Reading Hos' list of our 2009 opponents I was reminded of this completely useless exercise I undertake each year a month or so before the actual schedule is released.

Lot goes into a season's success, but I always felt how the schedule lays out can make a difference.

I try to take into account some of the rules and trends and formulate what I see as an ideal schedule.

As I said this is a complete waste of time. But what better place to do it.

Here's mine.

1 @Chiefs
2 Commanders (Sunday Night)
3 @Broncos
4 Falcons
5 @Giants (Sunday Night)
6 Panthers
7 @Eagles
8 BYE WEEK
9 @Wash
10 Eagles (Monday Night)
11 @Packers
12 Raiders
13 Chargers (Thanks)
14 @Saints
15 Giants (Sunday Night)
16 @Buccaneers
17 Seahawks


I know the NFL will most likely have the Cowboys open the new stadium week one, but I always liked opening on the road in a winable game.
I put us at home for 3 out of 4 primetime games. We'd never get 4 at home. But I do suspect we'll get three to show off the new stadium.
I always like to see the toughest decent weather road game after Thanksgiving, since we have 10 days to get ready for it.
Of course I softened up the Dec schedule as best I could for obvious reasons.
 
The only team I trust the Cowboys to beat on a regular basis is possibly the Raiders, I have a feeling if we had played the Lions once this year, they would have gone 1 - 15.

that schedule is way off, you have road game, home game, road, home, road, home, road, home so forth, by your count we dont have back to back road games all year.... and only one back to back home game. nice try sir.....
 
Just so we dont start on Thursday night. Opening Sunday would suck then. Even if we play on Monday night the excitement is still there on Sunday.

I don't understand why you would trust this.

We have an overall losing record against the Raiders and have lost the last 3 times we have played them.



As for my ideal schedule...

Week 1...9/7 vs. Commanders on MNF. I can't think of a better way to launch the new stadium.

Week 2...9/13 @ Packers on SNF

Week 3...9/20 @ Chiefs

Week 4...9/27 vs. Falcons

Week 5...10/5 vs. Giants on MNF

Week 6...10/11 @ Broncos

Week 7...10/18 vs. Panthers

Week 8...10/25 @ Eagles

Week 9...bye week

Week 10...11/8 @ Commanders on SNF

Week 11...11/15 vs. Eagles

Week 12...11/22 @ Giants

Week 13...11/26 vs. Raiders on Thanksgiving

December swoon never happens.

I can. Let the game be played on SNF week 1 and have the week 2 game be on MNF.
 
Who cares what happens Sep to Nov. Concentrate on Dec.

at Raiders
at Bucs
Seahawks
Skins

maybe then we can have a winning record in Dec.
 
IMO, each team should open and close their schedule each season with a division opponent.
