I don’t agree with that at all. This game is far from must win. They do need to play better and I think they will but a loss here would not be the end of their season. Both Gallup and Trystan Hill will be back for this game. I don’t expect the WR’s to drop as many passes as they did last week and I don’t expect to still be rusty.
I know we very rarely disagree but I never said it was a must WIN, JUST VERY IMPORTANT. All teams have a bad week from time to time, even great teams. Last week, 7 first place teams lost. But the great teams and Super Bowl contenders for the most part, respond very favorably. And that is what I'm looking for. I want them to send a message to the rest of the league that we are still big time contenders and not a one and done team. A loss today signals to me that our Cowboys are only benefiting from a weak division and its the same ole, same ole. And I'm not so sure the NFC East is the worst division in the NFL anymore. A person could make a case for the AFC East, AFC South and NFC Central are worse.
