Absolute must win tomorrow. We've already got 2 conference losses and the Rams are a lousy team we should beat regardless of who plays QB.

I dont care how they win tomorrow, but they just gotta win this game. Even if its 6-3 or 31-30...I honestly believe the season is over if we lose.

Tampa's gonna be tough for us next week, especially if Romo doesnt play. Then its at NYG...then bye, then at Washington. We cant afford another loss to a team we're supposed to beat, especially since it'd be a tie breaking killer 3rd conference loss in just 7 weeks.

Probably not a popular opinion, but I think we can officially start looking ahead to April if we blow this one.

Biggest game of the year.. until next week. I do agree that there is a large difference between 5-2 and 4-3.

especially since the "3" are all losses in games we were strong favorites to win

I felt like last weeks game was a big indicator of the direction of the season.

I am hoping this team feels backed into a corner and plays like it has to crawl out of the dark and scrape what it can for awhile.

Each week's game is the biggest game of the year. I'd hope they'd think that. I don't see our season over at 3-3 should we lose though. I'd hope they'd think that, too. I do see this as a possible defining win or loss although it really shouldn't be. We'd make things a lot more difficult if we lose that game. That's for sure.

The Cowboys need a win against the Rams. If they take care of business, they will get to 5-2. They should be able to beat them without Romo, but we will see. If they don't turn it over and give up huge returns in the kicking game, Dallas will win.

The Tampa Bay game is a huge game. I think the Cowboys need Romo in that game, and I think he will play. I think Romo forces them to play straight up Tampa 2.

If the Cowboys can get to 6-2, I like their chances, in terms of making a run at a bye. We'll have to see if they can get some key players back from injury before the Giants game, but many should be back after the bye.

There is plenty of time to turn this thing around. Their best football is ahead of them, I think.

Just like the opener was...then Philly was...then Greenbay...all the way until last week....and then it will be the biggest game of the year each week from this point forward.

Second road game in a row after a loss in the previous. I hope they don't come out flat.

Biggest game of the year so far. The direction the team seems to be headed, from an outsiders view, isn't good. A two game losing streak would be huge.. BUt I'm sure there'll be an even bigger game later in the season!

IDK if the season is over I believe when Romo comes back we won't lose another game for the year.

What would really scare me if we lost tomorrow is that if this whole Romo fiasco this week was really a mind game, like I think it is, and we're out with him for 3-4 weeks, will winning every game when Romo gets back be good enough? Losing more then one game in the next 3-4 weeks could very well lose us the division.

if we go 0-3 we will be fore 4-5 romo gomes back we win the rest finishing 11-5 we should still be able to win the division at 11-5.

If we lose this game, and finish 13-3... this game means nothing.

"Biggest game of the year" happens in the playoffs.

Huge difference between 5-2 and 4-3. But the season's not over if we somehow lose. A lot can happen in the last 9 games.

What people tend to forget is that after 6 games last year, we were 5-1 thanks to the miracle win @ Buffalo. Had we lost that game, we'd have been right where we are right now... 4-2. But both losses would've been to AFC teams.

In terms of injured guys, we should hopefully at least get Kosier back next week I'd think. That will get our entire OL back in tact.

With Felix, maybe he's back next week, if not, hopefully versus the Giants.

On defense, I think there's a shot that Spencer could be back next week. But hopefully versus the Giants for sure.

The only guy I expect to be back after the bye week is Newman.

I think this is the least important game of the year, get Romo healthy, that's all that matters.

I think you're living in fantasy land. If they cant beat the lowly Rams, they have too many other issues and Romo isnt going to cure them.

The fact is even with Romo we are this <> close to 2-4
