As I say EVERY year..

Dallas ALWAYS has a bottom 5 schedule as far as being tough.. when they play good teams, it's generally at home.. usually few games with teams coming off a bye.. despite being "America's Team" rarely play out of the country.. and usually start the season and end the season with creampuff games with division opponents..

The league literally can NOT make it any easier on the Cowboys because the longer the Cowboys are in the dance, the more money and ratings the NFL gets..

So, the Cowboys pretty much get "gifted" into the playoffs every year.. the problem for them is they play mostly cream puff teams all year long, and in the playoffs, they HAVE to play decent teams.. even yesterday, due to a horrific call against the Lions, they played what I consider to be the worst team in the playoffs.. and still got their asses handed to them..

They are never tested during the season.. they never face adversity, other than the fake adversity the media drums up for them, which is pure drama and no substance.. I LOVE that they crater in the playoffs ever season.. at some point, tho, the refs will HAVE to carry them further in the playoffs.. we all know it's gonna happen.. especially when they hire Belichick who the refs absolutely LOVE..
