Cowboys will be scalped by the Redskins in the divisional matches and will no doubt get a thumping from the giants. As for other matches Green Bay, Cleveland, Tampa and Seattle will heap more misery on Geriatric Jones. I think Jessica Simpson will be moving on from Tony to find herself a winning QB soon HAIL THE REDSKINS

Actually, in Super Bowl XIV, the LA Rams played at "home" at the Rose Bowl, and in Super Bowl XIX, the SF 49ers played at "home" at Stanford Stadium -- the 49ers being the first and only team to win at "home" in the title game. *not technically "home" games since the teams didn't play their regular season games there, but "home" games in the sense that the games were played within the "territorial rights" of the Rams and 49ers. Stanford Stadium is less than 25 miles away from Candlestick Park.

If T.O. and Romo stay fit, the Cowboys really should finally start winning playoff games again and make it to the Superbowl

the cowboys are serious underachievers, they havent won a play-off game for years and they have players that bottle it on the big occasion. There is a lot of hype around for them before the season, but i thing it will be same old sorry they will win there division then lose the first game of the playoffs. i really think u should be looking at the jags this season, beating the steelers in pittsburgh twice last season was very impressive!! they are ready for the next step

As a follower of football both the English and American persuasion Ifeel that I have to give my opinion. I grew up in Texas and this year have finally broken free of the Dallas Cowboys spell. When I saw that my beloved Cowboys had hired a formally banned from the NFL and convicted criminal player I could take no more. I see the Cowboys win at no cost no moral attitude and it sickens me. An owner that refuses to let the coaching staff do it's job. Jerry Jones should take a cue from the Glazer family and Sir Alex Fergusen. The manager runs the team. The owners provide the money; and no player ( or owner) is bigger than the team. That is how you win championships. The only thing that can save the Dallas Cowboys is getting a new owner. With all of his posing and postering Jerry Jones belongs no more on the field, than the Glazers do on the pitch at Old Trafford.

Brett Favre has never won in Texas Stadium. That's why it's pretty cut and dried. And since I am an Arlington resident as well, let's not forget Six Flags Over Texas (amusment park) is here as well.

I live close to Dallas and I am the biggest die hard Cowboy fan in the world. 16-0 or 0-16 I will be there watching every game. I can not wait until they win another Super Bowl. However, right now I will be happy if they can win a playoff game or two.

GREAT ARTICLE...FINALLAY SOMEONE ACROSS THE POND CONVEYS A SENSE OF WHAT THE COWBOYS MEAN TO THIS REGION OF THE WORLD.The Cowboys are the passion of most Texans,we have looked to Cowboys as a rallying point since JFK was killed here

Sorry Mark, but Dallas is to American football what Man U or Real Madrid are to the global game. They could go 0-16 and still get ten times the media coverage that a Super Bowl winner would. And the new stadium looks amazing. I wonder if they could use it for World Cup matches?

William, I'm from Arlington, too. It's a suburb. It is a city with a large population, but it is not a central city and it is definitely not urban. Mark, I agree. Let's talk hockey! Simon, I enjoyed your article. Although I think the 'Boys are improved compared to last year, they're not so much better than anyone else in the NFC (never mind the AFC) that any *reasonable* person in the Fort Worth-Dallas area seriously thinks they are guarenteed anything. And within the NFC East, you have to throw out the belief that the better team wins. Oh, and Simon - you guys need to add "Hockey" to your "Favorite Sport" drop-down. And you misspelled Favorite. Kidding! Next time you're in town let me know. We'll make sure you're going to the right watering holes in Fort Worth so you'll get better information for your research.

Arlington is not a suburb of Ft. Worth, it is it's own city. It is in the same county, but it is not part of Ft. Worth. I know, I'm from there.

Can we have an article about someone other than the Cowboys please? They get a lot of attention for a team who hasn't won a playoff game for over ten years. Granted they will start favourites for the NFC but in a very strong division and with the Vikings (with Favre?) looking like a championship outfit this year, is it really that cut and dried, especially for a team with 'no bottle'. And then if they do reach the Superbowl, then there are four (at least) AFC teams who are better than them in the Pats, Colts, Chargers and Jags and you could include Pittsburgh in that mix. I know they are 'America's Team' but this is the UK so can we here about other things please. Surely this week called for some Favre speculation or some chat from the rookie synposium. On a lighter note is does look like a fantastic stadium, Uncle Jerry doesn't do things by halves.
