The Good: The Cowboys showed up today and should have won that game! Gilbert was a pleasant surprise and he looked like he knew what he was doing especially at the line of scrimmage where he made a few adjustments not an easy thing to do in your first start. The Cowboys defense played pretty well once again forcing plenty of punts and they should have sealed the deal with a fumble recovery but so much for that. This was the best special teams we've seen in a long time by the Cowboys, a blocked extra point (there could have been other blocks as well) great run backs by Dowdle and Goodwin, and Zurlien made all his kicks.
The Bad: WAY WAY WAY too many field goals! The old saying goes the more field goals you kick the closer you are to losing. The Cowboys offense just doesn't score touchdowns. Their red zone offense has been horrible since Dak went down and the penalties my God they're killing this team. Two more turnovers and unable to force any (should have had one). Really bad decision by Gilbert to throw that ball into the endzone only to have it picked.
The Ugly: Too many times the offensive line got dominated and yes the Steelers have a very good defense but they were able to get to Gilbert and put a lot of pressure on him with only their front four. Connor Williams got man handled on too many plays.
The Extremely Embarrassing: Actually I mean Extremely disgusting! These NFL officials are so bad they should be embarrassed and ashamed of themselves! They basically took the game right out of the Cowboys hands and they did everything they could to get the Steelers a win yesterday. How is it possible that you call that many ticky-tack penalties against one team?
