It would be nice if the NFL schedule makers finally cut us a break for once.
Since 2002, the Cowboys have played only 2 home openers, the fewest in the NFL during that span. On top of the fact that the Cowboys keep playing on the road to start, they always seem to do so against a difficult opponent.
Here are the last 10 season openers for the Cowboys: (Teams in bold were coming off playoff appearances)
2003 vs Falcons
2004 @ Vikings
2005 @ Chargers
2006 @ Jaguars
2007 vs Giants
2008 @ Cleveland (Did not make playoffs previous season due to tiebreaker, but did finish 10-6)
2009 @ Buccaneers
2010 @ Redskins
2011 @ Jets
2012 @ Giants
Of those 10 opponents, 6 were coming off of playoff appearances and only the 2004 Vikings and 2010 Redskins were coming off of losing seasons. The Browns and Buccaneers were coming off of winning seasons albeit not playoff appearances.
Any chance that the league gives us a noon home kickoff vs the Raiders to start?
