrown the check down we have had some crappy drops. This is such an easy fix. Just make the check down and screens the primary read more often. sorry but I predict a double digit loss for you guys
