Steelers favored... Cowboys decimated by injuries...

Cowboys by double-digits

That was my exact thought. I see this being 28 - 7 win for the Cowboys.

 

[Bridgeburner]

Yeah this is tailormade for mediocre-mike to shit the bed again.

Aubrey kicks 9 field goals and makes 10 of them.

30-6 Cowboys

 

[Pure Steel]

The 8:20 start is never good for the liver……

 

[thedddd]

What a shit show that performance was.
The o-line was awful and it is never a good thing when your best o-lineman gets steamrolled.
Also the Cowboys really exposed Beanie Bishop for what he is, an undrafted rookie free agent thurst intto the slot CB position.

If you notice on the winning play he went out of position and essentially caused Tolbert to get open. If he would have stayed in his zone position he would have had an easier time trying to break that vs Elliot having to have to play catch up.

This is a perfect result of why you don't play conservative offense & rely solely on your defense to win... Because it doesn't matter how physical you play if you're not putting points on the board to put the game out of reach. It's always going to be a 1 possession game in the 4th quarter. Winning ugly, or narrow margins of victory are not going to cut it.

I don't know what its going to take for this team to pull its head out of its own ass and play with urgency. They got new coordinators, quarterbacks, etc multiple times and are getting the same results. Every year, every week. Less than 18 ppg. Fichtner, Canada, now Smith.

This Dallas team was decimated by injuries everywhere, turned the ball over 3 times, committed 11 penalties, and were just 25% in the red zone and the Steelers still couldn't pull off a win at home. What a joke this team is.

To make the offensive matters worse... They are choosing to limit snaps for Pickens & Najee as if that will help.

So you're telling me that on primetime football you want to have an offense consisting of Van Jefferson, Scotty Miller & a substitute teacher at RB?

This team isn't serious...

Yeah, how the fuck is Van Jefferson the leading receiver by snap count?

.500~ season, here we come.

Pickens was clearly pissed off all night. Getting more & more unhappy. For sure going to see some drama unfold in coming weeks.

Looked like he gave up on numerous plays.

Maybe Tomlin was sending him a message by benching him.

It's been like that all season, with Van outsnapping him.

Trade Pickens now while you can get value for him, because at this rate the kid is gone.

Almost like they were trying to outsmart the opponent with talentless hacks.

The two best plays of the game was the Allen to ‘Muth pass and the Fields to Pickens play late. They essentially abandoned both the rest of the game.

I don't blame him. Really a joke that he isn't getting targeted the most, every game.

 

[thedddd]

Just like the WR garbage they have you mean to tell me there wasn't an NFL veteran DB available who has played the slot vs throwing Bishop out there ever week? Yeah I know it is only until Sutton gets back but he is getting exposed more and more every week.

5 dropped passes, multiple outbursts... We knew he'd be a ticking time bomb.

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Dallas had allowed 65 first half points this year... That's an average of 16.5pts they cough up in the first half to their opponents.

Steelers had 3 points at half. Against that Dallas defense that was shorthanded & without 2 of its best players (Parsons, Lawrence).

Tomlin football.

 

[Bridgeburner]

Welcome back mediocre mike.

 

[Superbelt]

Low-effort Pickens.


Just trade him already, it's only going to get worse from here.

Yep. Kid had the opportunity to step up & be a leader and turn over a new leaf... But he's back to being the same problem child.

But trading him essentially waves the white flag on this season
