All the pressure is on Dallas and not the Vikings

After Dallas gave up 14 points in the 4th quarter on the road in GB, and have GB lose a few days later at to TENN, made Dallas look more like chumps.

Dallas being favorites over an 8-1 Vikings on the road, brings a LOT of pressure on Dallas.

I see this game as a MUST win, because if Dallas looses two in a row, I can see this team implode.

I can see why Dallas is favorite....1) Dallas is desperate 2) Vikings are in for an emotional let down. They can't keep up this on-the-edge games for 10 weeks.

Have no idea how the Cowboys are favored in this game. They’ve played their best games this season as underdogs, so this is a bad sign. The Cowboys obviously have more pressure on them because they’re currently in third place in their division. This will be their fourth conference loss if they lose on Sunday, which will hurt their wildcard chances. The season could come down to a tiebreaker, and they’re not putting themselves in a position to win any of them. The Cowboys season will very likely be riding on the last two games in week 17 and 18 on the road against Tennessee and Washington. They’re going to have a tough time getting a split in those games. The remaining schedule doesn’t appear to be in the Cowboys favor.

..no matter what Dallas does or doesn't. They are always under scrutiny.

Win or lose. If they win Vs Viks. Oh, that was luck. The defense will implode following week.

If they lose. Oh it's over. We knew these guys stank. Dak is overrated...etc.

All we can contend with, is getting a win and hopefully enough of them to make playoffs.

We all better hope the Cowboys season doesn’t come down to a season finale elimination game in Washington for the final wildcard spot. Washington is riding a wave of a momentum right now, and is only a game and a half back of the Cowboys. They’ve beaten two teams we weren’t able to beat, Green Bay and Philly. They could possibly get Chase Young back by the end of the season. They appear to be a better team with Taylor Heinicke. They had over 100 yards rushing against us in the first half earlier in the season. Don’t anyone make the mistake of disregarding them.

The Cowboys aren't the team in a two way tie for the #1 seed and a 1st round bye in the playoffs.

If the cowboys win this game odds are they get a wild card spot. If they lose this game odds are they have a wild card spot.

The pressure isn’t on the cowboys here, it’s on the team going for that #1 seed. The cowboys have almost nothing to lose aside from a chance at a division title if the eagles were to lose again.

The two Super Bowl teams last year were 7-4 and 7-6 at one point last year. This 6-4 and the season is over talk is ridiculous.

They are favored? WTH??

We're 2-14 against Brady and Rodgers. Didn't surprise me at all that we lost. Does surprise me that we almost won after playing so sloppy. If we lose this Sunday then I'll be worried. I can see us imploding too. Especially if we lay an egg.

If we somehow make the playoffs and Rodgers and Brady aren't there, I'll be busting out my pom-poms again.

Yea and no. Vikings still trying to take the number one spot from Eagles.

No pressure. More like proof.

Of course more pressure is on Dallas. The once thought of “front running” team is coming off a loss to the 3-6 Packers and desperate to right the ship. Vikings are playing with house money with their 8-1 record and the Eagles losing to the Commodores doesn’t make it a must win for the Vikes.

I wouldn’t put coin on this game for love or money….I can see either team winning

Per board at beginning of the season, we had one of the top 3 easiest schedules in the league. When you lose a game you should have won now things have changed.

I suspect that they beat the Giants regardless of the outcome of the Viking game.

Where this is true. But they have back to back games with the giants as well. So if they sweep them that gives the Giants 4 losses not including any other losses. The Giants also still have two games against the Eagles.

I am like you and have been saying since Heineke took over. It’ll be a week 18 winner takes the final wild card spot.

I see us being 6-5 and panic setting in. We will get to 9-5 after that

Farthest thing from a must win. Even if they lose were 6-4. Gotta beat the Giants after that and we would be 7-4. Still a solid start.
