Steelers secondary is terrible. Romo will buy time and pick them apart but the thing that bothers me is their awful field. The league really needs to do something about their field. It's prolly the worst in the league...

can someone tell me why we should be so afraid of the 8-3 Steelers who can barely score?
Their defense is ranked #1 in the league in most categories.

That will keep you in every game.

Their offense doesn't scare me.

But the game is in their house.

Nor do the wind, the sun, or the rain...
I love that song. BOC is underrated.

Dude you're still setting yourself up for dissappointment. Just chill and let this thing ride out. You have to look at things for what they are. The Cowboys beat a team that's what 3-7? I think. Come on now. The boys were suppose to when this game.

I agree.

Sometimes we fans get too ahead of ourselves. Like the poster who mused that would could go 16-0 after a 3-0 start.

Repeat after me ...

One game at a time.

The only team that concerns me is the Giants. Still I believe we can go 12-4...

bolded for emphasis. Players cannot look at that December schedule and say, gee, that gauntlet will be too hard for us. We will be fine with this line of thinking.

I fear the probable impact on Barber's ability to run the ball effectively due to poor conditions at Heinz Field moreso than the Steelers' top defense, but that's just me.

players have to consider one game at a time, fans don't. nothing we say has any effect whatsoever on the game.

We're going places as long as you didn't se what the gmen did in the desert last weekend. they are a jugernaut and we will see here in a few weeks. Honestly we need the pacman this week since Jenkins is out. Remember when everybody was worried that we had too many corners and some wouldn't get any playing time. I love me Whitten but he hasn't been much of a factor of late because of injury. Maybe the Bennett pick is looking a little better every week. and finally for those who thought we didn't need Roy Williams because we had Austin and we gave up too much. Well Austin is at home and you see how out first round picks end up so we didn't loose all that much here.
But I digress..

Going into the Skins game last week, I said that "this is the end of the season" (if we lost), or............this is gonna' be the team that nobody wants to play come playoff time.
I don't know...........really. This year is a little weird, in a good way. Maybe, just maybe, we're doing things in reverse from the last few years. You know, all bling and razzle-dazzle, high hopes, etc..........only to go flat in December and go "one and done" in the playoffs.
This thing sniffs and smells of going on a tear, for once, when it matters.
Last year, at this time, nobody had the Giants on their radar screen. NOBODY! No matter what they say. It was a "house divided", Tiki's book, Strahans big mouth, the media calling for Coughlins and Mannings heads, etc.....and look what happened..........
I say that Dallas wins against the Giants, Ravens, Steelers and Beagles, and goes into the playoffs (wild card or not) on a tear...............and they'll be the team that no one wants to lock horns with.
And they better, because THIS IS IT!! This won't be the same team on paper next spring. Free agency, salary cap, aging (offensive line), etc......will have taken it's toll by then. THIS IS IT. The best shot we have to date in over a decade...........

I have to agree with you on the fact that maybe were are doing things in reverse. This year we simply may dominate the month of December and go into the playoffs with a lot of swagger. Afterall, we've only lost 4 games, good post. Disclaimer- we should also take one game at a time, so let's sally forth with Seattle.

I can hardly believe some of you are overlooking the Steelers with #1 defense in every category, crappy field, wind, (very) cold weather, loudest home crowd in the league, Super Bowl experienced team ....etc., etc. That game will require a huge effort to win. I believe Dallas can do it but to me that game is as tough as the NY game @ home.

One thing to remember though. A crappy field can really be an advantage to a passing team if they have proper cleats. It is harder to react to a WR in bad conditions. So, if we are able to make some throws it is to our advantage.

After watching the Saints totally destroy a very good Packer secondary, I'd hate to meet up with them when they are on like they were last night.

When we play Pittsburg it will have been 17 days since they last had a home game there. As long as they don't let college teams play there the field should be decent barring any extreme weather situations.

Win, lose or tie- Cowboy fans until we die!

Who cares what happens? This is one exciting season no matter where it ends. In the Super Bowl would be fun, but it's still been a wild ride.

Thats the thing though. I'm pretty sure they have the high school finals there that weekend. I would find it hard to believe the field will be in the shape it was last year when the same thing happened. Jerry will throw a fit to the NFL not to mention I'm sure they got ripped pretty hard for last year.

We can beat the Steelers. Not that hard if the O doesn't beat themselves. Same with the Giants. We are better. We just have to play to the level of our talent.
