Week 9:Dallas Cowboys(2-6)

[HollywoodSteel]

Why would Cooper start over Little Ben?

I actually would be more afraid of a totally unknown guy. We at least have some tape on Little Ben.

[HollywoodSteel]

It might seem funny but teams do often struggle against totally unknown QBs that they haven’t prepared for. I obviously don’t think we’ll lose, but you never know when a team finds their Tom Brady.

I would prefer to play against Little Ben.

Revolving QB chair in Dallas. Maybe Danny White and Roger Staubach can have a tryout too?

Would be better then what they have now, They make Rudolph and Duck look like stars.

Man, our offense sucked. I’m so much happier with our offense today.

But our defense in 2008 just made splash play after splash play to keep us in that game.

The game this week hopefully won’t be nearly that frustrating.

Per Teresa Varley:

"Ben Roethlisberger said the team met in the indoor practice field today in a larger space and individual meetings will be held virtually because of the COVID protocol following the Ravens positive test."

I think we had good skill positions, but that O-Line was miserable. Ben was pressured nearly every play.

Yep. How did we win the SB that year with that offense? I'm surprised Ike Taylor actually caught an INT at the 8:45 mark!

I don't know, especially because of the offensive line and our running game but the offense deserves the credit for having step up when it was time like in the fourth quarter when it was close as in this game vs Dallas, in Baltimore the week after and in the super bowl

Santonio Holmes and Ben didn't have their best season for the stats but in the fourth quarter when it was time to be great, they were!

[Craic]

I like this Steelers team. I know they don’t get the hype like New England did in years past or even KC is getting now because the Steelers win games usually by one or two scores and not 35-9.

the media loves offense and is mesmerized by KC and all the years of Patriots dominance was led by the Pats offense and not their defense.

but the Steelers are good because of their good defense as well as their good offense.

As such, I don’t need the Steelers to win by 14 over the cowboys just to satisfy my anxiety. I just want them to win.

Speak for yourself. Even my cardiologist is rooting for a big win for the Steelers for the sake of my health.

DeShea Townsend's pick 6 was awesome

[ALLD]

Cowboys should start Roy Rogers at this point.

[j-d-s]

Usually this would be a classic trap game, but with their 4th string QB I can see a shutout coming. We probably can rest our starters in the 3rd quarter, because the Dallas Defense is also extremely bad.

Unless by some miracle the Dallas 4th string QB suddenly turns into the new Tom Brady, of course.

My pick: 31-0

No Cam but now Buggs ??

No Cam but now Buggs ??

yeah...

[polamalubeast]

[tube517]

The guy w/the funny hair might be the only DT backup on Sunday

[HollywoodSteel]

If Buggs can’t play, that is a problem. Especially against a Cowboys team that’s gonna run on every down until we stop them. This is a game where we actually want to play in our base 3-4 as much as possible. Until we’re like 30 points ahead.

Who do we have at DT?

Yup, Ezekiel Elliott isn't having his best season, but if he gets rolling he can be a problem

[86WARD]

Zeke is “injured” not fully practicing...

[86WARD]

The Cowboys have been mindful of Ezekiel Elliott's practice reps this week as he deals with a hamstring injury suffered in the fourth quarter of last Sunday's loss to Philadelphia.

Head coach Mike McCarthy said Elliott did a little less in Thursday's practice than he anticipated, but the Pro Bowl running back was feeling better Friday as the Cowboys put the finishing touches on their preparation for Sunday's home game against the Steelers.

"We'll take tomorrow and warm him up Sunday (pre-game) just to make sure that he's full go," McCarthy said.

he is doubtful....

[polamalubeast]

[Hawkman]

Buggs was a full participant at practice today.

[86WARD]

[ETL]

Steelers will win but won’t cover - why? Because scoring after a comfortable lead is not their priority. Ending the game quicker with runs that keep the clock going and avoiding injury is their priority

[86WARD]

Would love to see a 31-38 to 3 score in the Fourth Quarter and see Mason, McFarland, Ray Ray, Highsmith, etc. get plenty of snaps!!
