This is an Important game if you want to win the Super bowl

[kskboys]

Nope. No team has ever won the super bowl due to the first game of the season.

Best example: Bills 31 Pats 0

Pats win super bowl.

 

[Reid1boys]

Every year the Dallas Cowboys have won the Super bowl they have swept the New York Giants.

This goes all the way back to 1971 when it was a 14-game season and the Cardinals we're in our division.

At that point division games made up over half of our schedule and we're very important they still are this game should not be taken lightly.

If we don't win this game there is absolutely no way we are winning or going to a Super bowl.

While I mostly agree with you, the Seahawks lost the opener to the Raiders last year. BUt, I feel the same. If we think we are and can be a SB team, you do not lose this game to the Giants.

Meh. They are all important. The Cowboys will win games we don't think they will. They will lose games we think they won't. By the end of the season you want to win enough to make it to the playoffs. Winning or losing tonight won't determine if they will make it to the playoffs or win the super bowl.

Can't miss the layups. You can go .500 on the rest.

Exactly we don't lose to the Giants and the raiders are not in the Seahawks division so the ramifications are not quite so bad.

Exactly you know the teams in your division and you gear up to play them and win.

Sweep your division and that six wins go 500 with the rest of the schedule and that is at least another five wins 11 wins usually gets you in the playoffs I would think.
Having control of your division by week home field good things

Nope. No team has ever won the super bowl due to the first game of the season.

Best example: Bills 31 Pats 0

Pats win super bowl.

Out of the 60 Super bowls played 43 of the teams have won their first game of the season.

And nearly all the teams have had a winning record against divisional opponents.

It's a game we need to win no excuses.

Sam Darnold won the SB last year (full stop)

Another little known Cowboy stat

No Cowboy team has ever won the Super Bowl when their QB ate two Big Macs during halftime.

This is actually the most important game of the season. It sets the tone..

It’s just one game. Let’s not make it bigger than it is. If we win it doesn’t mean we’re awesome and if we lose it doesn’t mean we suck.

It’s the first game with a new DC and a young team. There’s going to be a lot that happens between now and January.

It can certainly get things started on a very good note or cause us to have to play catch up.

And we all know it's easier to keep up than to catch up

Agreed it is just one game and we're not making it bigger than it is

But it is what it is and that is a division game and the first game of the season that sets the tone of either starting out on a positive note ahead or playing catch up.

No matter how people try to rationalize it division games are important.

according to this 60 SBs equals 120 teams and if only 43 won the first game of the season...

Romo, Dak, and Jerry ensure mediocrity.

You think the BEST players are the reason?

Good lord so stupid.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Come on brother how could you forget Garrett.

Garrett is the patron saint of mediocrity that kept us at 8 and 8 NFL purgatory for years

There's TONS of reason besides Dak and Tony. Unbeliebably STUPID take!
