Oh I know it’s not a must win as far as that but don’t we want a win against the team that has knocked us out of the playoffs two years in a row? We’re cool with losses now?
A loss is never good, every game is a must win in the eyes of a coach....Salud!

I don’t understand the people saying it’s not a must win game.
Really ? You don't? I say that because it's the truth. By any metric, By any standard it's just not a must win game. It's game 5 for goodness sakes. It is at best a building block.

It's a great barometer. It's a long season, this is one of 17

We aren't winning the NFC at this point regardless, but we definitely can't fall this far behind the Eagles so yes it is a must win.

It looks like the Eagles are headed for another 14 or so win season. They just know how to win close games. I don’t think winning the division is a realistic goal if we lose tonight.
It wasn’t realistic the moment we fell to the top 5 pick cardinals

Not a must win, for me I want to see how Dak shows up, our offense, play calling, red zone... I also want to see " big time players" parsons etc. Show up. If we lose and they play lights out I can live with that.
If they lay an egg, win or lose....that is worse going forward IMO.
My only concern is if we can throw a deep ball. If we can do that there is NO stopping this team. But something’s telling me it’s dink and doink this year

The season is a marathon, not a sprint.

The Eagles aren't going undefeated, and the Cowboys should win some big games later in the season.

This game is simply an early season measuring stick, not an indication for how this entire season will go.

And even if the Cowboys win this game, Philly is still favored to win the East, and the 49ers may still be a higher seed than the Cowboys. It's one game of many. Hec, the Cowboys could beat the Niners, and then lose to the Chargers and Rams. Haven't we learned ANYthing over the past few seasons?

:huh:

Most if not all the Eagles hard games are in Philly. And ours-who would of guessed it- are on the road....NFL scheduling at it's finest against Dallas:facepalm: :thumbdown:

It's 1 of 17 early in the season. A win here only helps if they continue to win. A loss here doesn't guarantee they won't make the playoffs. It is an important game but not a must win.

With the brutal remaining schedule the Cowboys have it’s highly unlikely they would overcome a two game deficit in the NFC East.

We're surely not beating Philly probably not Washington twice

There is absolutely no scheduling conspiracy against Dallas. Take off the tin foil hat you sound foolish. The schedule rotates every year along with opponents minus three games that are based off of place of finish.
