FWST Blog: Who will be Cowboys foe for home opener?

[WoodysGirl]

Who will be Cowboys foe for home opener?

There are no boos like those from New York fans, so ugly that the surliness seeps through your television set, as it did today if you were watching the Rangers melt down against the Flyers in NBC's Sunday hockey telecast.

Then there's the motherly love of Indiana Hoosiers basketball fans, faithfully cheering, as they did even today in IU's horrible start against Illinois.

So how will Cowboys fans react if Tony Romo and Co. lay a huge egg when the 'Boys open the new stadium this year in September? That could be call-security bad.

Could the NFL go easy on the Cowboys for the home-opener foe?

Here are the 2009 home opponents: N.Y. Giants, Philadelphia, Washington, Atlanta, Carolina, Seattle, Oakland, San Diego.

The schedule last year was announced in April, a week or so after the NFL reveals its Thursday night opener and the rest of its prime-time schedule.

If some of the crazy rumors prove true and Terrell Owens is traded to the Raiders, Cowboys fans could at least boo an opponent.

I remember what happened the last time the NFL let Jerry pick our opponent.

I just got sick all over again.

I can't believe we play the Saints IN New Orleans...great..just great...

Hopefully we play the Raiders in our home-opener. We need to beat up on someone to get our confidence goin!

Actually, that would be the last team on the list I would choose to face simply because of what bbgun said. It's actually a worst case scenario.

 

[bbgun]

I figure it'll be an NFC East foe, preferably Washington, on Thursday Night or SNF.

 

[bbgun]

?? who?

The Baltimore game.

 

[The Panch]

I hope it's NYG. It's starting to become the best rivalry in football.

?? who?

The last game at Texas Stadium.

 

[SDogo]

?? who?

lol, ravens

Did he also not hand pick the Texans game in their first year?

Are you serious? The Raiders arn't even close to the Ravens..Baltimore was one game away from the superbowl.

A game that right now you cant imagine them losing. Seems to easy and it usually is.

Your right..okay I pick Carolina.

Gosh I wish that game was in Carolina! An easy 1 hour drive for me.

 

[Achozen]

I can totally see a Week 2 Monday Night game against the Chargers...

I just hope to god it's not the second game of a double header like they did last year.

 

[5Countem5]

Has to be an NFC East team...

I'd pick the 'skins...

 

[This is Our Year]

I could see us playing the Chargers on Thanksgiving next season.

I wouldn't mind the skins...nothing better than playing a division foe to set things off.
