Ugh, this could be a long day.

 

[Bryan8284]

In other words.

Pitt's offense is struggling, but their defense puts them in great position to win games through turnovers and field position on stops.

Those Pitt defensive ranks are jaw dropping.

 

[Don Corleone]

Ugh, this could be a long day.

...and a long week. This game can't get here fast enough.

 

[panchucko]

That is why they play the game.

Oh yes it can. Let MB and Ware heal as much as possible. We are going to war.

 

[Pick6TerenceNewman]

Ugh, this could be a long day.

Look at our defensive numbers! We pressure Big Ben into mistakes, WE WILL WIN!

The Steelers are very good but not unbeatable! The Cowboys will pull off the upset!

 

[Bigdog]

The over/under I think is 41.5. Looking at those stats and the forecast, I'll bet the under.

I agree but not because of the snow showers that are in the forecast.

 

[BigDinAZ]

Good info... should be a good game!!

Good Offense against Good Defense (Statistically)
Bad Offense against Good Defense

 

[Smith22]

Pressure Ben and don't turn over the ball and we should have a really good chance of getting the W. The weather & field would seem to favor the Steelers considering we have a much better passing game, but we shall see.

 

[pancakeman]

My ears hurt.

 

[YosemiteSam]

The Cowboys rout the lowly AFC team called the Crapsburgh Stealers by 17+ points.

I don't think Pitt can beat us by a lot but I think we could beat them by that much although I suspect a 24-13 game is much more likely. That's 37 pts. Maybe they think the Boys will get closer to 30.

 

[aikemirv]

A good number for the Cowboys.

10:

Number of days of rest - esp Ware and Barber
Number of days Romo and Garrett have to study Pitts D

Their offense is putrid. If you removed the help their offense gets fron their defense they should rank almost last in the NFL. All Dallas needs to do is play close to the vest on offense, and just don't allow turnovers. Score some points along the way, and the game is ours.

P.S. Can we suit up Larry Brown?

Dead on

We limit the risks, play safe and smart, we can do it. Turnovers will be the death of us. A Romo deep INT is like a punt, but it's the fumbles and hitch INTs that will doom us.

I have faith.
