With Sunday’s loss to the New York Giants, the Cowboys finished third in the NFC East for the second straight year and will have an easier 2012 schedule as a result.

In the two games decided by their place in the standings the Cowboys will host Chicago (8-8) at Cowboys Stadium and travel to Seattle (7-9). Had they won, they would have hosted Green Bay (15-1) and traveled to San Francisco (13-3).

Here is the remainder of the schedule, not including NFC East foes:

Home: New Orleans, Tampa, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Chicago.

Away: Atlanta, Carolina, Baltimore, Cincinnati and Seattle.

At least I will get to see them lose in Seattle this year!

Wonder if we'll get a division game this year on T-day. It's been a while since we've had one.

I hope not. I hate losing on Thanksgiving.

Probably. Only other options are N.O. or TB. I think our game with the Saints will end up being a SNF/MNF game. We did have TB on TDay a few years ago but I doubt we'll see that next year with them finishing this year on a 10 game losing streak.

This honestly looks like a 6-10/5-11 schedule to me the way we finished our season.

I think we can beat Cleveland, Tampa, maybe Carolina, and maybe Seattle.

We were lucky to go 2-4 in our division. I think we end up splitting with Washington and getting swept by Philly and New York.

Unless we get a massive overhaul of our secondary, or a great pass rusher opposite Ware, or an offensive line that gives a damn.

4 to 5 wins in 2012, calling it now.
