Cowboys at Philly Sept 4 opener rumored

[tomokawan]

Rams or Lions at Philly to open the season. No way they plug in a garbage team against the Eagles to open the season.

Calling your so called team garbage is a problem.

Yeah, only thing these former first round busts need is to be coached up by Schotty!

I don’t know why you call them first round bus. They’re just free agents. That the team no longer can afford. They’ll make excellent coaches and plug-in players for depth.

Another positive for you is Fangio’s system is really hard. We were bad on defense for the first month of 2024 as everyone was learning the system for the first time.

And now we’ll have 2 new starting DE’s, a rookie OLB, potentially a rookie Longhorn FS, a new #2 CB and 2 new rotational Dlinemen. Bit of a defensive overhaul. Might not be pretty right away

We're counting on that!!

If not for all the injuries, we probably would’ve taken and beaten the Eagles twice last year.

So the positives.
Get a cold weather game out of the way, and the anticipation of a late season game at Philly out of the way.
Everyone or most anyway has us losing game 1 no matter what or who we play. So they will not be disappointed if we lose this game. As they are with every loss they predict.
Get a road game out of the way also.
Dallas has the element of surprise. Philly really will not know what is coming at them. We have the element of surprise.

So the negatives.
Fans feel Philly will be more prepared than Dallas for this game, and rightfully so. As Dallas will be playing in their new offense for the1st time. As we know they will not get any real reps in PS games. A lot to get in sync. Philly will already have that.

Otherwise really no negatives. It will be a learning curve game, and a loss this early may mean nothing. However the naysayers will be thumping their chest otherwise with I told you so posts an threads.
A win, would be great, but the naysayers will say, well it is early in the season, they will still have a losing season.

You have to us the term "FANS" very loosely here. LOL

Calling your so called team garbage is a problem.

well, Cooper Russian company did look pretty bad last year. But that’s not the same squad. We’re putting on the field this year.

 

[KingCorcoran]

Totally different team,

Same QB, same WRs, same OTs, same TE…not that different on offense, anyway.

Kind of the same thing for Philly, tough. We both had coaches that were promoted within the org (our HC their OC, both of whom are calling plays .

How come?

 

[KingCorcoran]

They won most of their games late in the fourth quarter, well that’s the NFL anyways. They wore the other team down and then Barkley had a day.

Cowboys lost to the Eagles 41-7 late last season. Kenny Pickett was the starting QB. Tanner McKee got some garbage time in the blowout.

it was closer than the score indicated, no?

 

[ScipioCowboy]

Wouldn’t Washington be a better choice? It would be an NFC Title rematch.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

It was not.

 

[J-man]

Ok, should be a good test for both squads.
I actually think the NFL should have the teams play their division opponents the first and last 3 games every year.

Are you predicting a Cowboys win?

Not yet. Will need to see how TC goes, injuries and such.
