Saints game doesn't worry me they have Rob Ryan as their DC now!!
Yea, but the Saints defense could walk off the field and it would still take our Offense 3 plays to score--Sad

LOL same stuff every season. Look the players must focus on the game in front of them but fans can speculate about any game they want, it's all in fun right? Lighten up sheesh...

I would throw in the Vikings as a tough game for us...

What upgrades has Dallas added this offseason to put them ahead of the Commanders? The Commanders were a bad matchup last season for Dallas. Nothing has really changed.
Seriously?
How about half the defense, the defensive staff, and at least for part of the games, Dez, Miles, and Murray.

Injuries are not upgrades and posters seem to forget that the defense played better after all the injuries. There is a good chance that these injury prone players will be injured again this year.A new staff and system is not going to help. If anything, it will take a while for the players to learn the system.

my toughest 4.

1. GB. Too much talent with Rodgers.

2. Saints. Again Brees is elite and the Saints will be at home in the Dome at night.

3. Chargers. Top QB and we are playing in back to back road games across coasts. Typically teams struggle in these situations.

4. Chicago. Talented roster top to bottom provided they fix the OL.

When u get back the entire center of ur defense , that is a upgrade. As far as the defense being worse after the injuries, that's garbage, they couldn't stop anyone.What happened was The Offense and Romo went on a roll. They cut out the massive turnovers.

As usual, the Cowboys toughest opponent is of course The Dallas Cowboys. When they stop beating themselves, things will start to go a lot better for this team.

The hue and cry is the new season is a completely new sheet of paper and everything written on the sheet for the last season is washed away.

This is called hope. Hope is something people live by when shopping for lottery tickets and new football seasons.

In this bit of programming the hopeful ignore any facts that might come into play, writing them off as the braying of the negative.

But they ignore that they ignore variables which influence the outcome of games to be determined. The bromide here is any given Sunday and stats suggest a team can go from a zero to a hero from one season to the next.

Again those examples are not analyzed to see why they went from nobody to somebody, because that would mean analyzing your favorite team to see if the same type of moves were made and successful here like there.

To some, coaches mean change. Regardless of the results the coaches posted at their last stop.

In the final analysis hope overrides logic for the future, and logic for the past.

Hope taken in more than small doses is dangerous.

But then I'm negative, regardless of my track record for accuracy.

Note: I'm well aware that all NFL games are hard to win. I'm not saying the other 12 are easy games. But I think these 4 will be the hardest.



  • Giants at Cowboys. Oddly enough, the Cowboys are 0-4 against the Giants at home at Cowboys Stadium, but 2-1 on the road against them at MetLife Stadium.
  • Broncos at Cowboys. Peyton Manning and Wes Welker against the Cowboys' pass defense.
  • Cowboys at Commanders. After Giants @ Cowboys, this would be seemingly the next most difficult NFC East game to win.
  • Packers at Cowboys. Aaron Rodgers against the Cowboys' pass defense.



i can go along with this. leaving out all the other factors, i agree our two divisional opponents will be the giants and skins, teh eagles seem to be a mess right now as they scramble to make changes and install new ideas into the team.

The Broncos didnt lose because their team was easy pickings at the end so its safe to assume if they do nothing and come back as last year, they will do the playoffs yet again.

I personally feel Peyton believes he can repeat the success with that team and has faith to go forward especially feeling two teams in his divsion do nothing to get to the next level.

I think if Dallas plays this cards right and choose to make their destiny the schedule is as favorable as any other.

right now i have to generally agree but you never ever know, everyone thought the iggles would be our toughest games last year and they fell apart. Same could easily happen to any of those folks. Imagine Manning going down for either the Broncos or Giants and those games are easy. Who knows what the Saints will be like. Teams nowadays go from top 10 pick to SB contender and vice versa in a season or two.

Lol no broncos really. Chargers arent even a top 20 team! They'll probably win just cause they are way more physical than us.

Saints always a tough match up. Dec 9-22 gonna determine the season IMO.

As it seems to every year the past 4 or 5 years. And we seem to always find a way to come up on the short end of the stick.
