Last year they didn't deserve to play on opening night this year they do

Last year we opened the season on Thursday night against the defending Super Bowl champions.

 

Frame it however you want. The Cowboys are a ratings gold mine and that is why they are scheduled in this game

 

Undeserving? I respectfully disagree. The score playing on the road against the defending Super Bowl champion > Bucs 31 - Cowboys 29

 

Do some of you completely understand how bad our division was last year? In thousands of years cheering for this team I've never seen the NFCEa bigger train wreck
Not even close.

 

2 playoff teams.

 

Networks knows where the rating are and as long as the Cowboys are bringing in the ratings they will continue to get primetime. Last season the 2 highest rated games was Cowboys vs raiders and Cowboys vs KC. Networks pay out big money to the NFL and as long as the Cowboys are a ratings booster they will continue to show them. Don't watch if you don't want to see them in prime time

 

Games being played at AT&T mean ZILCH...NOTHING...ZERO home field advantage.

 

Thursday, Sunday, Monday who gives a **** they shouldn't have been there.

 

They were there because they draw ratings.

 

Those 2 playoff teams combined to go 4-10 vs winning teams outside of the NFC East.

Only 1 of those 4 wins came against a playoff team - the Cowboys overtime win versus the Patriots. The others were over the 9-8 Chargers and Saints.

Neither NFC East team won a playoff game, nor did the one playoff team Dallas defeated (Patriots got blown out).

The NFC East was garbage last season.

 

The most successful sport league on the entire planet earth, puts the most popular and wealthy sports team in the entire world on prime time and a guy working at quick mart thinks they shouldn't be there. #WelcomeToACowboysForum

 

The NFC North was worse.

 

how many playoff teams in the NFC North?

 

2015 and 2020 were worst years for the division

 

Son you're just as mindless as the rest of um but keep drinking that kool Aid must taste got after 26 years of mediocrity. Oh FYI it's 7-11.

 

I wish they could draw more wins.

 

It's not an award the league gives out, it's just about ratings. If the league and network think the Cowboys will bring in viewers that's all they justification they need to put the Cowboys in a prime TV spot..

 

They draw wins during the regular season. Wish they could draw more wins during the playoffs.

 

What drives who is on Prime Time is one thing, say it with me “ratings”. No one draws more eyes to the screen than the Cowboys. If they could have 15 prime time/stand alone games, they would. Nothing else matters. No one takes “deserving” into account. Think about what you are saying before you say it. Networks are out for ratings. That’s it. They will fight for Cowboys games till their dying breath.
