 This is (on paper) the easiest schedule the Cowboys have played in recent memory. Obviously the division games are tough and New York and New England are formidable opponents but we get the NFC West which is essentially a glorified CFL division or just a joke of an NFL one.  We also get TB and Detroit who should be strong teams but not necessarily frightening.

I love starting off with the Jets...Rex vs Rob Ryan. Garrett will have the perfect chance to prove that he is one of the brightest young coaches in the league who can let his teams play do the talking as opposed to the mealymouthed Rex. It will be an emotional night for New York because of the 10 year anniversary of 9/11 but perhaps this over excitement will work in the Cowboys favor. Either way...the Jets can come get some.

Just one more quick thought...how come the Cowboys prime time schedule is always so monotonous? Always those 3 division games on national TV. How about we get the old rivals, San Francisco on prime time instead of the ever-failing Redskins. Just a thought.
