Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Dallas Cowboys - Game Day Open Thread

What an opportunity! Back-to-back wins over the Pats and Cowboys? Are you serious? With the Ravens, Titans, and Browns to conclude? Wow, talk about a fun slate of teams to get on a run against.
But first things first. Even without DeMarcus Ware and Marion Barber, the Cowboys still have enough skill players to get some things done against the Steelers defense at Heinz Field. I'd like to elaborate more on this, and I beleive y'all talked about it this week some in my absence, but imagine what this Steelers D would be like on a fast track in a dome with the Steelers faithful ringing in the opponents' ear?
Whatever, we're just fine with the hand we were dealt. We have enough speed and skill all over the defense so that even on a somewhat neutralized playing surface, the D still stands out. It just requires a really good quarterback and some play makers on offense to be just one fraction ahead of our defense. It's tough to do, and teams like the 49ers, Bills, Browns, Bengals, etc just aren't consistent enough. Obviously the Cowboys offense has been humming since Romo's return. I personally find it hard to imagine him stinking up the joint tomorrow, but then I remember that despite his overall stellar play since being handed the keys to the Cowgirls offense, he's had some really really bad individual outings sandwiched in between.
Here's my feeling basically: we'll know in the first 20 minutes of the game whether Romo and the Cowboys offense are going to keep us guessing and have a great shot at winning or we're going to fluster the Cobwoys offense early and often. A T.O implosion? Abandonment of the running game? These things might be answered long before halftime.
BUT.. let's face it. When Dallas' offense is anywhere resembling being 'on', they're a top 3 offense in the NFL at worst. Fortunately they'll be missing an integral part of their offensive repotoire with Barber, but we all know better by know as NFL fans to think that's a deal breaker in a game between to highly competitive teams like this.
I JUST got in for the night and have been eager to throw something up in anticipation of this game. Soon as I could make it was the game thread, but hey, at least my mind's free to turn to the stretch run. Starting with one of our fiercest rivals.
Cowboys hold the series lead 15-14.
Let's tie it up Steelers! Beat the Cowboys!
P.S. Brief explanation as to why I first started loving the Steelers? I was born and raised for the better part of my upbringing in Austin, TX, where I was subjected to the eye-gougingly pompous and awful spectacle that is Cowboys football each and every week. I followed my dad with the Cincinnati Reds (big mistake that was since 2nd grade at least), but he hated the Cowboys too. So i was free to search for greener pastures. When I saw some really badass scary looking dudes for Pittsburgh's defense who looked kinda like Darth Vader, only a lot more demonstrably angry, I had a winner. Not very inspirational, but give me a break, I was like 8 and an NFL atheist growing up.
I'm just happy I ended up where I did, and I'd like to be reminded of that this afternoon.
Join me here.

I'm Worried About Ware
My biggest concern for today is how Max Starks will stop Demarcus Ware. Max is a borderline starter in the first place, and Ware is one of the top 3 rushers in the league.
So I am worried. We haven’t seen an O-line meltdown since the Philly game, and I am hopeful that we won’t see one this week. However, one could also argue that the O-line has been playing above its abilities, and that we may be due for a breakdown today.
I hope the weather is a factor.

Welcome Back Blitz!
I am extremely pumped for this game. Something about Dallas, Oakland, Baltimore and NE really gets my blood boiling. The first 2 organizations are the main rivals of my youth and the last 2 are the main rivals of my present.
I will be warm and safe in the great state of Cali with my NFL Package and big screen HD. Hope Heinz is a frozen tundra filled with towel waving, hot chocolate drinking, tailgating rabid Steelers fans. 8 degrees at kickoff with the windchill factor. Brrrrrrrr and HERE WE GO STEELERS!!

The Cowboys are by far my
most hated team. Growing up in Kansas as a Steeler fan I had Chiefs and Cowboy fans all around me (depending on who was doing better). O’Donnell tore my heart out with those interceptions. I can go back to the SB wins, but I didn’t see them live! So I would love a SB rematch and a win! Hoping for a great defensive game today.

Ditto!!!!!
I grew up in Shreveport, LA…about a 2 and a half hour drive from Dallas; and all I ever heard growing up was about the cowgirlz. And then the Steel Curtain was born, with a hometown boy named Terry Bradshaw at QB, and the last thrity years of being an NFL fan has been with the STEELERS! I love everyhting about this franchise, win or lose, every year! I now live in Tampa, FL and hope to see my team in person in the SB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

demarcus ware
they said on the pregame show on kdka that demarcus ware won’t play today so along with barber already ruled out this should be big news for the steelers.

No Confirmation Yet
I haven’t been able to find a real confirmation of the rumor that Ware will be out.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Dallas is just playing some gamesmanship with their lineup, the way that Tomlin has done lately with Parker and even Roethlisberger.
Great players play through injuries… but I am as hopeful as the next guy that Ware will be out.

Well, that is the concern I read about. FWIW, though, it was in the low 30s here in Austin, TX this morning, so playing in Dallas wouldn’t have been a guarantee of warmth.

was 3rd down, so they are giving up the ball either way……..of course the fumble would be better.

by MidwestSteeler on Dec 7, 2008 5:44 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Ugh, do we need to go through this again?
We have that cushion because our DB’s also play the run and want to keep the ball in front of them, instead of being up in press man with their eyes not in the backfield. It also helps us not give up the big play. And our D is historically good so it doesn’t seem like a concern. I’m focused on our incompetent offense.

Heath Miller
with teh fumble and no catches. Perhaps you were right about him being a 3rd stringer

Yup
Well I DID say he was All Pro, just felt Heath was better than you gave him credit. You got to admit BA is calling a terrible game as usual

Heath is an above average TE
Your OC is not good, but it’s not like your QB is playing any better, and you’re rb’s aren’t giving him much help either besides mewelde

Don't worry
he’s a cowboy fan – he’ll probably stub his finger typing and be out for the rest of the half.

Defense Sure Was Rested After The Half
Let these guys drive right down the field and run the ball. Very disappointing. Ben needs to step up or we’re heading for Baltimore tied.

Usually When Ben
plays horrible in the 1st he comes back in teh second. He just looks horrible all around today. He is getting no help from the play calling either.

We need a pass rush.
Where the heck is our pass rush? We’re giving Romo too much time. Even when we get near him, somebody screws up a tackle.

by Romain El 82 on Dec 7, 2008 6:30 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
they've slowed it down by calling delay handoffs
great pass rush → call delayed handoffs → not so great pass rush → passing game.
If only BA could figure that out.
by syrsteelerfan on Dec 7, 2008 6:32 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

There’s the sack! Too bad we couldn’t force a fumble or hurt him harder.

OK
not that I like seeing this. I don’t. It’s painful. But maybe this is the wake up call that we need. If we thought we were going anywhere with this offense playing like it is, we were all dreaming. We need to see the Offense step it up – now they have a chance to do just that….
