Giants struggling to score in preseason doesn't bode well for Cowboys opener

[Nova]

Sarcasm? We could very easily end up going 0-5 against the teams you mentioned. It will be very tough for us to even win 2 (2-3) of those 5 games. And if you throw in our division rivals, well that's another 6 very close games. So all in all we have at least 11 games that will be TOUGH, I honestly don't see how this is an easy schedule. We even probably have one of the hardest schedules in the league.

Nope. Completely serious.

You've got to realize that, under competitive balance regulations, the rest of the NFL isn't going to field gimme teams anymore. The NFL has done it's best to ensure that every week is a challenge.

So while the schedule may have some tough teams on it, so does everyone else's. In fact, the Cowboys are 8th from the bottom in terms of strength of schedule for 2013, so you can imagine what other schedules look like around the league. (Carolina goes against SEA, SF, NE, MIN, and if course ATL, and NO twice).

The point is, the Cowboys look to be getting the best breaks possible given the circumstances.

I didn't even mention that we may catch a Pierre Paul less Giants team, and a Von-less Broncos team.

Before we truly turn the corner with the Giants, we need to intercept one of Eli's signature hail mary passes that have worked so well against us in the past.

You mean the ones where he closes his eyes, says a prayer, and chunks it as far as he can while his receivers catch it with their face masks... and off our DBs ankles.

If that's the case, then this whole thread is irrelevant, agree?

Hmm... Well...

Let's just chalk this thread up to wishful thinking and to the end of another offseason.
