Second thread I’ve seen with a fan accusing the NFL of screwing the Cowboys on the schedule. This is the first time I can remember fans claiming the league Intentionally screwed the Cowboys with the schedule. The league is finding all kinds of ways to foil the Cowboys. Lol

Good story on "The Fan" this morning (not about screwing the Cowboys) BUT there were 8 teams who vetoed King Rogers New Thursday flex rule, 6 of those teams recieved the 2 short week travel games that are allowed for him to give so out of the 6 available all were teams that vetoed his bill..lol

No you don't. There have been SB winners that didn't win the division.

OK now your splitting Hairs. That's not the point of my post anyway. My point is for steady progression. 6-10 to playoffs, To playoff win, I'm looking forward with optimism that my team will take the next step.

That's all Bro. Have a Blessed One

Every team benefits from a bye week regardless of what point in the season it occurs. Of course, contenders like the Cowboys would benefit the most from a late-season bye to refresh and reload before the stretch run. Unfortunately, the NFL pinned Dallas with one of the earliest rest weeks possible in Week 7.

To make matters worse, the Eagles have their bye in Week 10, the Giants wait until Week 13, while the Commanders are a Week 14 bye. All of those sound better than Week 7.

2. Difficult road schedule​

While the NFL gave the Cowboys six primetime games, it didn't have the team's best interest at heart when it formulated Dallas' road schedule.

Try wrapping your mind around this, Cowboys Nation: America's Team will play the 49ers, Dolphins, Bills and Chargers all on the road. Of the five non-NFC East teams on the schedule that made the playoffs last season, only one is at home -- the Seahawks in Week 13.

1. Gauntlet from Weeks 12-16​

Dallas will play the Seahawks (home), Eagles (home), Bills (road), Dolphins (road), and Lions (home) from Weeks 13-17. The fact Seattle is the easiest matchup in that gauntlet speaks to how difficult it is.

When the sun sets on the 2023 regular season, would anyone be surprised if all five of those teams were in the playoffs? The Eagles and Bills are shoo-ins, and the Dolphins have at least a 10-win roster -- assuming Tua Tagovailoa's health -- after a representative offseason.

Doesn't matter. Win at home and win in your division. That is 11 wins that wins you the NFC East 10% of the time, and will make the playoffs 100% of the time. This is not rocket science.
