who cares...bone headed commentators dont play or decide the games

What was his reasoning behind the Steelers beating us by 20? Hell what was his reasoning for saying they'd even score 20 let alone beating us by 20? I don't understand that. The Cowboys defense is closer to the Pittsburgh defense than the Pittsburgh offense is to the Cowboys offense if that makes any sense. Everyones entitled to their opinion and i'm not one of these fans that get upset that every analyst doesn't pick the Cowboys to win but i'd atleast like some logical explanations.

No doubt! Merrill played for the Steelers and is being a homer!

Where's Jamie Dukes to call out Hoge when ya need him?

Emmitt was co-chairing the conversation and picked Dallas to win. It was funny because they were going over their stats for the 1991 Dallas-Pittsburgh Thanksgiving game. Emmitt had over 100 yards rushing to Hodges 9 carries for 9 yards. Dallas won 20-10 and Michael Irvin had a huge day.

I guess you could understand someone's logic behind thinking the Steelers will win easily. Our team has underachieved basically all year, we've won 3 straight but two of the wins were vs lousy teams. We did beat Washington in DC, but so did they and they beat them worse than we did. We have a TON of injuries, we're on the road and then there's the potential weather issues. Then there's the isue of our team failing miserably every December, and the fact our QB sometimes has trouble taking care of the football against an excellent defense that is known for causing confusion and forcing turnovers.

We can definitely beat them, but we have to do start doing something we havent done in years, play our best football in December instead of our worst. If we we play as poorly as we have in December's of the last few years, we will get beat bad.

Apparently the weather's only going to be negative for us. Guess it will actually help the Steelers on offense.

When that line of reasoning is used, the only thing I can think of is Putzburgh is a run first offense and we are a pass first offense.
