Is this an early must win?

The idea that it's not a big deal if we lose some makes us losers...that and the fact that we lose games we should win.

Damn!  Finally someone with some sense.  Every game is a must win.  Never play to just get by.  Play to win and beat the poo out them.

Can’t afford to lose a game against a team that should be in the wildcard hunt at home. 
 

The Dallas game was excusable, the Philly game was not. Losing three straight, with two of those at home against teams you have equal or better talent than should rattle the confidence of everyone over there. 
 

I would say it’s absolutely a must win.

Was going to post this. more specifically I was going to be like "I'd give my left nut(not really) for a coach that actually coached like every game is a must win". Like stop fuging punting the ball in scoring range and poo on 4th and short.

Must win games begin when we are a loss or tie away from being mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.

This game is extremely important because Sam is starting to play like trash, and we've got to have him bounce back. Also the team as a whole is making a lot of dumb mistakes, and that is partly due to being young, but we have to turn the corner. Maturity has to come quickly or it's another lost season.

Absolutely. 

We made changes in the off-season to be better. These decisions have to yield better results. 

From a narrative standpoint, if we lose this game expect things to shift into hotseat talk and WTH were we thinking trading for Sam Darnold. 

That said, we can win this game.

    • Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.
    • I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
    • It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
