Game 1 must win

[Aviano90]

I don't know that I'd call the Carolina game a must win.

But you lose that game, and the importance of winning each game after that gets amplified.

Lose a game where the other team has no offensive line and it will be pretty telling, especially since everyone is hyped up about our defensive line.

Game 1 is when it starts counting. I dont buy hype results are all that counts

Can't get on board with must win games in September.

One loss does not a season make.

There's still 15 more games to make up for it.

Of course, wins do instill confidence, though , , , sick 'em, Boys!

Well yeah...im probably going to the game and have never seen the cowboys win in the 10 games I've gone to live as an adult, this damn sure is a must win....or I might just have to quit going to games

I don’t know about must win but I think we are going to get a good idea of just how good our linebackers are or aren’t.
McCaffery on a wheel route is the sort of player and route that has killed us in the past.

That Panther defense looks real strong....especially the front 7.
The offense has more weapons than usual too.
Week 1 will be a real challenge!
Not a “must” win though.

This has to be a record for the earliest must win scenario. Still have a preseason game remaining.

I think week 4 preseason game is a must win.

We lost the first two and still won.

True, but that was a defending SB team, this team didn't even make the playoffs last year...

I am predicting if the Cowboys win in Carolina. The team will get to the playoffs. If they lose we will finish 8-8. I know who cares what I think. I really believe we have more talent in our starting lineup when healthy, since Garrett been HC.

I will not go as far as must win but I will say it is an important game being that I expect Carolina to be in the playoff hunt and losing a tie breaker game can always come back to haunt you later. So Big game yes, must win no
