2022 Cowboys will have easiest schedule to be 1 seed

[mcc2121]

Let's state the obvious: barring injuries, if the Cowboys don't win a minimum of 12 games next season, it will be a disaster. It's not unreasonable to think they could win 15. Why? They have hit the trifecta of playing against the three worst divisions in the NFL next season (NFC-East x2, NFC-Central and AFC South). On top of that, two of their most challenging opponents (TB and GB) are facing rebuilds because of giant changes at QB (it's 50/50 Rodgers returns to GB) and cap issues. And their 17th game, albeit against the Bengals, will be at home this time.

After surveying the evolving landscape of the NFC next season, the teams competing against the Cowboys for the top seed will be precious few: LA Rams and maybe Arizona. The 49ers will most likely be moving on to Trey Lance, essentially a rookie. GB would start Jordan Love. TB will start ??? And I really don't see any up and coming teams to replace them.

Sure, say I'm looking at this through homer-tinted glasses, but look at the schedule and tell me where I'm wrong. (The AFC, however, will be a beast next year!!!)

Home: Eagles, Giants, Washington, Bears, Lions, Bucs, Colts, Texans, Bengals

Away: Eagles, Giants, Washington, Packers, Vikings, Rams, Jaguars, Titans

And, just like always, we will find a way to mess it up.

 

[ClappingCarrot]

We have issues of our own bro.

We are looking at a possible OL rebuild, our team is completely over spent at the moment, we have a regressing QB and an offensive coaching staff that can't figure out two high safeties.

Not to mention the 20+ free agents we have looming.

Cowboys have a lot of mud to get through before we can even start guaranteeing wins on the schedule before the current season even ends.

 

[cowboyec]

11 or 12 wins and should win the division...barring any major injuries.
the real test will...as always...be how they respond in the post-season.

 

[Zordon]

Don’t do this to yourself.

Who had this advantage this year?

 

[Risen Star]

If any coach can win the NFC East back to back it's Mike McCarthy.

 

[roy31]

Like the #1 seed will make a difference.

 

[jwooten15]

15 wins in the regular season, and still won’t win a playoff game. Wake me up when games matter

 

[Cowpolk]

17 and 3 is my prediction

 

[mcc2121]

11 or 12 wins and should win the division...barring any major injuries.

Oh, I fully expect them to choke in the playoffs. But they've been handed a gift of a path to get there.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

With Brady retiring, our home schedule looks easy. If we can go 4-4 on the road, 11 or 12 wins can happen.

 

[KJJ]

The easier the schedule the better the chance the Cowboys will go one and done again if they make the playoffs. Regardless the schedule the Cowboys will be lucky to win 9 or 10 games next season. McCarthy isn’t the answer and the roster won’t be as good next season.

 

[fivetwos]

We should have been taking advantage of a weak division to gain higher seeds for a while now.

Yeah....we will beat the teams we are supposed to beat and lose the games we are supposed to lose.

That's what we do.

 

[Bowdown27]

So we’ll be the one seed. Get the bye and lose in the divisional round like usual

 

[TequilaCowboy]

LOL, like anything is easy with this team....just when you think they got it.., they self destruct or get destructed,

Overconfidence by the players and coaches will kill next season. Jmo.

 

[CouchCoach]

It is too early to make any projections as we don't even know what all of these team rosters are going to look like.

The Cowboys strongest competition might come from within the division like the West had this season.
