With all the missed tackles last night, good luck to this defense trying to tackle Fields.

And for Guyton, he gets the best 2 DEs the next 2 weeks - Watt and Hutchinson.

As bad as Pittsburgh has been the last 3 years, Mike Tomlin has never had a losing record in his career. Anyone who thinks Dallas should win next week is nuts.

Arthur Smith is a run game genius. I’m not buying 26 yards vs the Giants as a sign the run D is fixed. Just look at the 4th and 1 where Singletary is stopped 5 yards in the backfield but makes everyone miss and gets a first down.

we are going to lose to them, because of their defense. our offense can't run. their defense is #3 in pass defense. they will make us one dimentional, which makes it easy to play pass defense. their pass defense is #5 in the league.

so we won't score much. their offense is not that good, but the giants, the inept giants didn't have to punt until middle of 3rd quarter. they just couldn't convert FGs to TDs because they can't run like us and when you can't run, you will struggle in redzone. our defense will make any offense look good.

this is going to be a close loss at home.

I do not expect Dallas to win but they have the horses to do it.

I guess I’m not that impressed with Pitt as you guys are. Winnable game and a run game that’s closer to the Giants then Ravens or Saints.

I expect another tough fought close game that can go either way.

As usual it depends on what team shows up.

We lack a running game but they can get creative with getting Lamb involved in the run game and throwing underneath.

Perfect matchup for us at this time. A hard fought battle to toughen us up some.

Watt normally lines up on the defenses left which puts him against Steele. Maybe the move him to the other side to face Guyton, but either way, the Cowboys need to get the tackles some help with him.

This is one of the best head coaches in the entire nfl. Tomlin consistently wins with sub par talent. That game in Pitt is not going to be easy and their physical and mental toughness is probably going to be too much for the team to handle.

Didn't we have a chance to draft TJ Watt?
Don't know if that was ever mentioned on here.

Going to be a boring game. Got to win the turnover battle and keep Fields in check .

Gonna be a tough game but I believe it's still winnable. The Cowboys always play the Steelers hard.

:laugh: :laugh: Can't wait to see all the posts in the game time thread mentioning how we could have drafted Watt!!! One of the dumbest moves in history was choosing Taco over Watt.
