Cowboys 2010 – 2011 Schedule & Opponents
January 25, 2010 by Matt Lawrence ·
The Cowboys Season is over after a heartbreaking loss in Minnesota. Jason Garrett seemed to forget that the Vikings have one of the best Defensive Lines in the NFL when he was making the game plan. Seriously why would you run Barber outside when you have Jones & Choice.
All that aside, now that the 2009 – 2010 Season is over lets look at the opponents that will be on the 2010 – 2011 Dallas Cowboys schedule. I think that everyone will agree that the Cowboys schedule is going to be tough one this season.
Dallas Cowboys Home Games – Schedule & Opponents
New York Giants | 8 – 8 – 0
note: Not sure how I feel about the Giants, without Strahan I think they lack the leadership they need. Eli Manning doesn’t appear capable of providing it.
Cowboys Win
Philadelphia Eagles | 11 – 5 – 0
note: The Cowboys continue their mastery of the Eagles.
Cowboys Win
Washington Redskins | 4 – 12 – 0
note: Mike Shannahan won’t be able to fix their problems in 1 year if at all. His last season with Denver doesn’t do much to make me think that things will be different in Washington.
Cowboys Win
Chicago Bears | 7 – 9 – 0
note: The Bears defense is fading, and Jay Cutler does not appear to be the answer on offense.
Cowboys Win
Detroit Lions | 2 – 14 – 0
note: This game is a must win, the Lions are a few years from turning that thing around.
Cowboys Win
New Orleans Saints | 13- 3 – 0
note: The Cowboys beat the Saints breaking their undefeated record. The Saints had injury trouble for this game last year. This one could go either way.
Push
Jacksonville Jaguars | 7 – 9 – 0
note: The Jaguars and Cowboys will put on a good game, but I think the Cowboys will handle the Jaguars.
Cowboys Win
Tennessee Titans | 8 – 8 – 0
note: The outcome of this game will depend on which Titans show up from last year. The Titans that went on a win streak or the Titans that went on a losing streak.
Push
Dallas Cowboys Road Games – Schedule & Opponents
New York Giants | 8 – 8 – 0
note: Even though the Giants were terrible last year, this is still a road game against a divisional opponent.
Push
Philadelphia Eagles | 11 – 5 – 0
note: The Cowboys have the Eagles number, but again this is a divisional opponent.
Push
Washington Redskins | 4 – 12 – 0
note: I think that the Redskins will have a terrible season next year, another new offense.
Cowboys Win
Green Bay Packers | 11 – 5 – 0
note: I don’t see the Cowboys going up to Lambeau and beating the Packers, it’s too tough to win up their against a strong Packers defense.
Cowboys Loss
Minnesota Vikings | 12 – 4 – 0
note: This game will depend on whether Favre returns or not, but this is a tough matchup for the Cowboys even if he doesn’t.
Cowboys Loss
Arizona Cardinals | 10 – 6 – 0
note: Will Warner return? if Kurt does the Cardinals are a playoff contender, but if Matt Leinhart is the QB not quite so scary.
Cowboys Loss
Houston Texans | 9 – 7 – 0
note: The Texans are so up and down it is hard to know what will happen here.
Push
Indianapolis Colts | 14 – 2 – 0
note: Two words: Peyton Manning.
Cowboys Loss
The 2010 season could bring one of the toughest schedules the Cowboys have seen in a while, the Cowboys 2010 opponents were 139 – 117 – 0 in 2009 if my math serves me right. Is this a tough schedule, yes, but this is the NFL and who knows how any team will fare from year to year. Looking at the schedule I have determined that the Cowboys have 7 games that they should win for sure and 4 games that I don’t see them winning. This leaves 5 games that could go either way, if the Cowboys can win 3 of these they will finish 10 – 6. Basically the Cowboys need to beat 3 of these 5 teams in the 2010 season for a shot at a playoff and possible superbowl in Dallas.
