This game is a must win

[mattjames2010]

AFC game, while I want to win, it's not going to destroy our season if we lose.

Giants, Eagles, and Commanders games will be must wins. Along with Lions and Vikings.

i don't think this is a must win but it does make me nervous that everyone seems to assume the cowboys will win the game easily. sue me, i'm superstitious.

not a must win, but a needed win.

here is a thought, romo never beat the ravens, so what do you think dak is thinking??
I think dak wants to beat them, and the team wants to win another one and add to the streak, so they probably will.

it may be a tough game though.

Crazy to think while sitting at 8-1.

But the Giants have the Bears this week followed by the Browns. Safe to say they'll be 8-3 in two weeks.

With them currently owning a head to head, Dallas needs every win to keep the lead.

I said it earlier this week that the Giants will be 8-3 in a blink.

Its not a must win game, but I see where op is coming from. Out of all the rest of the games left on our schedule, this game is the 2nd easiest (TB is the easiest). You dont want to drop this game and go in to a stretch of games where you play:

Deadskins
@Vikings
@Midgets

Those are 3 tough games. Win the easier game and get to 9-1. That way, even if we finish at .500 we finish at 12-4 and most likely get a BYE.

This is exactly the point. The team will be in a tight spot down the stretch if they lose this game.

Also, short week against a divisional rival on Thurs. I'm thinking we lose on turkey day :/

No. If we lose we are still in first place in our division and the NFC still controlling our own destiny

I guess I'm different than the majority here (big shocker ), I view every game in a 16 game season, especially one where we are 8-1, as a "must win."

The seasons are so short, so few games played, that every week "feels" like a must win. With that said, I will not lament too much if we lose to an AFC team. JC had a great breakdown of the most important games for us remaining on our schedule (post 23).

Let's kill the Ravens and that scrub Flacco

With this being a non conference game, wouldn't this be among the least important upcoming games? Wouldn't Washington, Minnesota, New York and Philly be infinitely more important?

Still, we're chasing the No. 1 seed, making them all ultra-important.

Agreed.

Due to our record, this is my thought, as well, Dale.

 

[haleyrules]

I hear that. Definitely my most hated division rival.

I at least respect the Giant organisation. I loath the Eagles from inside out! They are despicable.

 

[haleyrules]

This is no more a must win than any other season game. Playoff games are a must win! The club is 8-1 and looking great. The Cowboys WILL be in the playoffs and then we can seriously revisit MUST WINS!

Its a possibility.

 

[DTown214]

It's a must-win because I've talked so much crap about Joe Flacco and the Ravens this week. If we lose, I'll look like a clown. It's a must-win for my credibility and dignity.

 

[LocimusPrime]

I like winning

Cowboys can finish 4-3 to have 12-4 on the season. The Giants would have to finish 6-1 to be 12-4. There is no way either of those happening so chill on the must win.
