So now that we've won the games we needed to to be 8-4 lets talk about the upcoming Steelers game. I want this game worse than any other this year and a solid win next week would go a long ways to ending our longtime December woes. I just hope the Cowboys are as fired up for that game as I am.

I must admit I am wondering how our OL is going to do against their zone blitz. This is the matchup I am most concerned about. They cause a lot of confusion and I dont think smarts are the strength of our line. I hope they prove me wrong. I would be more than happy to eat that crow.

I would rather not, it will be December and it will be our first real test sinse Romo came back. No maore Seahawks on the schedule. Not to mention the field condition is likely to favor Pittsburgh.

I like the matchup for us... our pass rush against their questionable pass protection.

It's going to be an AWESOME game. This might be the most fired up I've been for a regular season game in quite a while.

The history we have vs. the Steelers... The ugly, nasty field... The stupid Terrible Towels... Big Ben... Their great D against our great O... How can you beat that?

I'm just hoping Ware is okay. :pray:

Unfortunatly, Our pass rush is all predicated on teams overcommitting to DeMarcus Ware. If he is out or slowed I bet our pass rush becomes very average in a hurry.

I used to think that... the Dline has been a force lately. Rat, Spencer, Ellis, Tank, Hatcher, Spears, Canty have all been getting push it seems. Add to that Wade dialing up some nice blitzes and we are more than one player. One AWESOME, AWESOME player though.

Will wait for the Steelers to play the patriots before I think about the matchups. Anything can happen in a game.

We CAN do this and I think we will. Why?
Because we are the better football team. I don't think Pittsburgh will be able to protect Ben to the level they will need to to roll with us offensively.

Romo won't have a huge day, but if the field holds up he will make enough plays to win this game. We are one of if not THE best road team in the NFL when playing well, and we are playing well now.

Now it depends on Wares health.

It will be hard to beat Pitt because they will give us their best shot at Heinz field.

The weathers supposed to be nasty too.

Starting to feel the mojo again... I am sure this team will now play confident and fight to the end. That's all you can ask for, it's a lot of fun watching them play again.

Is anyone going to Pittsburgh for the game? If so where are your seats? I'll be there, I hope that we will have a good showing of cowboys fans out there

Pittsburghs going to be tough but I like the mindset and the demeanor of how this team has been approaching the games lately.

But I'll worry more about Pittsburgh in a couple of days. For now I'm going to smile and celebrate this victory.
