First Two Texas Stadium Games Will Be In Prime Time

Posted by Mike Florio on March 29, 2009, 12:13 p.m.

The new Texas Stadium will open in the same way the old one closed — in prime time.

Hopefully for the Cowboys, the outcome will be better this time.

According to Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News, the first two regular-season games to be played at the new Texas Stadium will kick off at night.

This likely means that the Cowboys will play their first home game on Sunday night and their second home game on Monday night, or vice-versa.

Last year, the Cowboys hosted the Eagles on Monday night in Week Two and played at Green Bay on Sunday night in Week Three.

Watkins reports that the Cowboys are expected to open the regular season at Denver. Last year, Dallas also started the season with a road game against an AFC team, traveling to Cleveland.

Possible candidates for the Cowboys’ first two home games include the Redskins, Eagles, Giants, Falcons, Panthers, Seahawks, and Chargers.

The league has announced that the Cowboys will host the Raiders on Thanksgiving.

Going in there and ruining their debut would be ultra sweet.

This would almost make good on all the regular season losing we have done at the hands of the Cowboys in recent memory. Sadly, I think we are probably tied for the 5/6 spot with the Chargers, when it comes to marketability of that game. Seachickens bring up the rear.

Every time we play the cowboys in the regular season we get cheated. They can take their Mike Carey and their bullsh1t stadium and shove it up their ass. I'd be happy if we never had to play those clowns again with the amount of times the panthers have outplayed them and lossed to stupid sh1t.

Doesn't mean I wouldn't like to see us destroy them.

But, but, but we were 12-4 and NFC South Champs. :D

The Cowboys on the other hand suck ass.

Just sayin'.

But, but the Cowboys always rebound the next year. They'll be favorites to win the Super Bowl like they should be! We're just a small market team and can't possibly compete against the almighty lords of football! :lol:
^^^ will be the only time I pull for the tie.
Fixed. :D

It will be the seahawks.

Easiest team for them to beat. Less chance of embarrassment.

NFL loves the cowboys almost as much as the patriots. They don't want them to be embarrassed again.

For the record, first team they played in Texas Stadium was against the patriots on October 24, 1971. patriots were 2-12 in '70 and were 2-3 at that point. The cowboys were 3-2. cowboys won 44-21. easy team...easy win. morale booster.

cowboys had just lost a Superbowl the previous year to the Baltimore Colts and even though they had been known as a good team and had winning records for 6 years were considered the team that just couldn't win the big games (sound familiar?). In 1971 they went on to the Superbowl and won it against the Dolphins.

Let's all hope and pray that the inaugural year for the new stadium doesn't bring the same luck for the cowboys.

    • AT got what he deserved. Be gone and enjoy those 4 catches and the bench and your pay cut
    • we have been bad offensively basically every game Rico Dowdle hasn't gone full Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson on folks.  
    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
