Where does this schedule scare you?

As long as the defense can figure it out to the tune of at LEAST top 15 respectability...

Our defense ranked 11th last season. The ranking is misleading because it’s based on total yards. If our defense is going to improve our pass rush needs to get better and we need to get more takeaways. We need to make more stops in critical situations. We lost our best pass rusher from last season and that’s a concern. Hopefully the addition of McCoy and the rookie Gallimore will help push the pocket and create more opportunities to get to the QB. Pressuring the QB is the best way to get takeaways.

Good teams have easy schedules, bad teams have hard schedules. The schedule doesn't scare me. I'm only concerned whether the Cowboys are a good or bad team.

It's not really WHO you play as much as WHEN you play them.

Tell you what....they ALL scare me if Cooper Rush is the starting QB.

Lots of assumptions looking at things on paper.

There’s so much parity in the NFL. And teams often go from non playoff teams to making deep runs in one years time. I’m not worried about our opponents and none scare me but let’s hope we’re better prepared and in game decisions are better. Combine that with some good fortune injury wise and a few lucky bounces and perhaps we’ll be watching the Cowboys play come February.

I have a question. We were fine on the road in 2016 2017 2018. We weren’t that good on the road last year unfortunately. Why do people act like last year is the end all and shows how we are gonna be, but ignore the fact that it seemed to be an anomaly based off recent years?

Why do you frame the question as where one would be "scared?" I don't understand this logic.

Ravens, that’s about it actually. Now of course we will lose some that we should win but is 10-6 or 11-5 seem out of reach? I don’t think so...

Yeah if I factor that in...none of these teams "scare me" but I see a few games that are going to be tough. I think the NFC East is going to be much better this year. Sweeping them will be tougher than in years past.

Rams, Vikings, Seahawks, Falcons, 9ers and Cardinal are going to be tough games.

If the Cowboys aren't on their A game they can very well end up 8-8 again make no mistake. We are going to need McCarthy to have this team prepared and not start games off slow.
Probably the most down to earth statement I have heard about this team since we hired McCarthy.

Usually it is close to the end of the schedule for some strange reason.

No one on the schedule we can't beat, but who is going to be the Jets? Which and how may games are we going to give away?

What's it going to be then, eh?

The schedule does not bother me until I know if there will be people in the stands.
