The game plan needs to put a higher priority on spreading the ball around and winning the game rather than placating Dez by forcing him the ball to "get him going", which is fan speak for placate him so he won't melt down and make a spectacle of himself on national TV.

Today is an ABSOLUTE must win. Make no mistake about it. Falcons are potential wild card competition and we already lost to the Rams. I'm still thinking division and this puts us in a great position heading into next weeks game. Our slip ups early in the season leave little room for error. Also psychologically we must beat a struggling 4-4 team and keep our momentum if we're going anywhere this season.

Are you auditioning to be xwalkers padawan or something? We get it. You don’t like Dez. I’m pretty sure everybody understood this dozens of Dez related posts ago.

Totally agree. I rarely do the must win unless it's literally win or go home but they have to win this game. 4 losses, 5 more games without Zeke, 2 future Wentzings. Not good.

They have to win today.

Shout out to that white midget Ryan Switzer for his part in creating this scenario. The damn Rams, dude.

It's not even thanksgiving. No today is not a must win.

I disagree bc we may need the tiebreaker against Atlanta and we def need all the NFC wins we can pile up since we are likely chasing a WC against the loser of Seattle-Rams, Minny-GB/Det, and New Orleans-Atlanta/Carolina. If we are going after the division crown and homefield then def need this one. Certainly possible to lose today and still get in but we start losing control of our destiny quickly

Who said I don't like Dez? I am stating facts, as I see them. The fact that you disagree with my opinion doesn't make me wrong. I am not looking at the situation with rose colored glasses.

Today is a must win for my week and this evening to be good, so yes it's a must win! Don't care if we win 3-0.

If we lose today and beat Philly next week, we'd still be 2 games behind Philly with 6 games to go. So Philly would control our destiny. Whereas if we win the next two, we'd be one game behind Philly and would control our own destiny since we'd play Philly again.

Our playoffs started weeks ago after the bye. Every game is a must win from here on out. Play 1 game at a time and with the mindset it's lose and go home.........I understand a lost doesn't end our season

It's not a must win but we really need this win. Especially against an NFC opponent that is also trying to get in the playoffs.

I really couldn’t care less about your opinion. Repeating it constantly has seen to that.

Well for what it is worth, Atlanta now has tiebreak on us......but don't worry, this game was apparently not a must win according to the experts here.

Cool.............just a quick question, is next week a must win game or is it no biggie to lose that one also?

Well the schedule gets easier after next week but you just know the Deadskins and Giants are going to give us their A game.
