While the media keeps mentioning the Commanders playing Sunday night

[Reality]

.. it's funny how they had no issue with it in 2014 when we played AT the New York Giants on Sunday night and then had to come back home to play another division opponent (the Eagles), 3.5 days later, and we lost that game, which was only one of four that year. On top of that, the Eagles played the early game on Sunday and it was a home game for them.

The media didn't whine about the poor Cowboys having to play a Sunday night game against a division rival and then have to travel back to Dallas early Monday morning to play another division rival 3.5 days later.

So boo-hoo, get a tissue and get over it. You play the games on your schedule. You win or you lose based on how you play, not an extra 4-8 hours of game planning caused by playing Sunday night.

I said the same thing on twitter earlier. Nobody cared at all about us traveling to NY on sunday night, but they sure had a good time goofing on romo for his interceptions and the loss that night.

I'm really not buying that a few extra hours of rest make that much of a difference.

Ya especially when that rest comes at the beginning of the 4 days and not the end

Read bart hubboch's article after tonights game. He is partially blaming the schedule makers for the loss. I almost guarantee he didn't give two craps about the schedule or the fact that Dallas played in NY in 2014 before the thanksgiving game.

I seem to remember the media at least mentioning the scheduling issue in 2014, especially with Romo needing an extra day off during the week.

Totally overrated... The double standard will always apply to Dallas.

I like not getting respected. Keep this team on edge. They have to be ready when they finally face a real test.

The local media mentioned it, not the national media

If I recall correctly the team didn't get back to Dallas after that nyg game until like 3 or 4 in the morning

Schedule had nothing to do with the Cowboys winning today. Cowboys were the better team. The Commanders didn't lose because of a late Sunday night game and travel to Texas

The skins didn't count on us being 9-1 this year. They had no problems with the schedule at the beginning of the year.
