Here it is boys... a Must Win Game.

First off we have to go to Seattle the following week and they just don't loose up there.

Secondly- if we are actually good, these are the games you win.

I watched the Buffalo/Houston game and I was NOT impressed with the Texans. The O was good but they are very limited at QB. I thought Mallet would be starting by now. But the D wasn't that great. I think we can run and pass on them with great success.

Must win baby! HOW BOUT THEM COWBOYS! :grin:

While not technically a MUST WIN game, we MUST WIN this game if we are to show we have reached the next level and are to be considered playoff contenders.

We must not fall asleep on this one. These are the types of games we typically lose after a big and emotional win.

But if we stick to the game plan, and run, run, run, then I think we end up 4-1 going into Seattle.

Yes these are the type of games we must win. Win the games you are supposed to win, take a few others along the way.
Show you are a contender not a pretender, yeah that old cliche'

As I said a few times, win the games you are supposed to win, and I felt coming into the season, we go 4-2 in the division, win the Titans, Rams, Texans, Jaguars, and there are 8 wins. We took one from the Saints, that would be 9. Can we do 5-1 in the division again, not out of the question, but will be very hard. I won't go there yet.

Just need to with this next game first, before anymore thinking ahead.

All wins are needed as we all know. Can't take any opponent for granted (see Steelers vs Bucs).

Right now a lot of folks are on the bandwagon, but just as many are waiting to say "see, I told you so. Same ole' Cowboys."

I think it's a must win.

If this team is truly improving then we should win.

A must win for sure. To make the playoffs we must win as much as possible. I don't want to see our guys playing soft because it's Fitzpatrick we're facing. I'm confident we'll be in his face a lot on Sunday.

Getting a win Sunday is important. By finishing that game off against the Saints we got one of the "same-old-Cowboys" monkeys off our backs by not blowing the lead. At the same time, there have been plenty of big wins in Cowboys history that were followed by duds on the field. We need to avoid that this week for sure.

If we win I bet you don't see it the following week.

You already have one prediction waiting in the wings with the whole Texans at the stadium thing going. I don't think you should over stretch your betting prowess two weeks in a row. :p

Theres still plenty of games left. but if we lose this game we could be down 2 games behind the Eagles after week 6. This is a game we should win! We will see if we are really good or not the next 2 weeks.

For me it is a must win game, living in Houston I sure as heck do not want to listen to these idiots putting down the Cowboys and acting like they just won the SB. For Cowboys it is an important game but I never call a game MUST win until it truly is a must win.

I expect they will have the same amount of Texan fans at the stadium whether they won or not.

No way any of us will know if it would have been more or less but I still see a good amount of Texan fans being there because of the distance and them making a game vs the Cowboys such a big deal.

Just as I see some fans out there thinking that every game is a must win game and some fan will probably still post a thread that boils down to it being a must win game no matter what we do this weekend.

It is just a given after seeing it so many times before.

Was New Orleans a must-win? I get confused about when we consider an early-season game a must-win and when we don't.

We're 3-1. It's preferable that we go at least 4-2 over the next six, but even if we go 3-3, we'll be in a contending position heading into the final six. Now, I'd love for us to beat all of them, but there are no must-wins on the schedule yet.

CL's homering out.

Ha, nope I never had this team as 5-11 or whatever terrible record people were predicting. We've been 8-8 the last few years while puking up a sure win or two every year the last few seasons and it's not like our talent has fallen off a cliff. A little better injury and schedule luck (and Garrett not mismanaging the game) and there's no reason in this watered-down league we couldn't have a winning record.

Romo's back willing, of course. But right now it seems to be.
