Week 1: Cowboys at Giants SNF

[Aerolithe_Lion]

Eagles @ Cowboys Thanksgiving

And let me guess @ Wash to end the season too

Man, it seems like we play that Giants team every year, sometimes a couple times. What the heck is the NFL doing?

Padding Dak’s wins stats.

 

[jazzcat22]

Bigger problem is we have never made the nfc champ game when we have opened vs the giants in the last 30 years

Nor with any other team we opened with.

 

[jazzcat22]

Is there a sold Economic reason for Jerry to rent out ATT stadium the first week of the season?

Probably the only dates the bands could do. Not Jerry dictating it.

 

[ratkinson]

Told you so! When we were asked earlier who we thought our first opponent will be, I said @ Giants.

Cool, what's the shipping date for your participation trophy?

 

[CowboysFanLover]

I am sick of playing the Giants in the season opener

 

[Amarth]

I don't get the fascination with the league making us start out in NY for Sunday night games over the last 20 years. Why? I wonder why we rarely start out playing games at home and against a different opponent other than the damn Giants all the time.

I don’t get it, what’s your problem? The fact that it’s a Sunday night game in NY or that over the last 20 years the Cowboys have opened at home vs the Giants twice as many times as the Giants have opened at home vs the Cowboys?

 

[Kwyn]

Harbaugh will have them ready.

I never take a win for granted but even if I was that type of fan, this wouldn’t be a game where I would do it

Is there a sold Economic reason for Jerry to rent out ATT stadium the first week of the season?

Ya, money. He’s still going to get the same amount of home games regardless.

 

[Amarth]

Maybe they want to pit Reese vs. Downs draft picks as the banner game week 1.

Could have been against Washington for a change, Styles vs Downs.

 

[Amarth]

We played better on the road the last couple of seasons, I believe

We beat their ***** 40-0 last time we opened against them in NY IIRC.

 

[Amarth]

The only positive, Giants might get better later in this season get one out of the way when they’re at their worst

They definitely have more “obstacles” to overcome then we do, from the coaching staff down to the players.

 

[acr731]

This is great because we never start the season against the Giants.

Why is a team that hasn't won anything in 30 years still getting prime time games?

 

[Amarth]

I dont know why the NFL always thinks the Giants- Cowboys is a marquee opening game matchup........its been one sided towards the Cowboys the past 10-12 years.

Let the Cowboys open against an AFC team one time at least geeeez..........

The last 40-0 beatdown of the Giants as a season opener at Metlife wasn’t entertaining enough for America, we need to end it by the first quarter.

Why is a team that hasn't won anything in 30 years still getting prime time games?

To piss you off.

 

[DarkVader33]

Why is a team that hasn't won anything in 30 years still getting prime time games?

Because you and many others keep watching. Lol

 

[Amarth]

Why is a team that hasn't won anything in 30 years still getting prime time games?

It is nuts and it happens every year. It wasn’t too long ago that the Cowboys had the most prime time games, you would think it would have been a recent Super Bowl winner or playoff team from the year before. Apparently Goodell and America love mediocrity.

 

[Relayer]

Nobody's ever seen anything like it before either!

It'll be tremendous. Everybody says so.

 

[jazzcat22]

Could have been against Washington for a change, Styles vs Downs.

Yes I thought of that as well. But they want the fans to complain so kept it the NYG
