Anybody becoming impatient with our easy schedule games?

The Patriots get at least 6 cupcake games every year. It seems to work out
just fine for them. (They usually go 5-1)

The only games you can play are those that are on the schedule.

I love the heart attack games. They let you know you're alive

Every game is a heart attack game

I remember being up 40-3 against SF and then SF scored a touchdown i was like ohhhh crap yall bout to let em comeback

I'm feeling like I did in 2007: I've become suddenly so confident (over-confident) in the Cowboys that I am losing patience with cupcake games like the Dolphins and just want those to be over with already. I just want to skip them over, have them go as W's into the win-loss column already, and mentally just fast-forward to the goodies like the Packers, Eagles, Patriots, Saints and Rams games.

Mentally don't even care about Dolphins, Jets and Commanders.


Anyone else feeling this way?


(At the same time, I am well aware that even cupcake games can be nail-biters, like how Dallas only barely pulled out that 25-24 Monday Night thriller in Buffalo in 2007.)
no

yes. these games don't mean much at all. we won't know if we're a good(or how good) team for awhile. giants, skins, and phins are probably the 3 worst teams in the league. reminds me of watching college football. horribly boring until you play the maybe 2 good teams a year. if we win, we were supposed to. if we lose....all hell breaks lose. not my type of game.

New England has been playing the softest schedule the past 15 years which has helped them clinched the #1 seed pretty much every year.

While the Commanders had no defense, this is the first year they've had a solid qb and the offense wasn't bad. I don't think it was an easy game.

I understand the original post. However, division games always have a tough component to them.
Also, these early games that should build a cushion provide a chance to open up an early lead on the Eagles while also moving towards home field advantage and a bye in the playoffs. (Potentially)

Can only play who the NFL schedules Dallas to play every week. I take every win as grateful.

Every loss as another 5th of whiskey gone. lol

No I like these games because it's the best game situation practice the Cowboys can get which helps them get things down so when the do play the harder teams they're ready.

If we weren't playing good football these games wouldn't be considered "easy". Enjoy the fact the Cowboys are taking advantage of the situation instead of playing down to the level of their competition. The team doesn't need a "test" as a measuring stick to be ready for the playoffs. They simply need to play well in the playoffs as their measuring stick. Remember beating GB in the regular season in 2016? Didn't help too much come the playoffs.

uh, no. We need this "pre-season" to get ready for real football that will come later in the year.

Gallup and Woods out stings so much. Thankfully this is the deepest we've been at WR in forever and we still have 0 hard games till A-Rod so we should be fine.

No. Just continue to rack up the wins.

It’s like beating someone at pool and then saying “rack ‘em loser”.

The only thing that sucks playing bad teams is the lack of credit we'll get from the media..

Another week of Shannon Sharpe talking nonsense. I cant wait to play the eagles.
