Still at least the NFL gives us a break here by giving us September to get our Defensive wrinkles ironed out in the new 4-3 and hopefully establish some consistency on the offensive line that we didn't have a chance of from training camp last year. Week 5 Broncos should be a high scoring game with their issues in secondary. I don't think the Broncos will intimidate us Week 6 First Skins game no RG3, Kirk Cousins instead – Dallas finally forces some turnovers, sacks Cousins who's not a statue by any means but can't run the zone read like RG3 Week 7 Eagles up tempo offense stuns Dallas, and Romo’s comeback falls short at Philly. Vick gets a win but gets hurt as Eagles o-line weaknesses exposed Week 8 Cowboys can overcome themselves and an awful Lions D in a shootout. Dez gets better stats than Megatron Week 9 Vikings pass rush will make Romo miserable, Christian Ponder gets just enough for the win despite new weapons Week 10 Cowboys lose shootout with Rob Ryan’s Saints on a missed field goal. I see a high amount of emotion for this game Week 11 BYE to rest up badly dinged up team Week 12 Boys beat Giants in Meadowlands coming off their bye week, I can't see JG allowing three losses in a row Week 13 Boys should beat the Raiders on Thanksgiving in their last 'easy' game of the season Week 14 Bears seem to have Dallas’ number dating back to 2010, but Dallas finally beats Chicago thanks to knowledge of Tampa 2/Marinelli, and forcing some Cutler turnovers. Maybe Brandon Marshall comes in dinged up and Bears other weapons fail to make plays. Week 15 Cowboys blow lead against Packers, lose to ignite bad December collapse memories Week 16 RG3 returns to torment Cowboys in December, but Boys finish Dec 2-2 Week 17 Dallas pounds Philly in Arlington, Eagles drop to 8-8, Cowboys take a wild card spot behind NYG who win NFC East with a 10-6 record. Egals finish 8-8, Redskins go 8-8 after RG3 gets hurt again
