Favorable schedule to begin season

[Diehardblues]

We don’t have a playoff team until week 4.Good possibility to begin 3-0.

Only 3 games in Oct with only 1 playoff team in Egirls. Good possibility for 2 more wins.

Nov much tougher with 2 playoff teams and 3 games on the road .

And December with 3 tough playoff teams. 2 on the road in potential cold weather sites.

We must take advantage of easier schedule early getting off to a good start in Sept and Oct with at least 5-2 start.

they better start better than they did last year or it will be over before thanksgiving

Not sure why you would say this. They made it to the post season and won the division. They did it the hard way, and we were all wondering if our Boys would even make the playoffs, but they did.

 

[Pompey-Cowboy]

We will start well and we will win the division. Quit stressing already.

 

[Howboutdemcowboys31]

Anything other then 3-0 start would be pretty bad. All of those teams will be drafting top 10 again. Eagles have a probable 2-1 or 3-0 start as well

 

[ShortRound]

Hopefully Frederick will be close 100% by the opener. I’m excited to see Fredbeard and what Kellen brings to the offense. We should start off well early on.

Got to take care of the division rivals... NY is rebuilding. Washington’s QB situation is shaky, but they are still a solid team overall— lots of guys returning from injury.

Philly looks to be the stiffest competition. If we come out of the divisional games 4-2 or better, we will be right in the thick of things.

Opening and closing the season with home games is a distinct advantage. I like our bye week where it is too.

That is what they said last year.

 

[CouchCoach]

Nothing is a given except any given Sunday. The key is going 2-0 in the division to start off because I've got a feeling that will come into play at the end as well as the conference record.

I am not assuming anything at this point, not even a win against the Giants or Skins. It's not as much about the competition as it is about the Cowboys and what the roster looks like to open the season.

 

[Captain-Crash]

5-11 and excuses will be flying why we suck... (hey come closer, everybody but dak)

 

[Future]

The entire schedule is favorable, because most of the teams are bad.

 

[TexasHillbilly]

The entire schedule is favorable, because most of the teams are bad.

And the only reason we make the playoffs is because we did not play a team with a winning record. I can see the posts now.

There’s no consistent correlation between how well a given opponent played in the previous season and how they will play in the coming season.

True. One injury or trade can make the biggest difference.

 

[Tangle_Foot]

I'm not worried about the schedule.
how's it going guys

We play only 1 playoff team in the first half of our schedule, you. On the downside, we’re the only team in the NFL with road games in 3 consecutive weeks.

I just hope this is the season where we finally beat Tom Brady.

 

[MWH1967]

No Use in walking through the season and then get blind sided in the Playoffs. All that does is get you a crappy drafting spot. This team needs some tests to see where they are. I really like this schedule. When and if they get there you will have a better idea if they have a shot.

 

[charron]

High: 5-2, bye, 6-3

Low:4-3, Bye, 5-4

Unless we implode we should atleast make it back to 9-7 and that may not get us to the playoffs (see 2017).
