How big is next weeks game?

[SDogo]

Besides being a divisional game, against a rival, on prime time, tied for first place, 0-1 in the division while the Eagles are 2-0 and both teams sitting at 4-1 in the conference............

Just another game

I think the game against Philly will tell us where this team is at mentally.Either this team will respond to the challenge or possibly collapse like the debacle last year in Philly.

HUGE. Can't go down 0-2 to the NFC East. Not gonna kill the season if you lose but you can't sit here and say Atlanta was a must-win and not say the same about this game when its against a fellow NFC EAst team and you're currently 0-1.

 

[stilltheguru]

After 44-6.............................nuff said. This is the first game i put any stock into since the first Giant game. Falcon game was meh.

 

[zeroburrito]

biggest game of the year.

Had we beaten the Giants, this would be a big game, but not huge. However, since we already have a Division loss and the Eagles are 2-0, this game is the most important game to date.

We need this win. if we can go into Philly and win, it sets the stage for an even bigger November. We have 5 games this month. This is Tony's best month as a starter. We are on a 3 game winning streak. Tony has won 12 consecutive November games. If we win this game, we are in first place....6-2 total, 1-1 div, 5-1 conf

Next week is the kind of game this team usually don't show up for, it will tell us a lot about this team. It's a huge game

 

[NextGenBoys]

Yep this is our first "big game" of the year.

Now people can understand why after many on this board lost it about Romo's "Big Game antics" after the week 2 loss to the Giants, a few of us said it was too early to meltdown on the season.

I dont think next weeks game is as big as it appears. Is it big? Yes, but it isnt THAT big. The winner of this game will have a 1 game lead over the loser with 8 games to go and 1 more H2H matchup, plenty can and probably will change in that time frame..

Every game, each of the 16 weeks is big.

It will be a glimpse into December and January. Not doubt about it in my mind. We win I think this team is setting the tone, we play hard and keep it close but lose there still is hope, we fold like a lawn chair and the season is over.

It's huge, but at least the Cowboys have momentum this time, unlike last year when they lost to Baltimore before heading to Philly.

its one step bigger than the game we just won.
you play one game at a time;

you forget the 3-0 to 0-2 in the division. that is pretty huge.

I beg to differ. It would give the Eagles a leg up with a 3-0 division record while Dallas would be 0-2. The best Dallas could do is tie the head H2H and would have to win out in the division while hoping the Eagles lose 2 of 3 to even stand a chance at any tie breaker.

This game is HUGE

 

[TD-33]

It's potentially the biggest of the regular season because of the way the season ended last year in philthy. It is for a division "W" first of all and if Dallas goes into lincoln financial and plays the way they CAN play, it will be a huge confidence boost and a way of putting that flop last year behind them.

Pivotal game and could really bring the Cowboys closer together as a team.

 

[Alweezy]

as it has been said before, this is a very important game. And if we're talking about what get's proven with a win, if Atlanta was just about beating a team that was playoff caliber, now we have to do that and do it on the road.

Put aside all the things on the line right now, the Eagles humiliated us on that same field last season. If the Cowboys can't win this game or at least make something out of it, I think this team loses a big edge of confidence against the Eagles.

Add in the fact, that it's a prime time game, and it seems everyone always brings their A+ game against us, were going to be in for a tough game, and well to be honest the Boys have to keep playing good football to pull this one out on the road. All and all this will be yet another test to whether this team is a playoff caliber team or not.

 

[Woods]

This is a huge game, esp after what happened last year versus the Eagles.

It will test the psyche of the Cowboys.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Every game is a big game. But this one is just a little bit more than the rest. Division game always are. Division games on the road always are. After what happened in Filthy last year especially.

After beating the Falcons and Seahawks we are significant again. We matter now. We were 3-2 and looked at as an 8-8 team. Now mention the NFC playoffs and the Cowboys are included in the conversation.

Beat the E-gals in Filthy next week and suddenly we are elevated into a higher level to where we were in 2007. One game can really make a huge difference.
