    Don't sleep on Dallas

    They are playing for pride and still have one of the best RBs in the game and we have a depleted defensive line. They will want to control the clock and keep our offense off the field. They also have the talented WRs who if they get one or two plays can take it to the house

    IMO we have to get the lead early and force them to play catch up

      I usually don’t do this but.. ain’t no way we should lose to Dallas.

      Now, I just watched Tampa struggle with the Giants so anything is possible but I would be surprised if we lost that game.

      I will say, it’s the Cowboys and we are the only team they will get up for this year.

        Just rewatched PIT-BAL game. I have to say Mr Buggs had a very good second half. He just needs more playing time and he could excel.
        DAL OL is JV. I don't care who the Steelers put out there, there's no reason they shouldn't manhandle them all day long.
        Pride may keep them in the game early but it won't last 60 minutes.

            Not sure it matters if they start Cooper Rush or Ben Denucci. Cowboys will only win if they have a dominant running day

              Ezekiel Elliott hasn't reached 100 yards in any game this season.

                DiNucci was 21-of-40 for 180 yards in Sunday night’s loss and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said on 105.3 The Fan Tuesday that facing the Eagles was “frankly more than he could handle.” I read multiple articles saying DiNucci was completely overwhelmed by the speed of the game. Their other option is to bring up a guy who could not initially beat out the guy who could not handle live action.

                This would be a horrible loss with no excuses. Dallas is a bad team with a 3rd or 4th string QB.

                  Makes you recognize what a great job Tomlin did last year with what he didn't have. While for whatever perverse reasons some will never appreciate him as a coach, it is situations like this that you can see how lucky we are to have him.

                      I thought last year's 8-8 season was Tomlin's finest job of coaching.

                      however, some will only look at that we didn't win the Super Bowl so he should be fired.

                        indeed. Some used the losing streak at the end to bash him but even being in a position to make the playoffs was proof Tomlin and company did a great job.

                        It was ugly but it worked given what we were working with last year.

                        Look at NE without a few key players. Straight trash and the coach is making excuses.

                          after 2 wins on the road vs. undefeated team, this could be the classic let down game.

                          but dallass is so bad i think we handle them anyway

                            Game will be uncomfortably close, but we'll pull away in the end

                              Steelers can play their 2nd string across the board and still beat Dallas.
