Would you call the Bucs game a must-win?

[Despacio]

Yes, I know every game is a must win. And a loss wouldnt mean the end of the season. But just seeing this team under .500 again would have to demoralize the fans and players, dont you think? With the Pats back to their old "us against the world" routine, and the Jets and Bills finding at least some short-term solutions to their woes, does the Bucs game stand as a must-win in your opinion? Especially with the offensively fueled Chiefs the following week?

Oh what a blown opportunity today was. :mad:

 

[FinsNCanes]

Very much so. Our schedule starts to get pretty tough.

 

[paskerbrandon]

Any time that you are a .500 team the next game you play almost has to be considered a "must" win. Dont worry if we fix these penalties, and get Ricky back it will be a "did" win.

 

[Bjorn]

yes

 

[KOYUNG]

lets hope that caddy does runs on us as well as mcgahee did today..

 

[Bonedoc7777]

yep

 

[Ross]

no

 

[Valbon8]

YES

 

[chamber blaze84]

yes we need it badly

 

[Roman529]

I would not say it is a must win as we are 2-2 and in 2nd place...if we were 1-3 I would say YES.

If we're going to make the playoffs i think we're going to have to win at LEAST, 3 games on the road. We've already lost two road games and to make matters worse they were both division games. A win here will keep us in the top 2 in the division and may even regain us the lead. As far as morale goes, this game is going to be huge.

 

[DolfanTom]

For this season, I would say yes. For the Nick Saban era? no. Right now, the team is supposedly buying into Saban's plan, except for the whole penalty part :fire:. A loss next week would really be a downer after such a positive start. A win, on the other hand, and we're all feeling good again.

True, a loss won't end the season, but it may negatively impact the team mentally, which would affect the team's performance more than anything. They need this win to prove today was an absolute fluke, and to keep their heads up high for the tough games down the road.

 

[CaptainK]

Yes it is a must. It's on the schedule. We have to play the game otherwise we would be fined.

 

[adamprez2003]

Its a must win if we are to entertain playoff dreams. If you're not concerned with our record than no, its not a must win

 

[LostInPatsLand]

I don't think the Dolphins have a "must-win" game this year.
