An 18 game schedule would suck.

When you get dealt out a schedule like this it makes me wish we had less games lol.

 

[Hostile]

I am sooo tired of playing Carolina.

Why? We are 7-1 against them all time and have a 7 game winning streak against them, our current longest against any team.

[Hostile]

We have two games vs. AFC opponents, I notice that CBS is televising both of them. I kind of figured they would.

 

[bobtheflob]

Lame, I don't like that we're playing in DC on 12/27. I was planning on going to the game this year, but I'll probably be visiting family in Dallas then.

 

[cowboyjoe]

So it looks like I will be in DC for Christmas if HogsRLegends pays up.

so Hostile you got a bet with HogsRLegends again?

 

[Rampage]

damn Philly at the end of the year:bang2: we're gonna find out what this team is made of that's for sure.

NEW YORK - The Dallas Cowboys will open their new $1.1 billion stadium in a nationally televised Sunday night game on NBC against the New York Giants on Sept. 20.
The NFL released its complete 2009 regular-season schedule Tuesday. The always-popular Cowboys lead all teams with six scheduled nationally televised games, even without Terrell Owens.
Reigning Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh meets division rival Baltimore twice in five weeks late in the season after they faced off in the AFC title game. They play Nov. 29 and Dec. 27.
On Oct. 11, the Patriots take on Denver and former offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, now the Broncos’ coach. New England renews its rivalry with the Colts on Nov. 15.
The NFL had already announced the opening weekend’s prime-time games. The Steelers begin their title defense Thursday, Sept. 10 against the Titans, who had the league’s best record in 2008 and beat the Steelers 31-14 in the 15th game of the season.
The first Monday night game features the Patriots — in what they hope is Tom Brady’s return — against the Bills, in Owens’ debut.
The Bears, with new quarterback Jay Cutler, are among the teams with five nationally televised games.
It was McDaniels’ pursuit of then-Patriots quarterback Matt Cassel that led to Cutler’s fallout with the Broncos. McDaniels will face Cassel when Denver plays the Chiefs on Dec. 6 and Jan. 3.

Well, the road to number 6 got a lot harder. That is brutal.

 

[Hostile]

So it looks like I will be in DC for Christmas if HogsRLegends pays up.

so Hostile you got a bet with HogsRLegends again?

Not yet. I won my bet with him. 2 tickets to the Cowboys game at Fed Ex.

I want to figure out some way to get that other ticket to a member of this forum, but haven't decided yet how to do it.

If the afc team is the visiting team its on CBS if the nfc team is the visiting team its on FOX.(That is for day games only of course)

Why do people do this every yr?

The schedule is no harder (or easier) than it was yesterday...we already knew exactly who all 16 games were going to be against.

It is what it is. If we're a good team it wont matter.

 

[Hypnotoad]

DAMN!

ESPN just mentioned through first 8 weeks we play only 1 division game.

Ware on ESPN... first thing he thought about was ''how can we get some wins''

3 of last 5 games vs division games
3 of last 5 games vs playoff teams

Ware wants team to keep an even keel...

 

[Hostile]

Post Thanksgiving is brutal.

 

[FanSince61]

Actually we have 4 games vs. AFC opponents.

Just messing with you, I know you meant 2 home games. Every other year CBS gets to televise the Thanksgiving Day game, since we alternate with Detroit on playing an AFC opponent.

 

[bbgun]

I think he means that CBS will not want to lose the chance to broadcast any Cowboys games, seeing as how they're consistently ratings winners.

Well I would at least like one December game against a non-contender. And closing @ Philly two years in a row is lame.

And it does matter, getting pounded in December wears you down in the playoffs. Look at Baltimore. Whether you're a good team or not.
