Is this a must win?

Yes. You can't lose to Bradford at home. C'mon now.

Neither team looks like a Super Bowl contender, although the Cowboys have a legitimate shot at their division title. It's hard to see the loser of this game finishing better than 8-8.

Yes the Boyz must start winning consistently at home. I often feel we don't have a home field advantage like most teams........

 

[jarntt]

No. It's week 3. It's likely that even if we lose we may still be tied for first. I don't see how it is even a discussion.

It is a discussion because it is a game a good team is SUPPOSE to win @ home, unless you are fine with the same shit, different year......

It depends on the context. Not a must win for the division, because even with a loss, we could still be tied for 1st. It is a critical game as far as the wildcard goes though, both for overall record and conference record

I think we all know we can lose this game and then reel off 13 wins in a row and still be fine- so in that context no its not a must win. Coming off of a tough loss though, playing a decent team at home and facing a fairly tough schedule the rest of the way, absolutely this is a must win. Sooner or later, we have to make a statement.

So if I disagree this is a must win game I am fine with the same shit different year? OK...

You asked why it was even a discussion

This is a need to win, but not a must win. The games that we look at on the schedule and say "we have a good chance", we need to win those. The NFCE games are all must wins.

If not this team is headed for ANOTHER mediocre season

Conference games are always important. Nearly as important as divisional games. These are the games that help your case down the stretch if you are fighting for a Wild Card spot, so you need to win these games.

 

[Clayton]

Not for the Cowboys. Its pretty close to a must win for the Rams if they are even thinking playoffs this year because the NFC West is brutal

This team ain't winning 13 straight, under any scenario

I agree.

Agree here. It's week 3, and dallas has a history of losing game we should win then turning around and beating a top team. Please don't take this as we are in a perfect posistion if we lose.

Looking at K.C.'s offense how in the hell did we lose to these guys.

Looking at K.C.'s offense how in the hell did we lose to these guys.

Two reasons. Offenses don't always play the same week after week, and our offense couldn't put points on the board. We could play KC again next week and there is absolutely no guarantee they win that game.

Moral wise, I think it is an important game. It's a home game, we have to start making it OUR HOUSE. Winning there does that. It would be nice to win, a confidence booster, hopefully a start to a string of wins.

Divisional game, even though it's early, it's still important.
