Fox Sports: Why the Dallas Cowboys are ripe for a letdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers

[TwoDeep3]

Personally I think this is steaming manure that falls from a bull's hindquarters.

************************************************************************************************

The Dallas Cowboys have rolled to seven straight victories behind their dynamic rookie duo of Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott. They have the best record in the NFC and appear destined for a playoff berth after going 4-12 last season.

Their two biggest wins came against the Commanders, Packers and Eagles, but they'll have arguably their toughest test on Sunday against the Steelers.

It may not seem like much of a challenge on the surface, considering the Steelers have lost three in a row and dropped to 4-4 on the season, but this is Dallas' biggest game by a wide margin -- and the Cowboys are ripe for a letdown.

As long as we don't turn it over and we limit special teams mistakes (Lucky - ya feel me?), we win this game handily. The Burg can't hang with this team if we don't give them any early reasons for hope.

Stick to our formula and physically take their will come second half. I like our chances. We will come to play!

Tell that media to get a life beyond soap operas about the Cowboys. Rotten representation of the sport.

 

[MileyDancer]

They've lost 4 games for a reason. We've won 7 games for a reason.

 

[SDCowboy]

Well we probably are about due for a letdown. When a team wins 7 in a row, there is bound to be a bad game around the corner eventually.

According to Stephen A Smith the Cowboys "Are are an accident waiting to happen" Not this week fool, we roll with 10+ points.

I wanted to read the article, but couldn't get past this line in the second paragraph...

"Their two biggest wins came against the Commanders, Packers and Eagles.."

Math is hard yo!

Going to be a very tough game. Vegas line actually when back to -3 for the Steeler when the experts here claim it would fall to -2 or better by game time.

People thinking that it's as easy as thinking how could a 4 loss team beat a 1 loss team.......... don't understand the ebbs and flows of a NFL season.

 

[Zordon]

I don't consider a loss on the road vs a desperate Pittsburgh team that's getting healthy a letdown.

I saw that too. Smh.

First off WE WILL LOSE THIS GAME!!!(I have said that every week since week 2 and I don't want the football gods to think I'm getting cocky).

Secondly, this is a good matchup for us. Our offense should be able to do what they want and there offense isn't tuned enough for a shootout. Only thing that worries me if there offense wakes up, the way we play will still keep it close.

I sense some serious humble pie being served after this game

Hope their hungry

 

[CATCH17]

I'm not expecting a win today..


If we run the ball well than we will win but we are just due for a loss and Pittsburgh is due for a win.

I hope I'm wrong.

Especially when you are banged up in the secondary.

 

[Macnalty]

I agree it will be a tough game but they will be bending to our whims on offense, that is crucial along with our ability to avoid turnovers.This is a very difficult combination to overcome and very difficult to defend when this Oline moves forward like an ocean liner at the snap. Take away Witten and Beasley like the article encourages and you have Zeke, Dak, and Dez, not a likely scenario for a win.

 

[Carson]

Especially when you are banged up in the secondary.

They are pretty banged up at receiver. They still have arguably the best receiver in the NFL. But looks like Brown, Rogers and Coates will be their guys. Green is banged up at TE as well

 

[DogFace]

After we win. We all know the story.

But wait until next week...the week after and so on.

Exactly. Every week since the Cincy game it's been "the biggest game!!!" Even back in week two was a must win lol

I am expecting a Win for sure

BUT

If we lost to the best offense we have faced to date it wouldn't surprise me or upset me much the trio of Ben, Bell, Brown is no joke it is 2 good teams getting ready to slug it out
