Just some notes.

* We scored our first touchdown when Tony began to evade the rush and then threw into a crowd of three Steelers and got the ball to #81. If he was open, it was by the tiniest margins. Does Tony read defenses or does he throw to his 2-3 favorites?

* 5 sacks. A stop on 4th down inside the 5. Our defense played great. And how would we have played if we had a rested MBIII in the 4th quarter? If Tashard had someone to spell him, how would he have played in the 4th quarter?

* Pitt does know its stadium and they thought having the wind in the 4th quarter was more important than getting the ball first. How many passes did we complete in the 4th?

Gut feeling, but the weather was at least as important as anything else. On a neutral field with more modest wind, we beat this team.

It was a great effort today...Tony Romo totally sucked and had perhaps his worst overall game as a Cowboy. If Tony even plays a mediocre game, we win handily.

Not to keep pointing this out, but how many running backs did the Steelers use? I counted three. If we had even two halfbacks this game, and a rested halfback in the fourth quarter, the game would have been different.

It's not like anyone threw very well into the wind this day.
