I want to know ahead of time if this is considered a "big game"

That way I will know if I can feel good if we win.

:D

I think come Sunday people will figure out it is a big game.

Ask the people in Denver if this is a big game. That crowd is going to be fired up.

Those AFC West teams have awesome fan support and their stadiums get to rocking when need be.

And don't forget the high altitude factor.

This is a trap game for Dallas and they better come prepared.

All wins are good wins, if we win yes feel good about it.

Funny NFL Network this morning was talking Dallas and one commented people are asking what is wrong with the Cowboys but they are 2-1 and 1 drive from being 3-0. The other guy responded it is Dallas and for what ever reason they are expected to win big every week and when they don't people question them.

Only if we lose. It's an AFC team that is not half as good as their fans believe. We should win without any major issues. For goodness sake it's only the donkeys we are playing. It not like we are playing a team that is filled with pro bowlers.

When we miss the playoffs by one game the previous year, every game is a big game.

True, looking back at 2008 the Rams game was a big game.

Personally I think playing a 3-0 team when people are doubting your team is a big game.

All games are big games. Is it a season-ending game? Not in week four, but some fans will think so (see Giants game).

I think the "only if we lose" crowd is the same crowd that buys into the medias reactions and thats why it will all of a sudden become a big game.

If Dallas wins the media will overlook this as no big thing. If not they will freak out.

This early in the season with the media waiting to pounce, I would say that it is indeed a big game for this team. Lose to the Broncos and this team will be roasted all week long.

Depending on the Cowboys margin of victory, some will freak out regardless even if we win.

:eekmouse: 1 point win over a good team?

:eekmouse: 14 point win over a bad team?

Same thing.

I think this is a defining game for both teams.

Denver has built some confidence by beating on weak sisters. Dallas has done the same but has also shown that it can hang with the best in the narrow loss to the Giants.

When the schedule was released on April 14, most of us had this game penciled in as a win. Winning on the road in the NFL is never easy, and Dallas faces two upcoming road games that it needs to win.

I think we'll find out on Sunday if Dallas is for real.

This is a big game. First of all, the game is an away game. Second of all, the Broncos are undefeated regardless of who they have played up to this point. And lastly, Invesco Field will be rocking and is one of the tougher places for a visitor to play in.

If the Cowboys take the momentum from their Monday Night win into Denver, then we should win this game and get a little bit of respect around the league.

Well, I can tell you that since I voted "only if we lose" all 16 regular season games are important and the division games more so. I hate the tools at espn but that doesn't mean in my case that if Dallas loses and THEY TRASH Dallas (because they will) that it becomes a bigger game TO ME. So speak for yourself.

Sorry but it just doesn't make any sense that it is only a big game if we lose.

The only way I can see it being a big game if we lose to people who vote that way is if they buy into the reactions afterwards.

I agree ..... if its big, it should be big with either a Win or Loss.

We have not proven enough to be "supposed" to beat an undefeated team.

Every game is a big game IMO. There are no gimme games. See Rams 08. Dallas has to take every game like it is the Super Bowl. Win , win , win,

Man, it's Wednesday and I am already pumped.:starspin
